Continuous monitoring of vital signs is of paramount importance. These critical physiological parameters play a crucial role in the early detection of conditions that affect the well-being of a patient. However, conventional contact-based…
This paper compares the pupillary activity index to traditional eye-tracking metrics like the fixation count and duration in assessing neonatal pain. It explores the benefits of incorporating pupillary activity measures to improve methods…
Multiple studies have shown that scalar summaries of objectively measured physical activity (PA) using accelerometers are the strongest predictors of mortality, outperforming all traditional risk factors, including age, sex, body mass index…
Existing methods to characterise the evolving condition of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) do not capture the context necessary for individualising treatment. Here, we integrate all heterogenous data…
Recent advances in upper limb prostheses have led to significant improvements in the number of movements provided by the robotic limb. However, the method for controlling multiple degrees of freedom via user-generated signals remains…
The great success of wearables and smartphone apps for provision of extensive physical workout instructions boosts a whole industry dealing with consumer oriented sensors and sports equipment. But with these opportunities there are also new…
A common challenge in Bicep Curls rehabilitation is muscle compensation, where patients adopt alternative movement patterns when the primary muscle group cannot act due to injury or fatigue, significantly decreasing the effectiveness of…
Elderly gait is a source of rich information about their physical and mental health condition. As an alternative to the multiple sensors on the lower body parts, a single sensor on the pelvis has a positional advantage and an abundance of…
Designing 3D User Interfaces (UI) requires adequate evaluation tools to ensure good usability and user experience. While many evaluation tools are already available and widely used, existing approaches generally cannot provide continuous…
Creating haptic interfaces capable of rendering the rich sensation needed for dexterous manipulation is crucial for the advancement of human-in-the-loop telerobotic systems (HiLTS). One limiting factor has been the absence of detailed…
Freezing of gait (FOG) is one of the most incapacitating symptoms in Parkinsons disease, affecting more than 50 percent of patients in advanced stages of the disease. The presence of FOG may lead to falls and a loss of independence with a…
Ankle sprains and instability are major public health concerns. Up to 70% of individuals do not fully recover from a single ankle sprain and eventually develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). The diagnosis of CAI has been mainly based on…
A person's movement or relative positioning can be effectively captured by different types of sensors and corresponding sensor output can be utilized in various manipulative techniques for the classification of different human activities.…
Passive monitoring in daily life may provide invaluable insights about a person's health throughout the day. Wearable sensor devices are likely to play a key role in enabling such monitoring in a non-obtrusive fashion. However, sensor data…
Actigraphic measurements are an important part of research in different disciplines, yet the procedure of determining activity values is unexpectedly not standardized in the literature. Although the measured raw acceleration signal can be…
Epilepsy is a common, chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures caused by sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can often be unpredictable, leading to uncertainty and anxiety for people…
In this paper, by characterizing the Leg Agility (LA) task, which contributes to the evaluation of the degree of severity of the Parkinson's Disease (PD), through kinematic variables (including the angular amplitude and speed of thighs'…
We report the development and validation of a data-driven real-time risk score that provides timely assessments for the clinical acuity of ward patients based on their temporal lab tests and vital signs, which allows for timely intensive…
Measurement of intramuscular oxygen could play a key role in the early diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome, a common condition occurring after severe trauma leading to ischemia and long-term consequences including rhabdomyolysis, limb…
Low-back pain (LBP) is a widespread disease which can also be highly disabling, but physicians lack of basic understanding and diagnosis tools. During this study, we have designed and built a new wearable device capable of detecting…
