Mobile Health (mHealth) applications have demonstrated considerable potential in supporting chronic disease self-management; however, they remain under-utilised due to low engagement, limited accessibility, and poor long-term adherence.…

The rise of wearable smart devices raises unprecedented opportunities for self-improvement through ubiquitous behavior tracking and guidance. However, the design of effective wearable behavior intervention systems remains relatively…

Smart home technology has gained widespread adoption, facilitating effortless control of devices through voice commands. However, individuals with dysarthria, a motor speech disorder, face challenges due to the variability of their speech.…

Psychotherapy delivery relies on a negotiation between patient self-reports and clinical intuition. Growing evidence for technological support of psychotherapy suggests opportunities to aid the mediation of this tension. To explore this…

Virtual borders are employed to allow humans the interactive and flexible restriction of their mobile robots' workspaces in human-centered environments, e.g. to exclude privacy zones from the workspace or to indicate certain areas for…

Any person in his/her daily life activities experiences different kinds and various amounts of mental stress which has a destructive effect on their performance. Therefore, it is crucial to come up with a systematic way of stress management…

Mental Imagery based Brain-Computer Interfaces (MI-BCI) enable their users to control an interface, e.g., a prosthesis, by performing mental imagery tasks only, such as imagining a right arm movement while their brain activity is measured…

Cognitive behavioural therapy is widely used to help patients understand and manage psychological distress. It is often delivered through spoken conversation, where therapists attend not only to what patients say, but also to how they say…

At-home rehabilitation for post-stroke patients presents significant challenges, as continuous, personalized care is often limited outside clinical settings. Moreover, the lack of integrated solutions capable of simultaneously monitoring…

Depression is a global health concern with a critical need for increased patient screening. Speech technology offers advantages for remote screening but must perform robustly across patients. We have described two deep learning models…

Biosignal interfaces, using sensors in, on, or around the body, promise to enhance wearables interaction and improve device accessibility for people with motor disabilities. However, biosignals are multi-modal, multi-dimensional, and noisy,…

Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems have potential as assistive technologies for individuals with severe motor impairments. Nevertheless, individuals must first participate in many training sessions to obtain adequate data for optimizing…

Seasickness poses a widespread problem that adversely impacts both passenger comfort and the operational efficiency of maritime crews. Although attention shift has been proposed as a potential method to alleviate symptoms of motion…

Importance: Lower-resource areas in Africa and Asia face a unique set of healthcare challenges: the dual high burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases; a paucity of highly trained primary healthcare providers in both rural and…

The five senses are gateways to our wellbeing and their decline is considered a significant public health challenge which is linked to multiple conditions that contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. Modern technology, with its…

This paper shows and evaluates a novel approach to integrate a non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) with the Robot Operating System (ROS) to mentally drive a telepresence robot. Controlling a mobile device by using human brain…

Wearable devices, such as smartwatches and head-mounted displays, are increasingly used for prolonged tasks like remote learning and work, but sustained interaction often leads to user fatigue, reducing efficiency and engagement. This study…

Mental health plays a crucial role in the overall well-being of an individual. In recent years, digital platforms have increasingly been used to expand mental health and emotional support. However, there are persistent challenges related to…

This study offers an in-depth analysis of smart wheelchair (SW) systems, charting their progression from early developments to future innovations. It delves into various Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems, including mu rhythm,…

Medical doctors rely on images of the human anatomy, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to localize regions of interest in the patient during diagnosis and treatment. Despite advances in medical imaging technology, the information…
