The incidence of delirium in patients with burns receiving treatment the intensive care unit (ICU) is high, reaching up to 77%, and has been associated increased mortality rates. Therefore, early identification at high risk onset essential for improving strategies. This study aimed create a machine learning model predicting during their ICU stay using patient data from first day admission identify predictive factors burns. focused on 82 aged ≥18 years who were admitted Mie University...
Electric wheelchair-mounted robotic arms can help patients with disabilities to perform their activities in daily living (ADL). Joysticks or keypads are commonly used as the operating interface of Wheelchair-mounted arms. Under different scenarios, some upper limb such finger contracture cannot operate interfaces smoothly. Recently, manual for symptoms being developed. However, stop wheelchairs an appropriate position arm grasping task is still not easy. To reduce individual’s burden...
Tracheal intubation (TI) is a key medical skill used by anesthesiologists and critical care physicians in airway management operating rooms units. An objective assessment of dexterity TI procedures would greatly enhance the quality training. This study aims to investigate whether any biomechanical parameters obtained 3D-motion analysis body movements during can objectively distinguish expert from novice residents. Thirteen thirteen residents attempted on an mannequin using Macintosh...
Shift workers are at high risk of developing sleep disorders such as shift worker disorder or chronic insomnia. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the first-line treatment for insomnia, and emerging evidence shows that internet-based CBT highly effective with additional features continuous tracking personalization. However, there limited studies on disorders.
Background Shift work sleep disorders (SWSDs) are associated with the high turnover rates of nurses, and considered a major medical safety issue. However, initial management can be hampered by insufficient awareness. In recent years, it has become possible to visualize, collect, analyze work-life balance health care workers irregular sleeping working habits using wearable sensors that continuously monitor biometric data under real-life settings. addition, internet-based cognitive behavioral...
We previously proposed a motion support robot and conducted experiments in which C5-level cervical cord injury patient used the system. This paper proposes to offer C4-level spinal who suffers from paralysis of limbs. Electromyogram (EMG) signals are determine user's intentions. The assist can then flexion extension at elbow joint. Using frequency analysis EMG signal, patient's intention be estimated real time, coefficient viscosity is varied an admittance controller. With method, we were...
This paper presents slippage length-and-direction perceptual functions via finger-pad cutaneous sensations, which were obtained from experiments where the linear plane moves at a constant speed while in contact with finger on an index pad. Two conditions compared this study: (1) double task condition, i.e., and duration-time varied (2) pair of single conditions, either or fixed remaining conditions. It was found that, for systematic error, there no significant difference length abilities...
We are currently facing a “labor crisis,” particularly in the field of logistics, because reductions labor force. Therefore, industries must make their logistics more efficient by utilizing autonomous mobile robotics technologies. This paper proposes hierarchized map concept that makes unmanned delivery tasks which use multiple robots efficiently. Using our proposed concept, an robot can move automatically on path than using current methods. In addition, management platform for be used to...
The presented study aims to provide for a generally higher level of safety people in hazardous situations by using an agent-based intelligent adaptive system. A design software system the prevention earthquake secondary disasters is presented. proposed control consumer electronics and other potentially dangerous equipment household, also guide evacuation inhabitants. utilizes three types rules: general, family-related, specialized each type electronics. As there can often be operational...
Two important factors are related to haptic hand-motion perception: one factor is the sensations employed for perception and other person's initiative in hand movements. The following two considered representative sensation factor: proprioceptive that return physical states of joint rotations muscle activities with extension flexion cutaneous fingerpads. Since these primary secondary motion perception, we examined modes: (1) cutaneous-combined mode, “Co” (2) without-cutaneous “Pr”. former...
Introduction: From the late 1960s to present, physicians’ dress codes have been actively studied in Western countries. Until early 21st century, patients tended prefer a conservative style, such as “shirt and tie or skirt” with white coats for physicians. However, attitudes toward changed, knowledge regarding this issue needs be updated. A variety of colours scrubs are currently commonly used by medical professionals, but it is not known whether all acceptable patients. The current study...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> In the modern economy, shift work is prevalent in numerous occupations. However, often conflicts with workers’ circadian rhythm and can result sleep disorder (SWSD).

In the modern economy, shift work is prevalent in numerous occupations. However, it often disrupts workers' circadian rhythms and can result sleep disorder. Proper management of disorder involves comprehensive patient-specific strategies, some which are similar to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. Our goal was develop evaluate machine learning algorithms that predict physicians' advice using wearable survey data. We developed a web- app-based system provide individualized behavior...
Este artigo compara métodos de detecção facial sob variações iluminação, destacando o impacto da iluminação na precisão dos algoritmos reconhecimento facial. Foram analisados diferentes algoritmos, incluindo baseados em Haar-Cascaded, Redes Neurais Artificiais e também Histograma Gradientes Orientados. Os resultados indicam que, embora alguns apresentem bom desempenho condições variadas, outros mostram quedas significativas ambientes com pouca luz. A pesquisa contribui para entendimento das...
Activities of daily living, such as handwriting, eating and walking, are necessary activities for everyone. However, some individuals with a disability cannot perform because involuntary movements. It is particularly difficult to write writing involves very complex motions. We applied an adaptive movement attenuation filter handwriting support system. analyzed movements in patients cerebral palsy the adult tension athetosis type. selected parameters Adaptive Involuntary Behavior Attenuation...
Approximately half of the patients with spinal cord injuries in Japan have a cervical injury. Owing to trunk dysfunction, high-level particular difficulty when searching for or picking up objects from floor. Recently, welfare robot arms been developed help such individuals increase self-reliance. In this study, we propose an operating system that includes eye-in-hand touchscreen interface grasping floor and delivering them individual. proposed method, visual information target object is...
Shift work disrupts sleep and causes chronic stress, resulting in burnout syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, decreased personal accomplishment. Continuous biometric data collected through wearable devices contributes to mental health research. However, direct prediction of risk is still limited, interpreting machine learning (ML) models healthcare poses challenges. In this paper, we develop that utilize survey data, including rhythm features, predict among...
