Adverse and suboptimal health behaviors habits are responsible for approximately 40 % of preventable deaths, in addition to their unfavorable effects on quality life economics. Our current understanding human behavior is largely based static "snapshots" behavior, rather than ongoing, dynamic feedback loops response ever-changing biological, social, personal, environmental states. This paper first discusses how new technologies (i.e., mobile sensors, smartphones, ubiquitous computing,...
Social robots have the potential to provide support in a number of practical domains, such as learning and behaviour change. This is particularly relevant for children, who proven receptive interactions with social robots. To reach therapeutic goals, issues need be investigated, notably design an effective child-robot interaction (cHRI) ensure child remains engaged relationship that educational goals are met. Typically, current cHRI research experiments focus on single type activity (e.g....
The introduction of robotic surgery within the operating rooms has significantly improved quality many surgical procedures. Recently, research on medical systems focused increasing level autonomy in order to give them possibility carry out simple actions autonomously. This paper reports development technologies for introducing automation workflow. results have been obtained during ongoing FP7 European funded project Intelligent Surgical Robotics (I-SUR). main goal is demonstrate that...
Robotic companions offer a unique combination of embodiment and computation which open many new interesting opportunities in the field pediatric care. As these technologies are developed, we must consider central research questions how such systems should be designed what appropriate applications for are. In this paper present Huggable, robotic companion form factor teddy bear outline series studies planning to run using Huggable care unit.
This work presents preliminary observations from a study of children (N=19, age 5-12) interacting in multiple sessions with humanoid robot scenario involving game activities. The main purpose the was to see how their perception robot, engagement, and enjoyment as companion evolve across interactions, separated by one-two weeks. However, an interesting phenomenon observed during experiment: most soon adapted behaviors terms speech timing, speed tone, verbal input formulation, nodding,...

The internal transport of medical goods in a hospital heavily relies on human resources that carry the materials foot. Such mode may be affected by inefficiencies, e.g., due to bottlenecks, and other logistic challenges. Thus, it benefit from use unmanned aircraft systems several aspects. scenario introduces specific criticalities for healthcare organizations densely populated areas below congested airspace, such as Milan metropolitan area. authors applied co-creation methodology design...
Hospitalization can be an extremely distressful experience, especially for children. Healthcare institutions are striving to create hospital environments that respond patient needs and promote their well-being recovery. The San Raffaele Scientific Institute of Milan has embraced this challenge through its eServices Life Health unit is ideate, develop deploy in City the Future Living Lab, which truly meet user foster innovation. In such a context, Interactive Totem been placed paediatric ward...
This paper describes an application of authorization and access control based on the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) method integrated in a comprehensive trust infrastructure health care application. The is applied to business process that involves multiple actors accessing data resources needed for performing clinical logistics tasks notion constituency introduced as concept describing context authorisation. In addition, RBAC covers time constraints, hierarchies multi-level rules coping...
The paper describes a design specification process for the development of novel and intelligent surgical robots. Nowadays, robots are usually controlled by surgeons manually using teleoperation. possibility to carry out simple actions automatically has been subject academical research, but very few real-world applications exist. main objective this research is address realistic case studies develop systems methods provide with autonomous robotic assistants, performing basic combining...
This study contribute toward the creation of social robots as personal and public assistants. The ability robot to persuade motivate people follow a given behavior is particular relevance in several cases, especially those related people's health recover maintenance (e.g., trainer, diet coach, etc.). In this paper, we evaluated effect humanoid robot's use verbal bodily features behaviors motivating 80 children (age: 8–9 years old) following healthier lifestyles (namely eat more fruit...
Being a child with diabetes is challenging: apart from the emotional difficulties of dealing disease, there are multiple physical aspects that need to be dealt on daily basis. Furthermore, as children grow older, it becomes necessary self-manage their condition without explicit supervision parents or carers. This process requires overcome steep learning curve. Previous work hypothesized robot could provide supporting role in this process. In paper, we characterise potential support greater...
Dexterity and perception capabilities of surgical robots may soon be improved by cognitive functions that can support surgeons in decision making performance monitoring, enhance the impact automation within operating rooms. Nowadays, basic elements autonomy robotic surgery are still not well understood their mutual interaction is unexplored. Current classification encompasses six levels: Level 0: no autonomy; 1: robot assistance; 2: task 3: conditional 4: high autonomy. 5: full The practical...
This work describes the requirements that a robotic companion should have in order to properly provide support diabetic children, hospital department. The paper will briefly introduce all different needs child might have, and difficulties she faces discovery management of disease. Starting from literature both on Animal Assisted Therapies (AAT) companions, try outline which are possible objectives "robot assisted therapy" for young patients, where robot aim at reducing child's stress...
The aim of this study was observing and improving children's eating habits through an edutainment technological platform. A single-group education intervention carried out in primary schools Parma Milano, Italy. total 76 children (32 females 44 males, 8-10 years old) were involved a 3-month nutritional program including lessons educational videogames. Intakes fruits, vegetables, juices dietary antioxidant capacity (TAC) measured using 3-day food diaries before after the intervention. daily...
This paper presents the results from an experiment with a conversational human-robot interaction system aimed at long-term support for diabetic children. The offers set of activities to help child improve its capability manage diabetes. There is large body literature on techniques that artificial agents can use establish and maintain social-emotional relationships their users. novel aspect in present study inclusion off-activity talk interspersed within pertaining activity hand elicit...
Nowadays Robotic assisted Minimally Invasive Surgeries (R-MIS) are the elective procedures for treating highly accurate and scarcely invasive pathologies, thanks to their ability empower surgeons' dexterity skills. The research on new Multi-Robots Surgery (MRS) platform is cardinal development of a SARAS surgical robotic platform, which aims at carrying out autonomously assistants tasks during R-MIS procedures. In this work, we will present MRS validation protocol, framed in order assess:...
