Global prevalence increase of diabetes type 2 and gestational diabetes (GDM) has led to increased awareness and screening of pregnant women for GDM. Ideally screening for GDM should be done by an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT), which is laborious and time consuming. A randomized glucose test incorporated with anthropomorphic characteristics may be an appropriate cost-effective combined clin...

In its attempt to offer new ways into autonomy for a large population of disabled people, assistive technology has largely been inspired by robotics engineering. Recent human-like robots carry new hopes that it seems to us necessary to analyze by means of a specific theory of anthropomorphism. We propose to distinguish a functional anthropomorphism which is the one of actual wheelchairs from a ...

This paper addresses and resolves an interesting question concerning the reason for anthropomorphic user interface feedback being more effective (in two of three contexts) and preferred by users compared to an equivalent non-anthropomorphic feedback. Firstly the paper will summarise the author’s three internationally published experiments and results. These will show statistically significant r...

Introduction. Anthropomorphic robots may eventually occupy a special niche in medicine, performing physically demanding, as well emotionally monotonous work. As artificial intelligence is introduced, ARs will become more complex and their functions expand. Materials methods. For review on anthropomorphic robots, foreign Russian scientific publications were studied. It should be noted that the s...
