The number of dismantling sites for buildings has been rapidly increased and these processes are very dangerous. So many research papers have been published addressing the development of a remote controller for the dismantling equipments. In this paper, a novel concept of applying tele-operated device is proposed for the remote control of excavator-like dismantling equipment. As a tele-operated...

AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the diagnostic capacity of tele-cervicography for the detection of cervical neoplasia as an adjunctive test with Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pap smear and tele-cervicography were performed on each subject. Histologic results were obtained for all patients. RESULTS Of the 863 females who had a tele-cervigram, 252 (29.2%) had a positive result....

This paper describes a concept for a behaviour-based integration of tele-operator commands into the control system of a mobile robot. The control system presented features different control modes which allow for pure tele-operation, assisted tele-operation, and fully autonomous navigation. It is explained how the tele-operator can influence the robot’s motion at any time and how he can simply a...

Tele-emergency services provide immediate and synchronous audio/video connections, most commonly between rural low-volume hospitals and an urban "hub" emergency department. We performed a systematic literature review to identify tele-emergency models and outcomes. We then studied a large tele-emergency service in the upper Midwest. We sent a user survey to all seventy-one hospitals that used th...

This paper presents the architecture and implementation of a tele-presence wheelchair system based on tele-presence robot, intelligent wheelchair, and touch screen technologies. The tele-presence wheelchair system consists of a commercial electric wheelchair, an add-on tele-presence interaction module, and a touchable live video image based user interface (called TIUI). The tele-presence intera...

The provision of mental health services via videoconferencing tele-mental health has become an increasingly routine component of mental health service delivery throughout the world. Emphasizing the research literature since 2003, we examine: 1) the extent to which the field of tele-mental health has advanced the research agenda previously suggested; and 2) implications for tele-mental health ca...

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted negatively on our society and resulted in numerous deaths. It had an effect on every facet of health-care delivery. Rules, regulations, and payment policies were changed to allow extensive use of telecommunications technology in lieu of in-person clinical visits to protect health care personnel and patients throughout the country from the risk of disease trans...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a post-operative telephone-based cognitive behavioral therapy intervention (Tele-CBT) in improving eating pathology and psychosocial functioning. METHODS Six-month post-operative bariatric surgery patients (n = 19) received six sessions of Tele-CBT. Study outcome variables included binge eating (BES), emotiona...
