Background Due to the Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) related social distancing measures and health service suspension, physical activity has declined, leading increased falling risk disability, consequently, compromising older adult health. How improve quality of life become a crucial issue. Objective In traditional rehabilitation, manual repetitive muscle training cannot identify patient’s ...

This paper addresses a wearable master device for physically handicapped persons whose arms are disabled. Optical fiber curvature sensors are used to measure the human body motion. For the developed wearable master device, a calibration and mapping method of the sensors is proposed to extract 2-DOF human shoulder motions. An experiment shows that the wearable master device can be used for a 2-D...

the endeavor of this research is to design and build a portable assistive device for narcolepsy patients to help them have more comfortable and productive life. A narcoleptic person suffers from a brain disorder that causes uncontrolled sleepiness. The device provides real time monitoring and assessment of the patient’s sleep and alertness conditions round the clock. An artificial intelligence ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is the promising non-invasive technique for brain-computer interface (BCI) for brain signal acquisition. Wearable multi-channel fNIRS devices that can provide much comport for applications and researches are commercially available in the market recently. In this study, we research possibility of the wearable multi-channel fNIRS device by evaluating ...

A Wearable Electromyography device includes the advantage of Electromyography (EMG) sensors and provides a wired or wireless human machine interface (HMI) for interacting with computing systems and attached devices associated with electrical signals generated by specific movement of the patient’s muscles. Following initial automated self-calibration and positional localization processes, measur...

Thanks to the diffusion of wearable devices there are several indoor tracking systems. Among them, RF-based have been deeply studied for their flexibility and limited costs. These systems can be employed as assistive tools only being dependable, identifying faults. We propose two methods to provide multiuser tracking with concurrent localization of natural hardware and human-made faults. The fi...

The goal of this project is to develop a portable structured light scanner which can capture the 3D structure of arbitrarily warped printed text and then rectify it. The resulting rectified text can then be sent to a standard OCR engine for recognition and layout analysis. The rectified image of the text can also be used as a reference image for non-rigid surface detection. Pairing non-rigid su...
