Assistive Technologies in the Home
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2009 Assistive technologies are critical to elders maintaining independence in the home. Adequate assessment of the patient's needs, the appropriateness of the device to that need, and the patient's motivation to use of a device is required for successful outcomes. A team approach is needed to ensure that devices are correctly prescribed, and the patient is

An approach to the evaluation of assistive technology [PDF]
Proceedings of the second annual ACM conference on Assistive technologies - Assets '96, 1996 A valid criticism of may innovations in assistive technology is that they have not been evaluated. However, there are obstacles which make this form of technology difficult to evaluate according to conventional paradigms. The reasons behind this are discussed. A particular evaluation which endeavoured to circumvent those problems is described. The item

Classification of 41 Hand and Wrist Movements via Surface Electromyogram Using Deep Neural Network
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a non-invasive and straightforward way to allow the user to actively control the prosthesis. However, results reported by previous studies on using sEMG for hand and wrist movement classification vary by a large margin,

Technology-assisted dietary assessment [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2008 Dietary intake provides valuable insights for mounting intervention programs for prevention of disease. With growing concern for adolescent obesity, the need to accurately measure diet becomes imperative. Assessment among adolescents is problematic as this group has irregular eating patterns and have less enthusiasm for recording food intake ...
