AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.Distribution of KAP scores for participants ≤ 65 versus > 65 years. ABSTRACT Objectives Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common clinical arrhythmia. Failure to identify AF leaves patients at a considerably higher risk of disability and death, making its early screening and prevention extremely important. This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitude,

Design, Modeling, and Control of a Soft Robotic Diaphragm‐Assist Device in a Respiratory Simulator
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.A soft robotic diaphragm‐assist device using fabric‐based pneumatic actuators with a 2‐step control system to optimize synchronization and support is introduced. This system can detect the initiation of breathing to trigger assistance and regulate pressures to provide the correct level of inhalation augmentation. Validation and testing are completed on

E‐CAD: Electroactive Polymer‐Based Cardiac Assist Device with Low Power Consumption
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Conventional cardiac assist devices often require high power, involve direct blood contact, and risk driveline infections. This work presents a soft electroactive polymer‐based system that compresses the heart externally while consuming <0.3 W. With no blood contact, a 0.3 mm driveline, and a compact design, E‐CAD demonstrates enhanced output and ...
