A machine learning method correlating pulse pressure wave data with pregnancy [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Pulse feeling, representing the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat, has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to diagnose various diseases. The quantitative relationship between the pulse wave and health conditions however has not been investigated in modern medicine.

Variable Stiffness & Dynamic Force Sensor for Tissue Palpation [PDF]

arXiv
Palpation of human tissue during Minimally Invasive Surgery is hampered due to restricted access. In this extended abstract, we present a variable stiffness and dynamic force range sensor that has the potential to address this challenge. The sensor utilises light reflection to estimate sensor deformation, and from this, the force applied.

Using Fiber Optic Bundles to Miniaturize Vision-Based Tactile Sensors [PDF]

arXiv
Vision-based tactile sensors have recently become popular due to their combination of low cost, very high spatial resolution, and ease of integration using widely available miniature cameras. The associated field of view and focal length, however, are difficult to package in a human-sized finger. In this paper we employ optical fiber bundles to achieve

Breast Lump Detection and Localization with a Tactile Glove Using Deep Learning [PDF]

arXiv
Breast cancer is the leading cause of mortality among women. Inspection of breasts by palpation is the key to early detection. We aim to create a wearable tactile glove that could localize the lump in breasts using deep learning (DL). In this work, we present our flexible fabric-based and soft wearable tactile glove for detecting the lumps within ...

A Calibration Approach for Elasticity Estimation with Medical Tools

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Soft tissue elasticity is directly related to different stages of diseases and can be used for tissue identification during minimally invasive procedures. By palpating a tissue with a robot in a minimally invasive fashion force-displacement curves can be
