In the medical field, there are several very different movement disorders, such as tremors, Parkinson’s disease, or Huntington’s disease. A wide range of motor and non-motor symptoms characterizes them. It is evident that in modern era, use smart wrist devices, smartwatches, wristbands, bracelets spreading among all categories people. This diffusion justified by limited costs, ease use, less invasiveness (and consequently greater acceptability) than other types sensors used for health status monitoring. systematic review aims to synthesize research studies using devices a specific class disorders. Following PRISMA-S guidelines, 130 were selected analyzed. For each study, information provided relating smartwatch/wristband/bracelet model (whether it commercial not), number end-users involved experimentation stage, finally characteristics benchmark dataset possibly testing. Moreover, some articles also reported type raw data extracted from device, implemented designed algorithmic pipeline, classification methodology. turned out most have been published last ten years, showing growing interest scientific community. The mainly investigate relationship between Epilepsy seizure detection topics interest, while few papers analyzing gait Disease, ataxia, Tourette Syndrome. However, results this highlight difficulties still present identified despite advantages these technologies could bring dissemination low-cost solutions usable directly within living environments without need caregivers personnel.

Smart Detecting and Versatile Wearable Electrical Sensing Mediums for Healthcare

Sensors, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 23(14), С. 6586 - 6586

Опубликована: Июль 21, 2023

A rapidly expanding global population and a sizeable portion of it that is aging are the main causes significant increase in healthcare costs. Healthcare terms monitoring systems undergoing radical changes, making possible to gauge or monitor health conditions people constantly, while also removing some minor possibilities going hospital. The development automated devices either attached organs skin, continually human activity, has been made feasible by advancements sensor technologies, embedded systems, wireless communication nanotechnologies, miniaturization being ultra-thin, lightweight, highly flexible, stretchable. Wearable sensors track physiological signs together with other symptoms such as respiration, pulse, gait pattern, etc., spot unusual unexpected events. Help may therefore be provided when required. In this study, wearable sensor-based activity-monitoring for reviewed, along problems need overcome. review, we have shown smart detecting versatile electrical sensing mediums healthcare. We compiled piezoelectric-, electrostatic-, thermoelectric-based their working mechanisms, principles, keeping view different medical discussion on application these biosensors health. comparison between three types energy-harvesting sensors: output performance. Finally, provide future outlook current challenges opportunities.

A Systematic Review of Machine Learning and IoT Applied to the Prediction and Monitoring of Cardiovascular Diseases

Healthcare, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11(16), С. 2240 - 2240

Опубликована: Авг. 9, 2023

According to the Pan American Health Organization, cardiovascular disease is leading cause of death worldwide, claiming an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. This paper presents a systematic review highlight use IoT, IoMT, and machine learning detect, predict, or monitor disease. We had final sample 164 high-impact journal papers, focusing on two categories: detection using IoT/IoMT technologies techniques. For first category, we found 82 proposals, while for second, 85 proposals. The research highlights list technologies, techniques, datasets, most discussed diseases. Neural networks have been popularly used, achieving accuracy over 90%, followed by random forest, XGBoost, k-NN, SVM. Based results, conclude that can predict diseases in real time, ensemble techniques obtained one best performances metric, hypertension arrhythmia were Finally, identified lack public data as main obstacles approaches prediction.

A Critical Review on Factors Affecting the User Adoption of Wearable and Soft Robotics

Sensors, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 23(6), С. 3263 - 3263

Опубликована: Март 20, 2023

In recent years, the advent of soft robotics has changed landscape wearable technologies. Soft robots are highly compliant and malleable, thus ensuring safe human-machine interactions. To date, a wide variety actuation mechanisms have been studied adopted into multitude wearables for use in clinical practice, such as assistive devices rehabilitation modalities. Much research effort put improving their technical performance establishing ideal indications which rigid exoskeletons would play limited role. However, despite having achieved many feats over past decade, technologies not extensively investigated from perspective user adoption. Most scholarly reviews focused on service providers developers, manufacturers, or clinicians, but few scrutinized factors affecting adoption experience. Hence, this pose good opportunity to gain insight current practice user’s perspective. This review aims provide broad overview different types identify that hinder robotics. paper, systematic literature search using terms “soft”, “robot”, “wearable”, “exoskeleton” was conducted according PRISMA guidelines include peer-reviewed publications between 2012 2022. The were classified motor-driven tendon cables, pneumatics, hydraulics, shape memory alloys, polyvinyl chloride muscles, pros cons discussed. identified design, availability materials, durability, modeling control, artificial intelligence augmentation, standardized evaluation criteria, public perception related perceived utility, ease use, aesthetics. critical areas improvement future directions increase also highlighted.

eHealth devices, including smartwatches and smart scales, have the potential to transform health care by enabling continuous, real-time monitoring of vital signs over extended periods. Existing technologies, however, lack comprehensive microvascular network, which is linked conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, small vessel diseases. This study introduces an ultrasound approach using a capacitive micromachined transducer row-column array for ultrasensitive three-dimensional (3D) Doppler imaging changes hemodynamic variations or vascular remodeling. In vitro tests in vivo studies with healthy volunteers demonstrated sensor’s ability image 3D network at high resolution different timescales automatic registration detect sensitivity. Integrating this technology into wearable devices could, one day, enhance understanding, monitoring, possibly early detection microvascular-related conditions.
