Urine-related information, such as voided volume and flow rate, is important for the diagnosis of dysuria. Uroflowmeters, which are used for obtaining urine information, measure ma...

We investigated a system identification method for modeling the standing posture without external perturbation. Assuming that postural sway during quiet standing is caused by inter...

Surgical cameras and endoscopes provide important imaging information about a patient's anatomy and pathology, but most of the data are limited to 2D textured representations of vi...

To realize real-time image registration between preoperative three-dimensional ultrasound images and an intraoperative two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound image, accurate image extract...

Mindfulness (MF) is a type of meditation, the purpose of which is to free the mind from anxiety about the future and regrets about the past. Usually with MF, a person counts the nu...

The development of data measurement and pattern recognition modules using wearable sensing technology and deep-learning models has encouraged the realization of daily and long-term...

Regenerative medicine involves the regeneration and repair of cells, tissues, and organs to restore health. To meet the requirements of clinical applications, it is necessary to co...

Humanlike text-to-speech synthesis has not yet been achieved using machines. Reading speed is a critical parameter determining natural prosody and is used to assess the quality of ...

The experience referred to as “flow” is characterized by complete immersion in an activity and achievement of excellent performance. Thus far, methods for assessing the intensity o...

We propose data augmentation using fractal images to train deep learning models for medical image diagnosis. Deep learning models for image classification typically demand large da...

The effects of the region-specific material properties of the patellar tendon (PT) on the magnitude and distribution of local stress and strain are poorly understood. Hence, this s...

To achieve low-energy defibrillation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) and fibrillation (VF), an experimental system is essential to investigate appropriate point stimulation protoc...

This study evaluated the validity of using pulse rate variability (PRV) obtained from green light photoplethysmography (PPG) as an alternative index of heart rate variability (HRV)...

The utilization of calcium chloride (CaCl2) pre-crosslinking in gelatin-alginate ink holds promise for creating printable ink formulations that exhibit good printability and do not...

Tracheal suction plays an indispensable role in artificial respiration management. However, we speculate that frequent suctioning with excessive negative pressure may result in acu...

The ventricular assist device (VAD) provides supports for cardiac function and is used in the long term by many patients on the heart transplant waiting list. Thus, during VAD oper...

To achieve accurate heart rate variability (HRV) analysis using wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) recording devices under daily life environment, ideally all erroneous R-R intervals...

The establishment of ideal management for unstable distal clavicular fractures remains a subject of active discussion, and the topic of distal clavicular fragment management is rar...

Monitoring heartbeat and respiration can help estimate the sleep state throughout the night. Here, we developed a simple method for detecting the heart rate (HR) and respiratory ra...

A scale-type uroflowmeter designed specifically for male standing urination has been developed. While several uroflowmeters exist, most require the voided urine to come into contac...
