The sys-tem is an elbow exoskeleton that can be controlled based on elbow rotation angle and angular velocity. The system also equipped with wireless communication to give therapists an ability to determine the trajectory of motor movement patterns and speed. For speed control, therapists need to input Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) value by Android application that conducts 100% accuracy to communicate the PWM value to microcontroller through bluetooth connection. INA226 sensor used by the system for measuring current value in order to detect the voluntary movement that occured in subject's arm. Proportional Integral Derivative control (PID) used in order to achieve a predetermined trajectory value and maintain the Rotation per Minute (RPM) of the DC motor. As a result, the system can reach the target for fulfill 120-degree movement with 83.3% accuracy with passive hand and 100% accuracy with active arm condition. The measure of the sensor is used to analyze the rehabilitation process quantitatively and determine future treatment. This method expected can help patients to get intensive rehabilitation and make it easier for therapists to evaluate and rehabilitate patients.","PeriodicalId":286026,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Bio-Engineering for Smart Technologies (BioSMART)","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133138350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, force feedback does not provide intuitive guidance feedback regarding state of a virtual object grasping. To address this issue, we developed vibrotactile feedback interface to provide more intuitive way of guidance feedback for a virtual grasping task. This initial study began by implementing haptic driver circuit to drive two different types of haptic actuators, linear resonant motors (LRMs) and coin brushless motors (CBMs), with AD9850 signal generator that uses advanced direct digital synthesis (DDS) theory and L298N (H-bridge motor driver). Based on a pilot study, we determined identifiable frequencies and amplitudes for LRMs and pulse width modulation (PWM) for CBMs to design vibrotactile patterns with haptic actuators and adequate intensity of a haptic glove force. With five conditions, four vibrotactile feedback conditions with two vibration patterns and one force feedback condition with the haptic glove, we focused on which conditions provide more intuitive guidance feedback when grasping the virtual eggshell without breaking. From both quantitative and qualitative results, the results demonstrated that vibrotactile feedback provides more intuitive guidance feedback than force feedback in the virtual grasping task.","PeriodicalId":286026,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference on Bio-Engineering for Smart Technologies (BioSMART)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130140894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this project, a Machine Learning algorithm was developed to predict intensive care needs for patients in the early stage of Covid-19. An advanced convolutional neural network (CNN) model was trained for image classification based on patient chest x-rays. After studying and comparing the performance of several advanced models, including Inception V3,ResNet50, Xception, EfficientNetB0, EfficientNetB7 and VGG16, It is identified that Inception V3showed the highest accuracy of the prediction. Based on Inception V3,an algorithm that demonstrates the highest accuracy of over 99% on both validation and testing datasets has been developed.

Histological analysis of H&E and P63 stained images is performed manually by a pathologist in current medical practices. This process is tiresome and requires specialized skills. The primary factor that the process is manual is that P63 staining is a new technique, which has been developed recently. The second factor is the lack of an available dataset in the recent past. We present an automatic system for laryngeal cancer lesion segmentation in H&E and p63 stained images. The proposed method is an encoder-decoder-based UNet++.
