With the growing ageing population, an urgent need for the development of fall detection systems is inevitable. Fall detection and monitoring is an active field of research, so this work used available research advances and public datasets as a launch pad for a senior-year design project. There were two main goals in this work, to develop a fall detection algorithm and to build a wearable fall detection device. A public dataset was used to test the performance of this threshold-based classification. The developed algorithm had 86.95% sensitivity, 96.08% specificity and 90.83% accuracy. The chosen thresholds were later programmed into the embedded hardware. This fall detection device employed ADXL345 accelerometer, ITG3200 gyroscope and ESP8266 and all components were fitted into a 3D printed case as a wearable belt buckle. The detector monitors the elder’s normal and abnormal movements through the embedded algorithm. In the event of fall, the alarm will turn on, to attract attention and help from people nearby as well as an Internet-based notification message being sent to family members and/or caregivers through the Wi-Fi connection. In case of a false alarm, this device was equipped with a decision delay, a posture verification and a button to switch off the alert.","PeriodicalId":380002,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th Biomedical Engineering International Conference (BMEiCON)","volume":"13 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120855898","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}

The surface plasmon resonance has also been utilized in food safety screening, including Escherichia coli and Salmonella detection. The theory of surface plasmon resonance has been well established and demonstrated its ultra-sensitivity to detect small nucleotides, proteins, and molecules. However, the results, so far, for the E.coli detection under the surface plasmon resonance have not shown an impressive detection limit. The typical detection limit of $E. c o l i$ under the conventional surface plasmon detection platform is around $10^{3} mathrm{CFU} / mathrm{ml}$. The detection limit can be enhanced using a secondary binding agent to E.coli, including conjugated nanoparticles. Here, we propose a theoretical framework using effective refractive index theory to explain the detection mechanism and give an insight into the underlining obstacles that degrades the detection limit of the surface plasmon resonance.","PeriodicalId":380002,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th Biomedical Engineering International Conference (BMEiCON)","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128171431","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}

A patient must walk the longest distance possible within 6 minutes while a physician will record the related data during the session for interpretation afterward. The walking sessions are usually done in medical institutions with prepared equipment and location. Therefore, performing the 6MWT at home either by the patients themselves or during home visits is cumbersome. Accordingly, to expand this limitation, ideas of performing the outdoor 6MWT have been proposed. This article introduced Walkaholic, an internet-of-things (IoT) - based 6MWT platform. The platform works as a combination of a portable device, cloud storage, and software application. This development aims to provide services, such as timing, data recording, and visualization as a tool for further studies and investigations of the outdoor 6MWT. The data, including GPS coordinates, pulse rate (PR), blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), and perfusion index (PI), are recorded during sessions of the outdoor 6MWT and sent to the cloud storage server. The software application allows physicians to access the recorded data remotely. Additional data, for instance, 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), walking speed, and acceleration, can be calculated as outcomes of the recorded data that give the physicians more information for accurately interpreting the results of the outdoor 6MWT.","PeriodicalId":380002,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th Biomedical Engineering International Conference (BMEiCON)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114233646","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}

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lateral stability inside a rigid ankle-foot orthosis and lateral shoe modification with a traditional rigid ankle-foot orthosis on stability and fall risk in hemiparetic stroke patients. Four post-stroke patients participated and static and dynamic stability under three conditions were evaluated: lateral stability inside a rigid anklefoot orthosis, rigid ankle-foot orthosis with addition of shoe modification with lateral heel flare, and barefoot. Both interventions with traditional ankle-foot orthosis provided stability in static but not dynamic function. Use of this lateral stabilization technique inside a rigid ankle-foot orthosis user can increase static stability. Future investigations in free-living settings must be performed.","PeriodicalId":380002,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th Biomedical Engineering International Conference (BMEiCON)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114676411","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}

This raises the question of whether high frequencies and constant exposure to nonparticulate radiation (EMF) radiation have a negative impact on human health. Some scientists believe that these waves don't cause effects on the physical body. In this paper, simulation was done by using MATLAB R2019a. To do this simulation the tissues were divided into 5 groups according to the type of tissues which are nerve, connective, epithelial and muscle tissues. The specific absorption rate (SAR) and power density (PD) in different frequencies (20, 30, 40, 60,70,S0,100 GHZ) for more than 40 tissues are calculated. The comparison is done with other researches which have used the same techniques but most of these papers used the effect of the above frequencies on two or three tissues. In this paper, about 40 types of tissue are used for the simulation, and the simulation results show that the nerve tissues are the most affected tissue.","PeriodicalId":380002,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th Biomedical Engineering International Conference (BMEiCON)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131777717","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}

The goal was to build a basic CPM machine such that the IoT-upgraded version could be controlled by a smart phone, collect, transfer and store physical therapy data on the network. A simplified model of CPM ma-chine was built to serve such a purpose. A user interface was created via a smart phone application for the user to set up a basic operation of the CPM machine. This application communicated with a microcontroller that regulated the mechanical movement via the motor driver. The axial movement was operated through a gear box that converted torque to the push-and-pull operation according to the designed speed. Once the thigh and calf support completed a cycle movement, a limitswitch was activated and then a control signal was sent to initiate the data transferred through the Internet. The data were stored in the Google Sheets platform. The utilization of an IoT technology and a smart phone based user-interface was proven to be successful in satisfying the primary goals and objectives.","PeriodicalId":380002,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th Biomedical Engineering International Conference (BMEiCON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130883673","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}

We had two types of single task that are single task of Go/NoGo Task, single task of Target Tracking Task. In multitask, we did both of these tasks. We checked and compare Event Related Potential (ERP) of suc-cess and failure of Go/NoGo task in single task and multitask. We could see tendency of difference of ERP pattern between success and failure in single task. The ERP in single task results showed that the Go task had a delay in the positive peak time at the time of failure compared to the time at which it succeeded. This is thought to indicate that the response to the stimulus and the re-sponse were delayed, and it is thought that this was caused by the failure due to the delay in noticing or overlooking the color change. On the other hands, in success of Go task, we could see positive correlation of reaction time and P300 and N200 peak time. It can be considered that the individual difference in the speed of responding to the stimulus is likely to be smaller than the differ-ence in the speed of noticing the stimulus.","PeriodicalId":380002,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th Biomedical Engineering International Conference (BMEiCON)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114075491","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}
