Dietary recommendation systems are advanced tools designed to assist individuals in making well-informed and health-conscious decisions on their food choices, taking into account their personal needs, preferences, and health targets or habits. In this study, we present an AI-based mobile app for harmonizing individuals' dietary choices with the pattern of the Mediterranean diet. A combination of computer vision, natural language processing, machine learning, and reinforcement techniques are used to record the nutritional information via images or speech and to generate dynamic recommendations tailored to the user's performance across key nutritional areas, encompassing calories, combined fats, proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, dietary fibers, sodium intake, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. The image-based dietary assessment subsystem achieves a mean absolute percentage error of 3.73%, while the reinforcement learning subsystem achieves a 96% average reward. Then, a well-designed approach was taken to develop the MedDietAgent mobile app, using cutting-edge technologies and applying a simplistic approach. One of the key aspects of MedDietAgent is its ability to offer dynamic recommendations by monitoring the user's environment.","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

Visual in-context learning (ICL) is a new and exciting area of research in computer vision. Unlike conventional deep learning, ICL emphasizes the model's ability to adapt to new tasks based on given examples quickly. Inspired by MAE-VQGAN, we proposed a new simple visual ICL method called SimICL, combining visual ICL pairing images with masked image modeling (MIM) designed for self-supervised learning. We validated our method on bony structures segmentation in a wrist ultrasound (US) dataset with limited annotations, where the clinical objective was to segment bony structures to help with further fracture detection. We used a test set containing 3822 images from 18 patients for bony region segmentation. SimICL achieved an remarkably high Dice coeffient (DC) of 0.96 and Jaccard Index (IoU) of 0.92, surpassing state-of-the-art segmentation and visual ICL models (a maximum DC 0.86 and IoU 0.76), with SimICL DC and IoU increasing by at least 0.10 and 0.16 respectively. This remarkably high agreement with limited manual annotations indicates SimICL could be used for training AI models even on small US datasets. This could dramatically decrease the human expert time required for image labeling compared to conventional approaches, and enhance the real-world use of AI assistance in US image analysis.","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

Many commercial robotic assistance systems are available for the aforementioned procedures. However, there is only limited literature on robotic spinal injection and needle delivery. Moreover, there is no robotic system that is commercially available for assisting surgeons in spinal injections and needle placement. To address this gap, we developed a robotic system that can provide stereotactic assistance to the surgeon for administering spinal injections and needles. The system utilizes a commercially available collaborative manipulator and a stereoscopic navigation system. A robot motion planner was developed to impart collision avoidance capabilities and make the manipulator adept for the surgical setting. A clinical phantom study was conducted to validate the overall system performance and accuracy. 60 different needle plans were targeted on the lumbar region by expert surgeons and executed through the proposed system. A mean target point error of 1.02 mm with a standard deviation of 0.5 mm was achieved. The observations and results obtained through the study show that the proposed robotic guidance system can be of potential aid in accomplishing accurate spinal needle and injection delivery.","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

The main goals of our research included two primary components: first, to identify ROIs, and second, to determine the appropriate number of stimulus samples needed to achieve a meaningful level of reliability. To estimate this number of measurement repetitions we performed step-wise sub-sampling combined with permutation testing. This involved a detailed comparison of event-related potentials resp. fields (ERPs, ERFs) elicited by auditory stimuli such as acoustic clicks and continuous speech. Our results show that active EEG outperformed passive EEG and MEG in sensor space. However, MEG demonstrated superior signal localization in source space. These results also highlight the complexity of developing real-time speech BCIs.","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

This study introduces METAVEST, a lightweight and energy-efficient PCS comprising a cooling unit and a biomimetic vest. It utilizes Galinstan as the primary coolant and ice as the secondary coolant. The Galinstan circulates through tubing attached to the vest, absorbing body heat and cooling via tubing embedded in an insulated cold pack with ice. This study focuses on designing a cooling vest tubing network, which draws inspiration from human heart capillaries for efficient heat transfer. Rectangular-shaped thermally conductive tubing is fabricated and characterized for efficient heat transfer from the body, and its flow resistance and heat transfer characteristics are compared with circular tubing. Additionally, a network of tubing and a prototype vest has been developed to mitigate heat risks for industry workers in hot conditions, ensuring their safety and improving performance by addressing heat-related challenges.","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

We propose a novel fast and objective deep learning model to identify patients with iRBD based on their sleep structure. A total of 86 iRBD and 81 controls, who underwent PSG, were included in the study. A validated algorithm was used to generate hypnodensity graphs (i.e., probabilistic representations of sleep structure). A ResNet-18 model was trained on five datasets consisting of whole night hypnodensities (with and without augmentation), and shorter segments (4 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes) to discriminate iRBD from controls. Using entire-night hypnodensity had notable benefits in terms of performance compared to shorter length segments, leading to a mean macro F1 score of 0.717 (per-segment), and of 0.784 (per-subject). Our findings show that sleep structure is important for iRBD classification and could potentially help clinicians.","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

Recent graph-based techniques involve dividing whole slide images (WSIs) into smaller or medium-sized patches, and then building graphs on each patch for direct use in training. This method, however, fails to capture the tissue structure information present in an entire WSI and relies on training from a significantly large dataset of image patches. In this paper, we propose a novel cell-to-patch graph convolutional network (C2P-GCN), which is a two-stage graph formation-based approach. In the first stage, it forms a patch-level graph based on the cell organization on each patch of a WSI. In the second stage, it forms an image-level graph based on a similarity measure between patches of a WSI considering each patch as a node of a graph. This graph representation is then fed into a multi-layer GCN-based classification network. Our approach, through its dual-phase graph construction, effectively gathers local structural details from individual patches and establishes a meaningful connection among all patches across a WSI. As C2P-GCN integrates the structural data of an entire WSI into a single graph, it allows our model to work with significantly fewer training data compared to the latest models for colorectal cancer. Experimental validation of C2P-GCN on two distinct colorectal cancer datasets demonstrates the effectiveness of our method.","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

However, these symptoms are often ignored due to their subtlety. This study aimed to quantify the atypical gait pattern in ASD and explore the feasibility of a gait-based method for ASD recognition. Firstly, we collected natural walking videos from 38 ASD children and 30 health control (HC) children, then extracted gait kinematic parameters using a skeleton model, including joint swing angle and amplitude features, to analyze subtle changes among ASD children. Subsequently, the potential correlation of these features with the clinical severity of ASD was analyzed, and several machine learning models were constructed for recognition. The results showed, compared to HC group, ASD group had a significant decrease in step length, speed, leg swing angle and coordination, along with a significant increase in head angle. Moreover, significant correlations were observed between these features and both Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) and Clancy Autism Behavior Scale scores, except for the coordination, which only exhibited significant correlation with ABC score. For recognition, the Random Forests achieved the best recognition performance with an accuracy of 0.84 and an F1 score of 0.86. Overall, this study reveals the atypical gait pattern of ASD children, and proposes a novel gait-based recognition model for future auxiliary evaluation.","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.
