Ambient Integrated Robotics: new approach for supporting elderly people with integrated technology in living environments

ISR 2010 (41st International Symposium on Robotics) and ROBOTIK 2010 (6th German Conference on Robotics), 2010

Stand-alone service robots are developing towards complementary and seamlessly integrated parts and/or subsystems of intelligent care environments. As use cases in those environments are a complex mixture of multiple geriatric requirements, multiple sets of technologies have to be fused with buildings and building components. The integration and fusion of robotic systems and sub-systems with our environments is likely to transform ...


Improving oral medication compliance with an electronic aid

IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 1997

Demographic trends indicate that populations in the U.S., Europe, and Japan are aging rapidly. As people age, they will seek more health-care services and ingest more oral medications. Poor compliance in taking medications is especially problematic in the elderly because of the changes in their metabolism, cognitive skills, and physical abilities. Simple devices, special packaging, and physical aids, while offering ...


A secure database for human specimen repositories

Proceedings of the 25th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37439), 2003

Secure storage and retrieval of ethically sensitive information about human samples presents a special problem for research groups and institutions. This problem is addressed by providing a randomized identification of samples, which can only be decoded by providing two passwords: one from the researcher, and one from an Ethics Committee (Institutional Review Board) representative.

  • Ambient Integrated Robotics: new approach for supporting elderly people with integrated technology in living environments

    Stand-alone service robots are developing towards complementary and seamlessly integrated parts and/or subsystems of intelligent care environments. As use cases in those environments are a complex mixture of multiple geriatric requirements, multiple sets of technologies have to be fused with buildings and building components. The integration and fusion of robotic systems and sub-systems with our environments is likely to transform performance and appearance of our buildings and everyday's artifacts, similar as done through the implementation of new materials as steel or plastics once before.

  • Improving oral medication compliance with an electronic aid

    Demographic trends indicate that populations in the U.S., Europe, and Japan are aging rapidly. As people age, they will seek more health-care services and ingest more oral medications. Poor compliance in taking medications is especially problematic in the elderly because of the changes in their metabolism, cognitive skills, and physical abilities. Simple devices, special packaging, and physical aids, while offering some improvement, do not appear able to answer this challenge. Drawbacks to such mechanical devices include their inability to accommodate multiple medications, their inability to remind patients when to take their medications, their inability to be easily reprogrammed for different dosage regimens, and their higher packaging costs. Electronic medication compliance dispensers, such as the MedMinder, appear to address many of these issues, but their true utility awaits definitive results from further development and clinical field trials.

The system has been implemented using an accelerometer, amplifier and microcomputer complete with a special-purpose data acquisition interface and appropriate software. Data are acquired in eight 8-s epochs at a sampling rate of 128 Hz for resting, modified postural, and postural arm positions and stored for offline analysis. The time information is transformed to the frequency domain using the fast Fourier transform, and the average power spectrum in bands 1-32 Hz is computed for the 64-s recording period. Hardware and software aspects of the system are discussed and the results are briefly summarized.<<ETX>>

  • Particularities of monitoring elderly patients with cardiac procedures

    The aim of our study was to assess the correlations between different cardiac procedures on groups of age. Material and method: A group of 64 patients (age > 65 years old) with history of cardiac procedure was divided in three Age Groups. Demographic data, medical history, type of intervention and geriatric assessment were analyzed in accordance with each Age Group. Results: Most of the procedures were performed in patients aged over 75. The type of intervention showed strong statistically significance in correlation with the Age Groups, but poorly represented related to gender and home background. Geriatric evaluation showed important evidence of malnutrition and depression, partially correlated with age (p<;0.01). Conclusions: The correlation between our data provide useful information about the most common type of cardiac procedure in elderly, show the most frequent causes and provides feedback regarding the quality of life after intervention.

Conclusion: It is helpful and timesaving for researcher or doctor to understand the research hotspots in geriatric nurse.

  • Health Capital Depreciation and Medical Care Demand: An Empirical Study of Taiwan's Senior Citizens

    This research aims at studying health capital depreciation of senior citizens and their corresponding medical care demand. Qualitative response models are constructed, followed by empirical studies. Data is collected from inpatients of Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology at Taichung Veterans General Hospital from 2008 to 2012. All test subjects are under comprehensive geriatric assessment to characterize levels of health capital depreciation. Medical care demand is defined by length of hospital stay.

  • The NAO models for the elderly

    This paper highlights initial observations from a user study performed in an assisted living facility in Spain. We introduced the NAO robot to assist in geriatric physiotherapy rehabilitation. The NAO is introduced in order to take over one of the usual roles of the physiotherapist: modeling movements for the inpatients. We also introduced a virtual version of the NAO in order to see whether this role of modeling is equally effective in a screen-based modality. Preliminary results show the inpatients adjust their movements to the NAO, although they react differently to the virtual and the physical robot.

  • PC-based rehabilitation tool for the elderly

    The elderly can sometimes find rehabilitation training to be very boring, but if the participants are motivated or having fun, they will continue to exercise. Prevention is the most important issue for health care insurance in Japan, and since suitable training will improve the quality of life, we developed personal computer (PC)-based rehabilitation tools to help the elderly maintain balance and muscle strength. After using the balance-training device, the subjects were able to keep better balance, and the muscle-training device resulted in an energy expenditure of around 2 METs fewer than walking. The results indicate that PC-based rehabilitation tools are effective for maintaining physical exercise.

  • Evaluation by accelerometry of walking pattern before falls in hemiplegic patients

    Hemiplegic patients often fall because of a lack of balance-during walking. They can become bed-ridden, or suffer failing syndrome after falling. The aim of this study was to evaluate the walking pattern just prior to falls among high-risk patients in a rehabilitation setting. A triaxial accelerometer was fixed to the subject's waist, and the triaxial acceleration signals were recorded. Thirty-one subjects walked down a corridor under supervision. The data were digitized at a sampling rate of 200 Hz, and analysed using a discrete wavelet transform. The variables required to evaluate falls were related to the reconstructed signal at level -3. We classified falls into three types. In Type 1 falls, the impact acceleration signals in the vertical direction were larger in walking just prior to a fall. In Type 2 falls, small impact acceleration signals in the vertical direction were observed. In Type 3 falls, the walking cycle changed irregularly just prior to a fall and the impact acceleration was larger and smaller before the fall. From these results, falls were evaluated. The next step will be predicting falls.
