Virtual Organisations (VOs) that overcome the limitations of physical organisations are anticipated to play a vital role in facilitating large scale resource sharing and dynamic collaboration. The privacy of a VO’s members is one of the major concerns, which may hinder the advance of this promising technology. This paper focuses on a privacy issue that arises when users send security-sensitive ...

We have developed a device called AutoCITE (Automated Constraint-Induced Therapy Extension) that automates the intensive training component of constraint-induced (CI) movement therapy, also known as CI therapy. This study evaluated the effectiveness of AutoCITE training in a telerehabilitation setting when supervised remotely and with only intermittent interaction with a therapist. Seven partic...

Biometric signatures of remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), including the pulse-induced characteristic color absorptions and pulse frequency range, have been used to design robust algorithms for extracting the pulse-signal from a video. In this paper, we look into a new biometric signature, i.e., the relative pulsatile amplitude, and use it to design a very effective yet computationally low-cos...

Objective: This research was aimed at determining hotspots and major topics in the field of international home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) over past 20 years, exploring future trends HBCR. Methods: A total 757 articles from 2002 to 2022, with themes rehabilitation, were included core collection database Web Science. CiteSpace software used for literature metrology visualization analysis...

Virtual reality (VR) systems are useful tools that enable users to alter environmental settings and the location of landmarks in an accurate and fast way. Primates have been shown to be able to navigate in virtual environments. For rodents, however, all previous attempts to develop VR systems in which rats behave in the same way as in corresponding 3-D environments have failed. The question ari...

The article participate in the project RoboReha in which solutions are being implemented, aimed to increase the level of education of health professionals, improving care for patients and development platforms with virtual models for virtual rehabilitation. To verify the design there were applied two of the six categories of the proposed exercise in solution. For use in practice, it is also nec...

Background. Catalyzed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that restricted non-essential travel, awareness of value telehealth increased among healthcare providers and consumers. Telerehabilitation, a subset telemedicine, refers explicitly to remote provision rehabilitation services. However, since majority were new concept telerehabilitation, which was commonly interchanged with...

Abstract. Due to the worldwide competition of manufacturing industry and the development of virtual reality (VR) technology, virtual assembly (VA) has attracted many researchers to reduce development cost and improve product quality. As a typical application of VR in engineering, VA has become increasingly important for modern industry. In this paper, a survey of research progress about VA is a...

Teleradiology is largely and successfully implemented all over the world. Videoconferencing, telemedical education, teleconsultations, teleradiology, telesurgery and telepresence during surgical procedures are just some of the many telemedical applications in use today. The TeleOrto Centre of Excellence in Warsaw, Poland, not only applies telediagnostic and teleeducational technologies, but als...

According to the present guidelines for heart failure patients, regular exercise training has obtained the class of recommendation I, level of evidence A. Despite the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation, many heart failure patients are inactive. Common patient's rejection of existing forms of rehabilitation and limitations resulting from the disease itself hinder the outpatient cardiac rehab...
