The number of dismantling sites for buildings has been rapidly increased and these processes are very dangerous. So many research papers have been published addressing the development of a remote controller for the dismantling equipments. In this paper, a novel concept of applying tele-operated device is proposed for the remote control of excavator-like dismantling equipment. As a tele-operated...

AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the diagnostic capacity of tele-cervicography for the detection of cervical neoplasia as an adjunctive test with Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pap smear and tele-cervicography were performed on each subject. Histologic results were obtained for all patients. RESULTS Of the 863 females who had a tele-cervigram, 252 (29.2%) had a positive result....

The estimated prevalence of ventilator-dependent individuals in Europe is 6.6 per 100 000 people. The increasing number and costs of these complex patients make present health organisations largely insufficient to face their needs. As a consequence, their burden lays mostly over families. The need to reduce healthcare costs and to increase safety has prompted the development of tele-monitoring ...

Abstract Introduction Digital healthcare technology is becoming a prodigious tool in management, supporting efforts for effective demand management and personalised, user-centred care. One example tele-consultations, clinical consultations conducted remotely using such as telephones or videos. However, there slow adoption of lack literature its use, particularly within the pre-operative surgica...

The COVID-19 pandemic enforced an almost complete switch from face-to-face clinical work to tele-neurology. This study explores neurologists’ perceptions of telephone and videophone remote consultations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with neurologists a GP specialist interest (n = 22). Interviews remotely via Zoom®, audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim analysed using the principles ...

This paper describes a concept for a behaviour-based integration of tele-operator commands into the control system of a mobile robot. The control system presented features different control modes which allow for pure tele-operation, assisted tele-operation, and fully autonomous navigation. It is explained how the tele-operator can influence the robot’s motion at any time and how he can simply a...

This paper presents the architecture and implementation of a tele-presence wheelchair system based on tele-presence robot, intelligent wheelchair, and touch screen technologies. The tele-presence wheelchair system consists of a commercial electric wheelchair, an add-on tele-presence interaction module, and a touchable live video image based user interface (called TIUI). The tele-presence intera...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a post-operative telephone-based cognitive behavioral therapy intervention (Tele-CBT) in improving eating pathology and psychosocial functioning. METHODS Six-month post-operative bariatric surgery patients (n = 19) received six sessions of Tele-CBT. Study outcome variables included binge eating (BES), emotiona...

Telemonitoring is a medical practice that involves remotely monitoring patients who are not at the same location as the health care provider. The purpose of our study was to use handheld tele-electrocardiogram (ECG) developed by Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) to identify heart conditions in the rural underserved population where the doctor-patient ratio is low and access to health care is...
