The reticulocyte count reflects the erythropoietic activity of bone marrow and is thus useful in both diagnosing anemias and monitoring bone marrow response to therapy. Automated flow-cytometric analysis has led to a significant advance in reticulocyte counting, by simultaneously providing additional parameters and indices such as the reticulocyte immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), the retic...

Gait analysis using wearable sensor is cheap, convenient, and efficient way of providing useful information for health related applications. It is used as a clinical tool in the rehabilitation, sport activities, and diagnosis of medical conditions. Gait analysis is used for non-automated and automated continuous monitoring improvement of patient recovery. Automated systems are important in assi...
