Inductive power transfer technology has proven to be a promising solution for powering implantable heart pumps such as left ventricular assist devices, eliminating the need for a percutaneous driveline and reducing the risk of severe infections significantly. However, the required high power transfer capability of a Transcutaneous Energy Transfer (TET) system raises questions about human safety regarding...
Recent advances in the study of human assistive robots have led to requests for ethical review for clinical trials during the development process. In this environment, many developers have found it difficult to understand the criteria for these ethical reviews. One of the basic reasons for this difficulty is the methodology in robotics. That is, trials in the development of robotics are characterized...
Following recent advances in robotics for supporting human activities, ethical reviews similar to those for medical research and development have been requested for clinical trials in the development process of this field of robotics. In this environment, many robot developers have found it difficult to understand the criteria for these ethical reviews. One of the basic reasons for this difficulty...
This paper describes the design process of a Web-based tool for compliance with safe work practices in cross-border care settings, focusing on infection control of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The tool should facilitate health care workers (HCWs) with applicable evidence-based guidelines and best-practices that enhance the decision making process and enable them to deliver safe health...
Traffic congestion on major roadways costs our nation billions of dollars in lost earnings, wasted fuel consumption, injury and loss of human life. Providing motorists with real time roadway conditions is essential to mitigating traffic congestion. We propose a novel real-time messaging system that can be used to communicate imminent traffic conditions to motorists. Having such information can allow...
