22+ hour, 44+ min ago   (512+ words) REBA, RULA, and OWAS are widely used observational ergonomic risk assessment methods based on predefined ordinal scoring rules. The final risk scores generated by these methods play a critical role in determining and prioritizing ergonomic interventions under limited resources to…...

3+ day, 22+ hour ago   (537+ words) Automating the identification of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes from electronic health records (EHRs) presents a critical challenge, particularly for rare diseases where existing computational methods severely underperform due to extreme long-tail label distributions. To address this, we propose a…...

5+ day, 2+ hour ago   (466+ words) Neonatal sepsis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, while timely diagnosis continues to be challenging because of nonspecific clinical manifestations and limitations of conventional diagnostic methods. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have created new opportunities for…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (377+ words) Barrier-based safety systems are fundamental to preventing accidents in high-hazard industrial operations. However, traditional Hazard Identification (HAZID) and risk screening frameworks aggregate safety safeguards at a macro-hazard level, creating a systemic blind spot that masks threat-specific vulnerabilities and single points…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (407+ words) Large-scale administrative hospital discharge data is a key resource for secondary health systems research, yet reuse is constrained by barriers of access, quality, interoperability, and semantic comparability. This paper presents and validates a reproducible, declarative, loss-aware harmonization framework for public…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (698+ words) Background: Medication non-adherence is a major driver of poor therapeutic outcomes, and computer vision methods that observe facial movements offer a non-contact route to verifying oral medication intake. Objective: To map and synthesize the existing literature on computer vision techniques…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (356+ words) Accurately predicting transportation accident severity is critical for targeted risk governance, yet research based on accident investigation reports is often hampered by small sample sizes and skewed class distributions. This study develops a dual-track feature fusion and interpretable prediction framework…...

3+ week, 7+ hour ago   (464+ words) Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with motor impairment and altered cortical dynamics. Although resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) has been widely studied for PD classification, walking EEG remains comparatively underexplored despite its relevance to gait dysfunction. This study developed an EEG-only, leakage-free…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago   (434+ words) Commercial artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted electrocardiography systems require local assessment of the acquisition-to-review pathway before patient-facing use. We conducted a single-site, simulation-based functional assessment of one commercial 12-lead ECG configuration. A physiological signal simulator, ECG acquisition unit, AI-assisted review platform,…...

3+ week, 4+ day ago   (743+ words) Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) environments aim to enable older people to remain active and lead an autonomous and independent life for as long as possible. Among the technologies that can be incorporated into these settings, socially assistive robots (SAR) seek…...
