Semantic Gait Parameter Extraction from Video Data Using Generative Models

This study addresses the challenge faced by children with severe motor impairments in acquiring proficient powered wheelchair (PW) skills for independent locomotion. Traditional means, such as joysticks, may not be suitable, prompting exploration of brain-computer interface (BCI)-based PWs. However, limited research exists in the pediatric realm due to developing brains and a lack of tailored […]

Bioengineering blood cells for managing non-compressible hemorrhage

Non-compressible hemorrhage accounts for high mortality globally. Traditional tourniquets and wound dressings cannot apply to the internal and non-compressible bleeding sites. Currently, transfusion of blood remains the clinical “gold standard”, but has the issues of limited availability, short shelf-life, and high cost. There is an unmet need for the prevention or point-of-care treatment of non-compressible […]
