This paper maps and synthesizes the use of electromyography (EMG) to assess pelvic floor muscle alterations across the peripartum and postpartum periods.<br /> It reviews current evidence on EMG acquisition protocols, childbirth-related neuromuscular markers, and methodological gaps affecting clinical translation.
In Vivo Wireless Powering of a Long-Acting Nanofluidic Drug Delivery Implant
This paper presents the design and validation of a fully wireless, rechargeable implantable drug delivery system (nDS) with an integrated power management and control system, specifically developed for use in freely moving animal models.
ECG, Respiration, fNIRS, and Eye Tracking for Stress and Mental Workload Monitoring in Human-Machine Interaction
This paper investigates the relationship between stress, MWL, and four physiological signals—electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and eye tracking—combined with a tailored Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), specifically designed for industrial applications.
Toward Noninvasive Assessment of Arterial Stiffness: Regression Modeling From Radial-Tibial Pulse Wave Features
The present study proposes an innovative approach using a regression algorithm to predict the carotid-femoral PWV value from pulse waves acquired at more accessible sites, including the carotid, radial, and tibial, compatible with wearable use.
Predicting Operator Workload from Oculometric Data in High-Demand Environments: A Case Study with MATB-II
The present work aims to develop a system capable of estimating various levels of mental workload using solely ocular signals that can be easily captured through wearable devices such as smart glasses or non-invasive optical devices, like remote cameras.
A new Preliminary Steps Towards a Low Power Integrated Circuit for AgriTech: a Relaxation Oscillator for Stem Impedance Monitoring
This paper presents a preliminary study of an integrable, low-power relaxation oscillator, consisting of a Schmitt trigger in a feedback loop with the plant’s stem to evaluate its health status.
eLiONS in a nutshell
The eLiONS Laboratory (electronic Life-Oriented iNtelligent Systems) belongs to the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (DET). It deals with the design and implementation of intelligent systems for several life-oriented applications, specifically for BioMedics and AgriFood. The research team is also strongly involved in technology transfer and education. The laboratory joins both technological and fundamental competencies for the design of devices at the micro and macro levels, circuits and systems. The eLiONS team covers the hardware design of electronic interfaces, the implementation of embedded systems, up to the development of software for signal conditioning and user interfaces. eLiONS researchers have also experience in the application, to the areas of interest, of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms.
