Low back pain (LBP) is the most common work-related musculoskeletal disorder among
healthcare workers and is directly related to long hours of working in twisted/bent postures …

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is a promising technique, yet still an experimental solution,
to replace batteries in existing implants and overcome the related health complications …

Electromyography (EMG) is widely used in human–machine interfaces (HMIs) to measure
muscle contraction by computing the EMG envelope. However, EMG is largely affected by …

Background Leadless pacemakers are widely used, but the quality of life assessment of
patients with leadless pacemakers is still unclear. Hypothesis Assume that leadless …

Auscultation of heart sounds is important to perform cardiovascular assessment. External
noises may limit heart sound perception. In addition, heart sound bandwidth is concentrated …

Piezoresistive or piezoelectric force sensors are widely available today. These sensors are
preferred to loadcells because of their extremely reduced size, slimness, and low cost, which …

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and functional capacity values immediately after
pacemaker (PM) implantation have been well established; however, not much has been …

The obtained advances in heart surgery from the mid-20th century has created the need for
artificial means to stimulate the heart muscle. Initially, pacemakers were developed as …

Seismocardiography (SCG) is a non-invasive technique able to record the weak mechanical
vibrations induced by the beating heart via accelerometers placed onto the subject's thorax …

In this study, a low-voltage three-phase inverter was used alongside a shunt resistor to
measure the current. However, it is known that this type of inverter and shunt resistor system …
