The evaluation of energy expenditure is of great importance, not only during health promotion, but also during recovery from disease. The measurement of oxygen uptake is the most reliable method for measuring energy expenditure, but, for estimating resting metabolism, there is still a need for sophisticated equipment. We have developed and evaluated a simple calorimeter and compared it with the flow-through (Canopy) system. A respiratory simulator was used to evaluate ...
This paper proposes a tele-instruction system for ultrasound probe operation, based on shared Augmented Reality (AR) technology. Telemedicine, a strategy to diminish geographic gaps in the quality of medical service, is fashionable. However, existing medical-data transmission systems cannot convey the skills of physicians, so they cannot eliminate the problem of geographic gaps. This research developed a telemedicine system that transports physicians' skills over a shared AR space. The shared AR ...
