Walking Faster and Farther With a Soft Robotic Exosuit: Implications for Post-Stroke Gait Assistance and Rehabilitation
Author(s): Louis N. Awad, Pawel Kudzia, Dheepak Arumukhom Revi, Terry D. Ellis, Conor Walsh

Soft robotic exosuits can improve the mechanics and energetics of walking after stroke. Building on this prior work, we evaluated the effects of the first prototype of a portable soft robotic exosuit.

Y. Lo, Fiona Charlotte Denison, Paul Digard, Omair Malik, Mark J. G. Dunn, Catherine M. Mcdougall, Felicity V. Mehendale

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is primarily transmitted through virus-laden fluid particles ejected from the mouth of infected people. Face covers can mitigate the risk of virus transmission but their outward effectiveness is not fully ascertained.

COVID-19 Artificial Intelligence Diagnosis using only Cough Recordings 200 200 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

COVID-19 Artificial Intelligence Diagnosis using only Cough Recordings
Author(s): Jordi Laguarta, Ferran Hueto, Brian Subirana

We hypothesized that COVID-19 subjects, especially including asymptomatics, could be accurately discriminated only from a forced-cough cell phone recording using Artificial Intelligence. To train our MIT Open Voice model we built a data collection pipeline of COVID-19 cough recordings through our website (opensigma.mit.edu) between April and May 2020 and created the largest audio COVID-19 cough balanced dataset reported to date with 5,320 subjects.

Engineered Three-Dimensional Scaffolds Modulating Fate of Breast Cancer Cells Using Stiffness and Morphology Related Cell Adhesion 348 358 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Engineered Three-Dimensional Scaffolds Modulating Fate of Breast Cancer Cells Using Stiffness and Morphology Related Cell Adhesion
Author(s): Smitha Rao, Brennan J. Vogl, Carolynn A. Que, Samerender N. Hanumantharao

Artificially engineering the tumor microenvironment in vitro as a vital tool for understanding the mechanism of tumor progression. In this study, we developed three-dimensional cell scaffold systems with different topographical features and mechanical properties but similar surface chemistry. The cell behavior was modulated by the topography and mechanical properties of the scaffold.
