“…This camera was placed so that the screen remained at all times fixed to a bar perpendicular to the ground, maintaining a distance of 160 cm from the lens to the anterior region of the subject's thighs. We chose a Flir ® Camera, versus any other [22], since these cameras are meant to provide superior picture quality and improved resolution. These types of medical devices are specifically designed for diagnostic use and they meet all European regulations.…”

Neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) has been used mainly as a method to promote muscle strength, but its effects on improving blood flow are less well known. The aim of this study is to deepen the knowledge about the local and contralateral effects of the application of symmetric biphasic square currents on skin temperature (Tsk). An experimental pilot study was developed with a single study group consisting of 45 healthy subjects. Thermographic evaluations were recorded following the application of NMES to the anterior region of the thigh. The results showed an increase in the maximal Tsk of 0.67% in the anterior region of the thigh where the NMES was applied (p < 0.001) and an increase of 0.54% (p < 0.01) due to cross-education effects, which was higher when the NMES was applied on the dominant side (0.79%; p < 0.01). The duration of the effect was 20 min in the dominant leg and 10 min in the nondominant one. The application of a symmetrical biphasic current (8 Hz and 400 μs) creates an increase in the maximal Tsk at the local level. A temperature cross-education effect is produced, which is greater when the NMES is applied on the dominant side. This could be a useful noninvasive measurement tool in NMES treatments.

“…The skin emission is about 0.98, which is close to the emission of the blackbody. Thermal radiation emitted from the body has a wavelength of 8-10 µm bandwidth, which can be captured by the infrared camera [28][29][30]. Due to the relatively lower sensitivity of thermographic screening, it usually adds to other diagnosing methods, mainly with CBE to increase the overall diagnostic accuracy [31,32].…”

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Early diagnosis improves outcome and survival, which is the cornerstone of breast cancer treatment. Thermography has been utilized as a complementary diagnostic technique in breast cancer detection. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the capacity to capture and analyze the entire concealed information in thermography. In this study, we propose a method to potentially detect the immunohistochemical response to breast cancer by finding thermal heterogeneous patterns in the targeted area. In this study for breast cancer screening 208 subjects participated and normal and abnormal (diagnosed by mammography or clinical diagnosis) conditions were analyzed. High-dimensional deep thermomic features were extracted from the ResNet-50 pre-trained model from low-rank thermal matrix approximation using sparse principal component analysis. Then, a sparse deep autoencoder designed and trained for such data decreases the dimensionality to 16 latent space thermomic features. A random forest model was used to classify the participants. The proposed method preserves thermal heterogeneity, which leads to successful classification between normal and abnormal subjects with an accuracy of 78.16% (73.3–81.07%). By non-invasively capturing a thermal map of the entire tumor, the proposed method can assist in screening and diagnosing this malignancy. These thermal signatures may preoperatively stratify the patients for personalized treatment planning and potentially monitor the patients during treatment.

The increasing spread of the coronavirus across countries and with no sight of vaccine uncovered soon has prompted affected countries to impose strict containment measures. In view to ease the enormous strain on health systems; disinfection, decontamination, contact tracking, and isolation are a few health protocols that are to be observed by companies that resumed their activities to protect their employees from being infected. Hence, against a backdrop of heightened uncertainty, this project leverages on the advancement of technology to design and built a smart Infrared thermal scanning with a camera (Thermovis-Mi-FRAHT-800). An Ultraviolet-C spectrum disinfection system and integration of blockchain technology for data sharing, managing health records, and access control. SketchUp used as a 3D design platform for this project. This system designed with a precautionary measure which includes 3 conditions to be met for the automated barrier to be open which include temperature measurement, disinfection, and sanitization processes. Overall, a person spends less than a minute in the walkthrough path chamber as the process takes 20 to 25 seconds each. By this calculation, we assume that 2 people would be able to get disinfected within a minute which comes up to 120 people per hour. Thus, reducing the number of monitoring staffs in direct contact with the stakeholders with potential infection issues. It is envisaged that developing this conceptual design would be the cornerstone in adhering to control measure through appropriate infection control and modification using current and future technologies.
