Abstract:In the nine months leading up to COVID-19, our biomedical engineering research group was in the very early stages of development and in-home testing of HUGS, the Hand Use and Grasp Sensor (HUGS) system. HUGS was conceived as a tool to allay parents’ anxiety by empowering them to monitor their infants’ neuromotor development at home. System focus was on the evolving patterns of hand grasp and general upper extremity movement, over time, in the naturalistic environment of the home, through analysis of data captu… Show more
“…Specifically, González Aguña et al [ 8 ] explore healthcare professionals’ perceptions of care robotics during the COVID-19 pandemic and their correlation with healthcare assessment tools. Schladen et al [ 9 ] focus on developing and testing the HUGS system for monitoring infant neuromotor development, highlighting the challenges faced during the pandemic. Koutsouris et al [ 10 ] propose a method for estimating the average time-to-recovery for contagious diseases, with a focus on COVID-19.…”
