“…About 100,000 applications are now available in the health sector, 70 % of which are related to the well-being segment, concerning almost 5 million people in France [ 14 ]. The development of these devices in the health care sector, governed in France by Article L.6316 of the French public health code, is also intensive and diversified: rating scale for chemotherapy sessions and associated adverse effects, textual interpretation of arterial blood gases, management of diabetic patients by a web-based telemonitoring platform [ 15 ], teleradiology-based management of neuroradiology emergencies [ 16 ], telemedicine applied to muscle rehabilitation [ 17 ], telemonitoring in patients with heart failure [ 18 ], etc.…”

BackgroundSmart devices and mobile applications are now an integral part of all aspects of everyday life. They are particularly numerous in the field of health, contributing to the movement called ehealth. What is the potential role of these devices as prevention supports? The purpose of this article is to provide an exploratory analysis of the use, efficacy and contribution to conventional prevention strategies.MethodsTo address this issue, we conducted a scoping-review on the basis of 105 publications from the fields of medicine and human sciences.ResultsThree dimensions of the use of smart devices in the field of health were identified: 1/a quantification tool allowing the users to measure their activities; 2/a tool of self-positioning in the community; 3/an interface between the medical world and the population, modifying the hierarchy of knowledge. However, few published studies have investigated the determinants of the efficacy of these devices and their impact on individual behaviours and professional health practices.ConclusionBased on the hypothesis of possible integration of these devices in prevention policies, it would be interesting to investigate two research issues: how and under what psycho-socio-environmental conditions can smart devices contribute to the adoption of positive health behaviours? To what degree does the use of smart devices modify the health care professional-patient relationship? Finding answers to these questions could help to define the real place of these devices in prevention strategies by determining their complementarity with respect to other prevention strategies, and the conditions of their efficacy on behaviours and inequalities.

“…Kikuchi et al [87] improved the model developed by Fursusho et al by adopting a newly proposed compact size MR brake with enhanced maximum torque of 10 Nm. Avraam et al [88] proposed portable smart wrist rehabilitation device with rotational MR fluid brake actuator for telemedicine application as shown in Figure 10. They designed a novel T-shaped MR fluid brake that can generate output torque of 22.5 Nm and adopted to the proposed portable wrist rehabilitation system.…”

Over the last two decades, smart materials have received significant attention over a broad range of engineering applications because of their unique and inherent characteristics for actuating and sensing aspects. In this review article, recent research works on various robots, medical devices and rehabilitation mechanisms whose main functions are activated by smart materials are introduced and discussed. Among many smart materials, electro-rheological fluids, magneto-rheological fluids, and shape memory alloys are considered since there are mostly appropriate application candidates for the robot and medical devices. Many different types of robots proposed to date, such as parallel planar robots, are investigated focusing on design configuration and operating principles. In addition, specific mechanism and operating principles of medical devices and rehabilitation systems are introduced and commented in terms of practical realization.

“…There were many ways to enhance the torque performance of MRB such as meandering flow in the core of MRB [10], add multiple discs on MRB [7], adding the number of turn wire [11], T-shaped rotor in order the path magnetic flux could reach all gap line [8,12], and combining magnetic and non-magnetic material on stator or rotor which is called serpentine flux [12,13]. Serpentine flux has an advantage in increasing torque more effectively because it can manage magnetic flux path by deflecting it.…”

Serpentine flux T-shaped magneto-rheological brake (MRB) featuring a single coil has been proposed for reducing the needs of coil that usually implemented in conventional T-shape MR brake. Here, the use of serpentine type magnetic flux flow is the key to coil reduction. The prototype was designed and fabricated in the laboratory. The design covers analytical torque prediction, magnetic circuit simulation, and workshop drawing. While the fabricated prototype was characterized using MRB test rig equipped with torque and angular velocity sensors. The experimental work was carried out in constant speed and constant current. The torque using the analytical approach and experiment result respectively was 1.51 Nm and 1.91 Nm at 1 A current supplied. Based on the comparison between prediction and experiment results, it could be seen that the highest difference was about 20.
