Fusion of ballistocardiography and imaging for improved non-contact heart rate monitoring.

Camera based imaging is the most widely used technique for non-contact heart rate monitoring (HRM). However, it's robustness to motion artifacts and the absence of reliability when the patient's face is not in the camera's field of view still persists. This is often addressed with computationally heavy AI algorithms or hardware intensive multi-camera systems.

Comparative study of silicone membrane simulator and animal eye models for sub-Tenon's block.

To compare and assess silicone membrane-based sub-Tenon's block (STB) simulator and animal eye model (goat's eye) for practicing STB in terms of anatomical similarity and feel of texture of eye layers. The study included 34 participants (26 learners and 8 consultants) from tertiary ophthalmic centres. The participants were divided into groups A and B.
