Personal digital assistants (PDAs) or handheld computers have become more popular in the practice of medicine. These devices have implications for psychiatric practice, and this paper reviews various published articles describing their use. The literature demonstrates their use in document editing, patient tracking, accessing medical information and drug reference guides, prescription writing, and medical education. Security on these devices is covered, and the value and increasing implementation of PDAs in psychiatry is discussed.

Choosing nutritious foods is essential for daily health, but finding recipes that match available ingredients and dietary preferences can be challenging. Traditional recommendation methods often lack personalization and accurate ingredient recognition. Personalized systems address this by integrating user preferences, dietary needs, and ingredient availability.

Discretely monitoring traffic systems and tracking payloads on vehicle targets can be challenging when traversal occurs off main roads where overhead traffic cameras are not present. This work proposes a portable roadside vehicle detection system as part of a solution for tracking traffic along any path. Training semantic segmentation networks to automatically detect specific types of vehicles while ignoring others will allow the user to track payloads present only on certain vehicles of interest, such as train cars or semi-trucks.

Portable monitoring devices based on Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) have the potential to serve as quantitative assessments of human movement. This article proposes a new method to identify the optimal placements of the IMUs and quantify the smoothness of the gait. First, it identifies gait events: foot-strike (FS) and foot-off (FO).

Selecting channels for motor imagery (MI)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) systems can not only enhance the portability of the systems, but also improve the decoding performance. Hence, we propose a cross-domain-based channel selection (CDCS) approach, which effectively minimizes the number of EEG channels used while maintaining high accuracy in MI recognition. The EEG source imaging (ESI) technique is employed to map scalp EEG into the cortical source domain.

Corneal ulcer is one of the most important ophthalmic emergencies. A portable, recordable, and smartphone-attachable slit-lamp device called the "Smart Eye Camera" (SEC) is introduced to compare evaluating corneal ulcers between the SEC and the conventional slit-lamp. A total of 110 participants were included in the study, consisting of 55 patients with corneal ulcers and 55 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers as controls.
