Background: The Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (FINGER) multimodal lifestyle intervention yielded cognitive and other health benefits in older adults at risk of cognitive decline. The two-year multinational randomized controlled LETHE trial evaluates the feasibility of a digitally supported, adapted FINGER intervention among at-risk older adults. Technology is used to complement in-person activities, for the intervention delivery, personalize recommendations, and collect digital biomarkers.

Background: This study aims to assess the comparative effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), laparoscopy (LPS), and laparotomy (LPT) in improving perioperative indicators, lymph node dissection, and tumor survival outcomes in patients with Endometrial carcinoma (EC) through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Materials And Methods: We searched China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, WeiPu, China Biology Medicine Disc, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and Cohort studies (CSs) involving RAS, LPS and LPT in individuals with EC. The network meta-analysis employed a Bayesian framework to integrate direct and indirect evidence, calculating Odds Ratios (OR) and Mean Difference (MD).

Background: Social robots have been used in other countries for improvement of quality of life for persons with dementia.
Method: LOVOT was introduced as an adjunct to regular therapy sessions (either Physiotherapy or Occupational Therapy) and as an interactive companion during the patient's inpatient stay. The project was carried out over a span of 6 weeks (weekdays) for a maximum of 10-15 mins on an ad-hoc basis.

Background: To address the rapid increase in the number of persons with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia (PwADRD), we seek to combine the benefits of music intervention with the adaptability of social robotics. Our system, the Music intervention Using Socially Engaging robotics (MUSE) system, seeks to provide a structured music intervention session to a group of PwADRD using the social robot Pepper. As seen in Figure 1, the Pepper robot leads the PwADRD through a 3-step music intervention session.

In recent years, robotic assistance has become increasingly used and applied in minimally invasive surgeries. A new cooperative surgical robot system that includes a joystick-guided robotic scope holder was developed in this study, and its feasibility for use in minimally invasive abdominal surgery was evaluated in a preclinical setting. The cooperative surgical robot consists of a six-degree-of-freedom collaborative robot arm and a one-degree-of-freedom bidirectional telescopic end-effector specializing in surgical assistance.
