Abstract INTRODUCTION This study presents the first steps and results towards the development of a system for predicting the quality of surgical performance and workload in laparoscopic training. MATERIAL AND METHODS Surgeons wore a smartwatch which recorded their heart rate and hand motion during each laparoscopic procedure. Data was then correlated with both the Surgery Task Load Index (SURG-TLX) subjective questionnaire and the Global Operational Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills (GOALS) objective evaluation tool. Statistical analysis was conducted in order to study the relationship between parameters and to compare the results according to the surgeons’ level of experience. RESULTS Nine laparoscopic surgeons participated in this study, five gynecologists and four digestive surgeons. Gynecological surgeons showed a positive correlation between their level of experience, heart rate, hand motion, and GOALS score, except for bimanual dexterity. The reduction in the variability of hand accelerations led to improved tissue handling. Digestive surgeons showed a negative correlation between their level of experience and the reported temporal demand and complexity of the procedure. Novice digestive surgeons reported increased workload during surgery, mainly in mental, physical, and temporal workload. In both surgical specialties, it was observed that reduction in surgical workload was associated with improved GOALS score. CONCLUSIONS Preliminary results showed that bimanual dexterity is independent of the experience of gynecological surgeons. During laparoscopic surgical procedures, reduced variability in hand accelerations leads to better tissue manipulation. In addition, in gynecological and upper gastrointestinal procedures, reduced surgical workload is associated with improved surgical performance.

Occupational Fatigue

Extensive research has been conducted to study the effects of physical and sleep related fatigue on occupational health and safety. However, fatigue is a complex multidimensional construct, that is task- and occupation-dependent, and our knowledge on how to measure this complex construct is limited. A scoping review was conducted to: 1) review sensors and their metrics currently employed in occupational fatigue studies, 2) identify overlap between sensors and associated metrics that can be leveraged to assess comprehensive fatigue, 3) investigating the effectiveness of the sensors/metrics, and 4) recommended potential sensor/metric combinations to evaluate comprehensive fatigue. 512 unique abstracts were identified through Ovid-MEDLINE, MEDLINE, Embase and Cinal databases and application of the inclusion/exclusion criteria resulted in 27 articles that were included for the review. Heart rate sensors and actigraphs were identified to be the most suitable devices to study comprehensive fatigue. Heart rate trend within the heart rate sensor, and sleep length and sleep efficiency within actigraphs were found to be the most popular and reliable metrics for measuring occupational fatigue.

Abstract The aim of this research was applied a microcontroller, temperature sensor, weight sensor, heart rate sensor and GSM module to monitoring and notification of the condition of premature babies in portable incubators. The hardware used consists of a DS18B20 sensor, Load Cell, Pulse Heart Rate Sensor, Buzzer, LCD and SIM800L Module. The results showed the Pulse sensor and DS18B20 sensor could measure and detect the baby’s heart rate and baby temperature. The result was on the LCD with an average error of 4.354% for heartrate and 1.437% for temperature. The loadcell sensor can detect weight with an error of 2.16%. The duration of sending SMS to Smartphone is 8s for each delivery. SMS was sent if the baby weak and critical condition.

The prediction of the menstrual cycle phase and fertility window by easily measurable bio-signals is an unmet need and such technological development will greatly contribute to women's QoL. Although many studies have reported differences in autonomic indices of heart rate variability (HRV) between follicular and luteal phases, they have not yet reached the level that can predict the menstrual cycle phases. The recent development of wearable sensors-enabled heart rate monitoring during daily life. The long-term heart rate data obtained by them carry plenty of information, and the information that can be extracted by conventional HRV analysis is only a limited part of it. This chapter introduces comprehensive analyses of long-term heart rate data that may be useful for revealing their associations with the menstrual cycle phase.

This article evaluates agricultural operator´s stress, mental strain and generally fighting with driving difficulties during operating agricultural machinery sets by means of a heart rate indicator. Different drivers driving different tractors with implements were chosen and evaluated during different field jobs, namely soil tillage and sowing. Machinery position on the field was precisely monitored by a GPS receiver and the heart beat rate was observed by means of a chest belt special device with a heart rate sensor. The output data from the sensors were monitored during conventional manual steering of the tractor-implement set and also when using the complete automatic guidance steering without any driver´s intervention to steering wheel – all by using the DGPS guidance signal. The data were further processed with a special software for the heart rate sensor and detailed statistical evaluation was performed. All described trials were measured at different farms in the Czech Republic. The final outcomes from the experiment showed a statistically significant difference between two experimental variants and confirm our hypothesis that the guidance systems bring a great benefit for drivers concerning mental strain and relief of their workload.
