30 years ago, a paper chart was developed in Edinburgh by Cullen et al. and validated as a swift, supplementary method for perimetric evaluation of visual fields. We have re-developed this concept in digital form (on smartphone screen) and assessed its sensitivity and specificity in detecting visual field loss, by comparison with formal machine-bas...
High-precision indoor positioning is essential for various applications, such as the Internet of Things, robotics, and smart manufacturing, requiring accuracy better than 1 m. Conventional indoor positioning methods, like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth fingerprinting, typically provide low accuracy within a range of several meters, while techniques such as las...
Medical thermography is a non-invasive technique that allows the measurement of the temperature of the human body surface, exploiting the heat emitted by the body through the skin in the form of infrared electromagnetic radiation. Recently, smartphone-based thermography (ST) has drawn considerable attention. This scoping review (SR) aims to describ...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequent and responsible for cardiovascular complications and excessive daytime sleepiness. It is underdiagnosed due to the difficulty to access the gold standard for diagnosis, polysomnography (PSG). Alternative methods using smartphone sensors could be useful to increase diagnosis. The objective is to assess the p...

Purpose Assess whether ChatGPT 4.0 is accurate enough to perform research evaluations on journal articles to automate this time-consuming task. Design/methodology/approach Test the extent to which ChatGPT-4 can assess the quality of journal articles using a case study of the published scoring guidelines of the UK Research Excellence Framework (REF)...
The need for rapid, on-site contaminant detection is becoming increasingly vital for tackling environmental and public health challenges. This study introduces an efficient method for detecting sulfamethoxazole (SMX), a widely used antibiotic with significant environmental implications. A cost-effective, scalable approach was developed using lab-on...
Background: Three-dimensional facial scan technologies, such as stereophotogrammetry, are frequently used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, dentistry, and plastic surgery to assess patient outcomes and plan surgical procedures. Most facial scanners rely on stationary clinical systems, which provide high accuracy and reliability in generating 3D re...

The current research examined how people forecast and experience screen time, social interaction, and solitude. When participants could freely use their smartphone, they forecasted (Study 1) and experienced (Study 2) better mood for face-to-face conversation, but worse mood for sitting alone. When participants were instructed to engage in specific ...

A novel ground slot-based massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with 14 elements for dual-band application of next-generation smartphones is developed. Every single antenna in the array is placed on the borders of a smartphone’s PCB, operating within the 3.55 GHz to 3.7 GHz (n48) and 5.855 GHz to 5.925 GHz (n47) frequency bands. This...
