An Easy-to-Deploy Temporal Thermographic Data Collection and Analysis System
Published Thursday, May 3, 2018Buildings in the United States consume a significant amount of energy and release an increasing amount of CO2. Accordingly, tools and techniques have been developed to determine where energy efficiency in buildings can be improved. One such technique is thermography, where auditors determine energy inefficiency using a thermal camera that shows...

Automated evaluation of surgeon technical performance
Published Wednesday, November 15, 2017The technical skills of a surgical resident are typically evaluated by experienced mentors during training. However, this process is time-consuming, labor-intensive and may involve evaluator biases. In an effort to standardize such technical evaluations, UMB researchers developed an automated, sensor-free...

Balanced Reach Control Systems Model
Published Tuesday, May 2, 2017Bipedal standing balance is inherently unstable and must be actively controlled to prevent falling. This involves a complex interaction of the sensorimotor system and multi-segment musculoskeletal system. Fall risk increases with deterioration of sensorimotor and musculoskeletal elements responsible for balance due to age, neurological...

BLEEDING RISK INDEX (BRI) PREDICTION ALGORITHM
Published Monday, November 7, 2022Hemorrhage is the most common cause of preventable death on the battlefield and in civilian trauma care. Triaging patients that may have life-threatening bleeding in the field is essential for distinguishing those who need trauma center care, early control of bleeding, and blood transfusion. The UMB inventors developed the Bleeding Risk Index (...

Combination Assessment of Volume Status (CAVS)
Published Wednesday, May 17, 2023Early and aggressive fluid resuscitation in shock is associated with improved patient outcome and mortality. However, there is a clear correlation between cumulative fluid balance and mortality. There is, therefore, a benefit to adopting a systematic approach to fluid resuscitation to determine which patients would benefit from a fluid bolus...
