UTI-LLM: A Personalized Articulatory-Speech Therapy Assistance System Based on Multimodal Large Language Model
Speech therapy plays a critical role in training speech disorders caused by neurological impairments such as stroke. However, traditional manual and computer-assisted systems are limited in real-time accessibility and articulatory motion feedback, constraining their practical utility. Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in healthcare, particularly through their ability to integrate multimodal data for adaptive assessment and therap…

LoRA-fine-tuned Large Vision Models for Automated Assessment of Post-SBRT Lung Injury
This study investigates the efficacy of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) for fine-tuning large Vision Models, DinoV2 and SwinV2, to diagnose Radiation-Induced Lung Injury (RILI) from X-ray CT scans following Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). To evaluate the robustness and efficiency of this approach, we compare LoRA with traditional full fine-tuning and inference-only (no fine-tuning) methods. Cropped images of two sizes (50 mm3 and 75 mm3), centered at the treatment isocenter, in addition …

Therapeutic AI and the Hidden Risks of Over-Disclosure: An Embedded AI-Literacy Framework for Mental Health Privacy

Unlike traditional clinical interactions, LLM-mediated therapy often lacks a clear structure for what information is collected, how it is …

In these tissues, the concentration of sulfur atoms is significantly higher than in healthy ones. Accordingly, the destruction of cancer cells is caused by the ionization of sulfur atoms. The selective nature of the therapy is determined by the narrow spectral-angular distribution of the PXR photon beam and the resonant absorption of radiation…

Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Gaze-Performance Link in Children with ASD through Dual-Level Visual Guidance in MR-DMT
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is marked by action imitation deficits stemming from visuomotor integration impairments, posing challenges to imitation-based learning, such as dance movement therapy in mixed reality (MR-DMT). Previous gaze-guiding interventions in ASD have mainly focused on optimizing gaze in isolation, neglecting the crucial "gaze-performance link". This study investigates enhancing this link in MR-DMT for children with ASD. Initially, we experimentally confirmed the weak link:…

High-speed proton therapy within a short breath-hold
Proton therapy provides superior dose conformity compared with photon radiotherapy, concentrating radiation within the tumor while sparing adjacent healthy tissue. This advantage has been most effectively realized for static tumors in anatomically stable regions, such as the head and neck. For thoracic and abdominal sites, however, physiological motion remains a critical challenge: because the proton dose distribution is highly sensitive to density variations, long delivery times relative to re…

Investigating Encoding and Perspective for Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) offers promising opportunities to support movement-based activities, such as personal training or physical therapy, with real-time, spatially-situated visual cues. While many approaches leverage AR to guide motion, existing design guidelines focus on simple, upper-body movements within the user's field of view. We lack evidence-based design recommendations for guiding more diverse scenarios involving movements with varying levels of visibility and direction. We conducted …

E-THER: A PCT-Grounded Dataset for Benchmarking Empathic AI
A prevalent shortfall among current empathic AI systems is their inability to recognize when verbal expressions may not fully reflect underlying emotional states. This is because the existing datasets, used for the training of these systems, focus on surface-level emotion recognition without addressing the complex verbal-visual incongruence (mismatch) patterns useful for empathic understanding. In this paper, we present E-THER, the first Person-Centered Therapy-grounded multimodal dataset with …

Exploring Machine Learning Models for Physical Dose Calculation in Carbon Ion Therapy Using Heterogeneous Imaging Data - A Proof of Concept Study
Background: Accurate and fast dose calculation is essential for optimizing carbon ion therapy. Existing machine learning (ML) models have been developed for other radiotherapy modalities. They use patient data with uniform CT imaging properties. Purpose: This study investigates the application of several ML models for physical dose calculation in carbon ion therapy and compares their ability to generalize to CT data with varying resolutions. Among the models examined is a Diffusion Model, which…
