A systematic literature review and meta-analysis on digital health interventions for people living with dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment (2022)
Journal Article

Objectives: Digital health interventions enable services to support people living with dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) remotely. This literature review gathers evidence on the effectiveness of digital health interventions on physical, co...

Comparison of standard automotive industry injury predictors and actual injury sustained during significant whiplash events (2021)
Journal Article

Purpose: We present a unique opportunity to compare standard neck injury criteria (used by the automotive industry to predict injury) with real-life injuries. The injuries sustained during, and the overall kinematics of, a television demonstration of...

Smartphone monitoring of in-ambulance vibration and noise (2021)
Journal Article

Transferring sick premature infants between hospitals increases the risk of severe brain injury, potentially linked to the excessive exposure to noise, vibration and driving-related accelerations. One method of reducing these levels may be to travel... Read More about Smartphone monitoring of in-ambulance vibration and noise.

Canine collars: an investigation of collar type and the forces applied to a simulated neck model (2020)
Journal Article

Background Dog collars have the potential to cause harm when the dog pulls on the lead. This study aimed to determine the effects of collar type and force applied using the lead, on the pressure on a simulated neck model. Methods Seven collars and a...

Computational mechanical characterization of geometrically transformed Schwarz P lattice tissue scaffolds fabricated via two photon polymerization (2PP) (2018)
Journal Article

Schwarz P unit cell-based tissue scaffolds comprised of poly(D,L-lactide-co-caprolactone)(PLCL) fabricated via the additive manufacturing technique, two-photon polymerisation (2PP) were found to undergo geometrical transformations from the original i...

Effect of mechanical preconditioning on the electrical properties of knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading (2018)
Journal Article

This paper presents, for the first time, the electrical response of knitted conductive fabrics to a considerable number of cycles of deformation in view of their use as wearable sensors. The changes in the electrical properties of four knitted conduc... Read More about Effect of mechanical preconditioning on the electrical properties of knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading.

X-ray computed tomography and additive manufacturing in medicine: a review (2017)
Journal Article

The use of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) with additive manufacture (AM) within a medical context is examined in this review. The seven AM process families and various XCT scanning techniques are explained in brief, and the use of these technologies... Read More about X-ray computed tomography and additive manufacturing in medicine: a review.

Neonatal head and torso vibration exposure during inter-hospital transfer (2017)
Journal Article

© Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Inter-hospital transport of premature infants is increasingly common, given the centralisation of neonatal intensive care. However, it is known to be associated with anomalously increased morbidity, most notably... Read More about Neonatal head and torso vibration exposure during inter-hospital transfer.

Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation (2014)
Journal Article

The ability of materials to define the architecture and microenvironment experienced by cells provides new opportunities to direct the fate of human pluripotent stem cells (HPSCs) [Robinton DA, Daley GQ (2012) Nature 481(7381):295-305]. However, the... Read More about Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation.

Finite element investigation of the effect of spina bifida on loading of the vertebral isthmus (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Spondylolysis (SL) of the lower lumbar spine is frequently associated with spina bifida occulta (SBO). There has not been any study that has demonstrated biomechanical or genetic predispositions to explain the coexistence of these two pat...
