Di Lorito, C., Bosco, A., Rai, H., Craven, M., McNally, D., Todd, C., …Harwood, R. H. (2022). A systematic literature review and meta-analysis on digital health interventions for people living with dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment. International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 37(6), https://doi.org/10.1002/gps.5730

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...

Smartphone monitoring of in-ambulance vibration and noise (2021)
Journal Article
Partridge, T., Gherman, L., Morris, D., Light, R., Leslie, A., Sharkey, D., …Crowe, J. (2021). Smartphone monitoring of in-ambulance vibration and noise. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 235(4), 428-436. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954411920985994

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
Carter, A. J., Roshier, A. L., & McNally, D. S. (2020). Canine collars: an investigation of collar type and the forces applied to a simulated neck model. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.105681

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...

Effect of mechanical preconditioning on the electrical properties of knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading (2018)
Journal Article
Isaia, C., McNally, D. S., McMaster, S. A., & Branson, D. T. (in press). Effect of mechanical preconditioning on the electrical properties of knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading. Textile Research Journal, https://doi.org/10.1177/0040517517748496

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...

Neonatal head and torso vibration exposure during inter-hospital transfer (2017)
Journal Article
Blaxter, L., Yeo, M., McNally, D., Crowe, J., Henry, C., Hill, S., …Sharkey, D. (2017). Neonatal head and torso vibration exposure during inter-hospital transfer. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 231(2), 99-113. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954411916680235

© 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.
