Article Abstract

Machine-learning assisted handwriting recognition is crucial for development of next-generation biometric technologies. However, most of the currently reported handwriting recognition systems are lacking in flexible sensing and machine learning capabilities, both of which are essential for implementation of intelligent systems. Herein, assisted by machine learning, we develop a new handwriting recognition system, which can be applied as both a recognizer for written texts and an encryptor for confidential information. This flexible and intelligent handwriting recognition system combines a printed circuit board with graphene oxide-based hydrogel sensors. It offers fast response and good sensitivity and allows high-precision recognition of handwritten content from a single letter to words and signatures. By analyzing 690 acquired handwritten signatures obtained from seven participants, we successfully demonstrate a fast recognition time (less than 1 s) and a high recognition rate (∼91.30%). Our developed handwriting recognition system has great potential in advanced human-machine interactions, wearable communication devices, soft robotics manipulators, and augmented virtual reality.

Introduction: The transition from proprietary, paper-based care transition records (CTRs) to standardized digital formats like HL7 FHIR remains a significant challenge for healthcare institutions. Variability in document layouts, coupled with slow adoption of new interoperability standards, complicates efforts to digitize patient records while preserving data integrity and privacy.

Methods: This study presents a machine learning-based pipeline for automated information extraction from scanned CTRs.

Dual-Network Conductive Eutectogels with Enhanced Stretchability and Stability for Flexible Sensing.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

August 2025

Center for Molecular Science and Engineering, College of Science, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, P. R. China.

This study presents a dual-network composite gel synthesized from polyacrylamide (PAM), polysaccharides (sodium alginate/xanthan gum), and deep eutectic solvents (DES), demonstrating enhanced performance for flexible strain sensors. The composite gel incorporated a gallium-indium alloy (EGaIn) as a conductive filler to enable high stretchability, mechanical toughness, and superior electrical properties. The gel fabrication employed a solvent substitution strategy wherein water content was systematically replaced by DES, ensuring nonvolatility and structural stability.

Written language production is a fundamental aspect of daily communication, yet the neural pathways supporting it are far less studied than those for spoken language production. This study evaluated the contributions of speech-production pathways to written word production, specifically focusing on the central processes of word spelling rather than the motor production processes that support handwriting. Seventy-three English-speaking, neurotypical adults completed a spelling-to-dictation task and underwent diffusion MRI scans.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems play a crucial role in converting printed Arabic text into digital formats, enabling various applications such as education and digital archiving. However, the complex characteristics of the Arabic script, including its cursive nature, diacritical marks, handwriting, and ligatures, present significant challenges for accurate character recognition. This study proposes a hybrid transformer encoder-based model for Arabic printed and handwritten character classification.
