Wearable technology and workplace epidemiology: a practical example from the field of hand-arm vibration (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M. (2019, April). Wearable technology and workplace epidemiology: a practical example from the field of hand-arm vibration. Poster presented at The 12th UK/Ireland 1-day Meeting on Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology, Surgeons' Hall Museums, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

This work investigates the application of wearable technology for the collection of exposure data relevant to the study of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome. Wearable technology designed for mass adoption coupled with the IoT has yielded a unique data set...

A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure. (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M., Oliver, C., & Bayram, J. (2018, September). A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure. Presented at 53rd United Kingdom Conference on Human Responses to Vibration, Ascot, UK

Cycling infrastructure and, in particular, a well maintained pavement surface contributes to a safe and comfortable ride. However, defective pavement surfaces and insufficient maintenance can expose cyclists to excessive hand-arm vibration. Limited... Read More about A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure..

Assessing correlation of human response to vibration through vibrotactile threshold shift with vibration exposure determined on the subject (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maeda, S., Taylor, M. D., Anderson, L., & Mclaughlin, J. (2018, September). Assessing correlation of human response to vibration through vibrotactile threshold shift with vibration exposure determined on the subject. Presented at 53rd UK Conference on Human Responses to Vibration (UK HRV), Ascot, United Kingdom

Existing risk assessment methodologies are based on fixed tool vibration magnitude emission data and tool usage time. The research evaluates the relationship between vibration dose assessment on subjects using wearable sensors with temporary threshol...

Is it efffective to prevent HAVS by using tool vibration declaration values? (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maeda, S., Taylor, M., Anderson, L., & McLaughlin, J. (2018, August). Is it efffective to prevent HAVS by using tool vibration declaration values?. Presented at The 26th Japan Conference of Human Response to Vibration (JCHRV2018), Kindai University, Osaka, Japan

This study reports the results of an investigation into A(8) based on tool vibration declaration values evaluation effects of hand-transmitted vibration on temporary threshold shifts of vibratory sensation on the finger. The hand-transmitted vibratio... Read More about Is it efffective to prevent HAVS by using tool vibration declaration values?.
