			<description><![CDATA[FDA-mandated design controls for medical devices provide a structured, systematic engineering paradigm that supports human-centered systems engineering. Engineering design controls are nothing more than the fundamental elements of classical systems engineering. The human focus is enabled through the iterative reidentification of stakeholders, reassessment of their NWDs, and reconciliation of their evolving/conflicting NWDs. The implementation of design controls and embedded risk management must begin prior to commercial development to reap the full benefit of the approach; partial approaches dilute or negate the effectiveness and efficiency of this nearly century-old systems engineering paradigm. Properly employing engineering design controls is a strategic business decision. The central value of this proposition is the reduction of economic, technical, and operational risks for both producers and consumers; regulatory compliance is a secondary benefit. Misuse or abuse of design controls only undermines long-term profitability and increases the risks to the consumer.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Rehabilitation Exoskeletal Robotics]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?isnumber=5462983&arnumber=5462998]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[Exoskeletons are wearable robots exhibiting a close cognitive and physical interaction with the human user. These are rigid robotic exoskeletal structures that typically operate alongside human limbs. Scientific and technological work on exoskeletons began in the early 1960s but have only recently been applied to rehabilitation and functional substitution in patients suffering from motor disorders. Key topics for further development of exoskeletons in rehabilitation scenarios include the need for robust human-robot multimodal cognitive interaction, safe and dependable physical interaction, true wearability and portability, and user aspects such as acceptance and usability. This discussion provides an overview of these aspects and draws conclusions regarding potential future research directions in robotic exoskeletons.]]></description>
