This study addresses the classification of heartbeats from ECG signals through two distinct approaches: traditional machine learning utilizing hand-crafted features and deep learning via transformed images of ECG beats. The dataset…
Phonocardiography has recently gained popularity in low-cost and remote monitoring, including passive fetal heart monitoring. Development for methods which analyse phonocardiographical data try to capitalize on this opportunity, and in…
Wearable devices enable theoretically continuous, longitudinal monitoring of physiological measurements like step count, energy expenditure, and heart rate. Although the classification of abnormal cardiac rhythms such as atrial fibrillation…
Heartbeat interval can be detected from ballistocardiogram (BCG) signals in a non-contact manner. Conventional methods achieved heartbeat detection from different perspectives, where template matching (TM) and deep learning (DL) were based…
Frailty is a geriatric syndrome associated with the lack of physiological reserve and consequent adverse outcomes (therapy complications and death) in older adults. Recent research has shown associations between heart rate (HR) dynamics (HR…
Despite of the pain and limited accuracy of blood tests for early recognition of cardiovascular disease, they dominate risk screening and triage. On the other hand, heart rate variability is non-invasive and cheap, but not considered…
Using mobile phone video of the fingertip as a data source for estimating vital signs such as heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) during daily life has long been suggested. While existing literature indicates that these estimates are…
Heart rate recovery (HRR) within the initial minute following exercise is a widely utilized metric for assessing cardiac autonomic function in individuals and predicting mortality risk in patients with cardiovascular disease. However,…
Arrhythmia, an abnormal cardiac rhythm, is one of the most common types of cardiac disease. Automatic detection and classification of arrhythmia can be significant in reducing deaths due to cardiac diseases. This work proposes a multi-class…
We focus on various measures of the fluctuations of the sequence of intervals between beats of the human heart, and how such fluctuations can be used to assess the presence or likelihood of cardiovascular disease. We examine sixteen such…
With the soaring adoption of in-ear wearables, the research community has started investigating suitable in-ear heart rate (HR) detection systems. HR is a key physiological marker of cardiovascular health and physical fitness. Continuous…
Multiresolution Wavelet Transform and Detrended Fluctuation Analysis have been recently proven as excellent methods in the analysis of Heart Rate Variability, and in distinguishing between healthy subjects and patients with various…
We present a method, referred to as Deep Harmonic Finesse (DHF), for separation of non-stationary quasi-periodic signals when limited data is available. The problem frequently arises in wearable systems in which, a combination of…
Blood Pressure (BP) and Heart Rate (HR) provide information on clin-ical condition along 24h. Both signals present circadian changes due to sympa-thetic/parasympathetic control system that influence the relationship between them. Moreover,…
Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm disorder associated with deadly and debilitating consequences including heart failure, stroke, poor mental health, reduced quality of life and death. Having an automatic system…
Efficient management of low blood pressure (BP) in preterm neonates remains challenging with a considerable variability in clinical practice. The ability to assess preterm wellbeing during episodes of low BP will help to decide when and…
Fluctuations in heart rate are intimately tied to changes in the physiological state of the organism. We examine and exploit this relationship by classifying a human subject's wake/sleep status using his instantaneous heart rate (IHR)…
In medical science, it is very important to gather multiple data on different diseases and one of the most important objectives of the data is to investigate the diseases. Myocardial infarction is a serious risk factor in mortality and in…
Scaling analysis of heart rate time series has emerged as an useful tool for assessment of autonomic cardiac control. We investigate the heart rate time series of ten athletes (five males and five females), by applying detrended fluctuation…
Deep learning models for atrial fibrillation (AF) detection are increasingly trained on heterogeneous electrocardiogram (ECG) datasets with varying sampling frequencies, yet the specific consequences of these discrepancies on model…
