Breath is a significant component in singing performance, which is still underresearched in most singing-related music interfaces. In this paper, we present a multimodal system that detects the learner's singing pitch and breathing states…
People often recognize what triggered their stress only after the moment has passed. In therapy, this can become a recurring problem: clients are asked to remember what happened between sessions, but the details that matter (where they…
This paper introduces a vibrotactile belt for interpersonal synchronization of breath. It can synchronize the breathing tempo of two people by transferring breathing rhythm of one user to vibration signals of another belt, where the depth…
We engineered an interactive music system that influences a user's breathing rate to induce a relaxation response. This system generates ambient music containing periodic shifts in loudness that are determined by the user's own breathing…
Stress is considered to be the epidemic of the 21st-century. Yet, mobile apps cannot directly evaluate the impact of their content and services on user stress. We introduce the Beam AI SDK to address this issue. Using our SDK, apps can…
Anxiety is a common health issue that can occur throughout one's existence. In this pilot study we explore an alternative technique to regulate it: biofeedback. The long-term objective is to offer an ecological device that could help people…
Lifelogging has become a prominent research topic in recent years. Wearable sensors like Fitbits and smart watches are now increasingly popular for recording ones activities. Some researchers are also exploring keystroke dynamics for…
Wearable devices have revolutionized healthcare monitoring, allowing us to track physiological conditions without disrupting daily routines. Whereas monitoring physical health and physical activities have been widely studied, their…
Body sounds provide rich information about the state of the human body and can be useful in many medical applications. Auscultation, the practice of listening to body sounds, has been used for centuries in respiratory and cardiac medicine…
Recognition of respiratory distress through visual inspection is a life saving clinical skill. Clinicians can detect early signs of respiratory deterioration, creating a valuable window for earlier intervention. In this study, we evaluate…
The ability of sensing breathing is becoming an increasingly important function for technology that aims at supporting both psychological and physical wellbeing. We demonstrate ThermSense, a new breathing sensing platform based on…
Detecting unsafe driving states, such as stress, drowsiness, and fatigue, is an important component of ensuring driving safety and an essential prerequisite for automatic intervention systems in vehicles. These concerning conditions are…
This paper presents an unobtrusive solution that can automatically identify deep breath when a person is walking past the global depth camera. Existing non-contact breath assessments achieve satisfactory results under restricted conditions…
The advent of IoT has enabled the design of connected and integrated smart health monitoring systems. These smart health monitoring systems could be realized in a smart home context to render long-term care to the elderly population. In…
The developed system using a mobile electronic device for monitoring and warnings of heart problems, when the heart rate is outside the nominal range, which ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Also, a system has been developed to save…
Commercial wearables from Fitbit, Garmin, and Whoop have recently introduced real-time notifications based on detecting changes in physiological responses indicating potential stress. In this paper, we investigate how these new capabilities…
Breath with nose sound features has been shown as a potential biometric in personal identification and verification. In this paper, we show that information that comes from other modalities captured by motion sensors on the chest in…
In this paper we present an electronic system to perform a non-invasive measurement of the blood pressure based on the oscillometric method, which does not suffer from the limitations of the well-known auscultatory one. Moreover the…
Mindfulness training is widely recognized for its benefits in reducing depression, anxiety, and loneliness. With the rise of smartphone-based mindfulness apps, digital meditation has become more accessible, but sustaining long-term user…
Psychological distress is a significant and growing issue in society. Automatic detection, assessment, and analysis of such distress is an active area of research. Compared to modalities such as face, head, and vocal, research investigating…
