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…
Non-nutritive sucking (NNS), which refers to the act of sucking on a pacifier, finger, or similar object without nutrient intake, plays a crucial role in assessing healthy early development. In the case of preterm infants, NNS behavior is a…
Sleep apnea (SA) is a significant respiratory condition that poses a major global health challenge. Previous studies have investigated several machine and deep learning models for electrocardiogram (ECG)-based SA diagnoses. Despite these…
The increasingly sophisticated at-home screening systems for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), integrated with both contactless and contact-based sensing modalities, bring convenience and reliability to remote chronic disease management.…
Objective: The aim of the study is to develop a novel method for improved diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in clinical or home settings, with the focus on achieving diagnostic performance comparable to the…
We present an automatic non-invasive way of detecting cough events based on both accelerometer and audio signals. The acceleration signals are captured by a smartphone firmly attached to the patient's bed, using its integrated…
We introduce an entropy-based classification method for pairs of sequences (ECPS) for quantifying mutual dependencies in heart rate and beat-to-beat blood pressure recordings. The purpose of the method is to build a classifier for data in…
Quality sleep is very important for a healthy life. Nowadays, many people around the world are not getting enough sleep which is having negative impacts on their lifestyles. Studies are being conducted for sleep monitoring and have now…
Sleep disorders are very widespread in the world population and suffer from a generalized underdiagnosis, given the complexity of their diagnostic methods. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in developing simpler screening methods.…
Pneumonia is the leading cause of death among young children and one of the top mortality causes worldwide. The pneumonia detection is usually performed through examine of chest X-ray radiograph by highly-trained specialists. This process…
Action recognition is an important component to improve autonomy of physical rehabilitation devices, such as wearable robotic exoskeletons. Existing human action recognition algorithms focus on adult applications rather than pediatric ones.…
Light sleep is a sleeping period which occurs within each hour during the sleep. This is the period when people are closest to awakening. With this being the case people tend to move more frequently and aggressively during these periods.…
Non-intrusive monitoring of vital signs has become increasingly important in a variety of healthcare settings. In this paper, we present PulseFi, a novel low-cost non-intrusive system that uses Wi-Fi sensing and artificial intelligence to…
In a clinical setting, epilepsy patients are monitored via video electroencephalogram (EEG) tests. A video EEG records what the patient experiences on videotape while an EEG device records their brainwaves. Currently, there are no existing…
In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the non-contact based detection of the respiration rate from video sequences. Common techniques either directly assess the movement of the chest due to breathing or are based on…
Dementia is a neurodegenerative condition that combines several diseases and impacts millions around the world and those around them. Although cognitive impairment is profoundly disabling, it is the noncognitive features of dementia,…
Driving support systems, such as car navigation systems are becoming common and they support driver in several aspects. Non-intrusive method of detecting Fatigue and drowsiness based on eye-blink count and eye directed instruction…
This project introduces a wearable, non-intrusive device for snoring detection and remediation, designed to be placed under or alongside a pillow. The device uses sensors and machine learning algorithms to detect snoring and employs gentle…
This paper explores using RSS measurements on many links in a wireless network to estimate the breathing rate of a person, and the location where the breathing is occurring, in a home, while the person is sitting, laying down, standing, or…
Contact-free detection of human vital signs like heart rate and respiration rate will improve the patients' comfort and enables long-term monitoring of newborns or bedridden patients. For that, reliable and safe measurement techniques are…
