Recent introduction of wearable single-lead ECG devices of diverse configurations has caught the intrigue of the medical community. While these devices provide a highly affordable support tool for the caregivers for continuous monitoring…
Intracranial EEG (IEEG) is used for 2 main purposes, to determine: (1) if epileptic networks are amenable to focal treatment and (2) where to intervene. Currently these questions are answered qualitatively and sometimes differently across…
Investigation on the electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is an essential way to diagnose heart disease since the ECG process is noninvasive and easy to use. This work presents a supraventricular arrhythmia prediction model consisting of a few…
The present work proposes a computer-aided normal and abnormal heart sound identification based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), it being useful for tele-diagnosis of heart diseases. Due to the presence of Cumulative Frequency…
This review article discusses current technological advances in biomedical devices,emphasizing cardiovascular and ophthalmic application diagnostic,monitoring, and prosthetic instruments and systems. The scope encompasses various aspects,…
In the ever-evolving landscape of medical diagnostics, this study details the systematic design process and concept selection methodology for developing an advanced digital stethoscope, demonstrating the evolution from traditional acoustic…
Ultrasound is an adjunct tool to mammography that can quickly and safely aid physicians with diagnosing breast abnormalities. Clinical ultrasound often assumes a constant sound speed to form B-mode images for diagnosis. However, the various…
Recent advances in material technology and in micro- and nano-electronics have profoundly changed the design of intracranial electrophysiology electrodes. It is now possible to manufacture electrodes that record cortical activity at a…
Echocardiography is an essential medical technique for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, but its high operational complexity has led to a shortage of trained professionals. To address this issue, we introduce a novel probe movement…
We report a method to monitor the setting process of bone-graft substitutes (calcium sulphate) using ultrasonic backscattering techniques. Analyzing the backscattered fields using a pulse-echo technique, we show that it is possible to…
Continuous monitoring of fetal and maternal vital signs, particularly during labor, can be critical for the child and mother's health. We present a novel wearable electronic system that measures, in real-time, maternal heart rate using…
In this paper, we propose a wireless Communicator to manage and enhance a Cardiac Rhythm Management System. The system includes: (1) an on-body wireless Electrocardiogram (ECG), (2) an Intracardiac Electrogram (EGM) embedded inside an…
Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality in the Western world. The mouse is a widely used model for a number of diseases, induced by genetic modification or surgical intervention. When performing experiments in mice, in vivo magnetic…
In the present paper, a new three-scale asymptotic homogenization method is proposed to study the electrical behavior of the cardiac tissue structure with multiple heterogeneities at two different levels. The first level is associated with…
Research has shown that false alarms constitute more than 80% of the alarms triggered in the intensive care unit (ICU). The high false arrhythmia alarm rate has severe implications such as disruption of patient care, caregiver alarm…
Arrhythmias are a major cause of sudden cardiac death in children, making automated rhythm classification from electrocardiograms (ECGs) clinically important. However, pediatric arrhythmia analysis remains challenging because of…
Ventricular Fibrillation is a disorganized electrical excitation of the heart that results in inadequate blood flow to the body. It usually ends in death within seconds. The most common way to treat the symptoms of fibrillation is to…
The electrocardiogram (ECG) records electrical signals in a non-invasive way to observe the condition of the heart, typically looking at the heart from 12 different directions. Several types of the cardiac disease are diagnosed by using…
To address these limitations of optogenetics, here we propose two new methods for optogenetic stimulation. The first is x-optogenetics, which uses visible light-emitting nanophosphors stimulated by focused x-rays. This idea is not new but…
Wearable technologies are envisaged to provide critical support to future healthcare systems. Hearables - devices worn in the ear - are of particular interest due to their ability to provide health monitoring in an efficient, reliable and…
