Sleep apnea (SA) is a chronic sleep-related disorder consisting of repetitive pauses or restrictions in airflow during sleep and is known to be a risk factor for cerebro- and cardiovascular disease. It is generally diagnosed using…

Asthma is becoming a very serious problem with every passing day, especially in children. However, it is very difficult to detect this disorder in them, since the breathing motion of children tends to change when they reach an age of 6.…

Sulfuric acid aerosol is suspected to be a major contributor to mortality and morbidity associated with air pollution. The objective of the study is to determine if exposure of human participants to anticipated levels of sulfuric acid…

Heart and lung sounds are crucial for healthcare monitoring. Recent improvements in stethoscope technology have made it possible to capture patient sounds with enhanced precision. In this dataset, we used a digital stethoscope to capture…

While physical activity has been described as a primary prevention against chronic diseases, strenuous physical exertion under adverse ambient conditions has also been reported as a major contributor to exacerbation of chronic respiratory…

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by the body's response to an infection. In order to treat patients with sepsis, physicians must control varying dosages of various antibiotics, fluids, and vasopressors based on a large number…

Right heart failure (RHF) is a disease characterized by abnormalities in the structure or function of the right ventricle (RV), which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Lung disease often causes increased right ventricular…

In recent years, WiFi sensing has been recognized as a promising technology to bring respiratory monitoring into everyday homes, thanks to its contactless nature and ubiquitous availability. However, existing WiFi-based respiratory…

Recent research has highlighted the detection of human respiration rate using commodity WiFi devices. Nevertheless, these devices encounter challenges in accurately discerning human respiration amidst the prevailing human motion…

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…

Classification of cognitive workload promises immense benefit in diverse areas ranging from driver safety to augmenting human capability through closed loop brain computer interface. The brain is the most metabolically active organ in the…

Studies have shown that exposure to air pollution, even at low levels, significantly increases mortality. As regulatory actions are becoming prohibitively expensive, robust evidence to guide the development of targeted interventions to…

The COVID-19 epidemic was listed as a public health emergency of international concern by the WHO on January 30, 2020. To curb the secondary spread of the epidemic, many public places were equipped with thermal imagers to check the body…

Air pollution is a serious issue in the world. Around 98% of cities with a population of over 100,000 people in low and middle-income countries do not meet air quality standards, while in high-income countries, the number has decreased by…

Low-cost air quality sensors are becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives as public awareness of air pollution continues to grow, and people take measures to monitor and improve the air they breathe indoors. Besides the standard operation of…

Sleep monitoring provides valuable insights into the general health of an individual and helps in the diagnostic of sleep-derived illnesses. Polysomnography, is considered the gold standard for such task. However, it is very unwieldy and…
