Cardiotocography (CTG) is the main tool used for fetal monitoring during labour. Interpretation of CTG requires dynamic pattern recognition in real time. It is recognised as a difficult task with high inter- and intra-observer disagreement.…
Atrial fibrillation(termed as AF/Afib henceforth) is a discrete and often rapid heart rhythm that can lead to clots near the heart. We can detect Afib by ECG signal by the absence of p and inconsistent intervals between R waves as shown in…
The high rate of false alarms in intensive care units (ICUs) is one of the top challenges of using medical technology in hospitals. These false alarms are often caused by patients' movements, detachment of monitoring sensors, or different…
While most heart arrhythmias are not immediately harmful, they can lead to severe complications. In particular, atrial fibrillation, the most common arrhythmia, is characterized by fast and irregular heart beats and increases the risk of…
Sleep disorder diagnosis relies on the analysis of polysomnography (PSG) records. As a preliminary step of this examination, sleep stages are systematically determined. In practice, sleep stage classification relies on the visual inspection…
The ageing process may lead to cognitive and physical impairments, which may affect elderly everyday life. In recent years, the use of Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) based on Electroencephalography (EEG) has revealed to be particularly…
The industry of wearable remote health monitoring system keeps growing. In the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, Electrocardiography~(ECG) waveform is one of the major tools which is thus widely taken as the monitoring objective. For the…
Blood Pressure (BP) is one of the four primary vital signs indicating the status of the body's vital (life-sustaining) functions. BP is difficult to continuously monitor using a sphygmomanometer (i.e. a blood pressure cuff), especially in…
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a common and powerful tool to study heart function and diagnose several abnormal arrhythmias. While there have been remarkable improvements in cardiac arrhythmia classification methods, they still cannot…
Sleep is an essential and vital element of a person life and health that helps to refresh and recharge the mind and body of a person. The quality of sleep is very important in every person lifestyle, removing various diseases. Bad sleep is…
This paper presents a novel approach to noninvasive hyperglycemia monitoring utilizing electrocardiograms (ECG) from an extensive database comprising 1119 subjects. Previous research on hyperglycemia or glucose detection using ECG has been…
Sleep disturbances are tightly linked to cardiovascular risk, yet polysomnography (PSG)-the clinical reference standard-remains resource-intensive and poorly suited for multi-night, home-based, and large-scale screening. Single-lead…
We propose a Bayesian model for extracting sleep patterns from smartphone events. Our method is able to identify individuals' daily sleep periods and their evolution over time, and provides an estimation of the probability of sleep and wake…
Objective: Global (inter-patient) ECG classification for arrhythmia detection over Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a challenging task for both humans and machines. The main reason is the significant variations of both normal and…
With the ongoing heart problems of the population worldwide, the medical requirements of the people are expected to increase. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the proven to capture the heart response signal to assess the electrical and…
Gold-standard sleep scoring is based on epoch-based assignment of sleep stages based on a combination of EEG, EOG and EMG signals. However, a polysomnographic recording consists of many other signals that could be used for sleep staging,…
Recent research has focused on the risks associated with poor sitting posture and the impact of sitting on biological parameters, such as heart rate because prolonged sitting is common across all ages and professions. In this work, we…
With tens of thousands of electrocardiogram (ECG) records processed by mobile cardiac event recorders every day, heart rhythm classification algorithms are an important tool for the continuous monitoring of patients at risk. We utilise an…
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a cost-effective and non-invasive technique that utilizes optical methods to measure cardiac physiology. PPG has become increasingly popular in health monitoring and is used in various commercial and clinical…
Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are vital for monitoring cardiac health, enabling the assessment of heart rate variability (HRV), detection of arrhythmias, and diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions. However, ECG signals recorded from wearable…
