Aortic valve opening (AO) events are crucial for detecting frequency and rhythm disorders, especially in real-world settings where seismocardiography (SCG) signals collected via consumer smartphones are subject to noise, motion artifacts,…
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a widely adopted, non-invasive technique for monitoring cardiovascular health and physiological parameters in both consumer and clinical settings. While motion artifacts in dynamic environments have been…
Objective: Dyspnea is one of the most common symptoms for many pulmonary diseases including COVID-19. Clinical assessment of dyspnea is mainly performed by subjective self-report, which has limited accuracy and is challenging for continuous…
Facial video-based remote physiological measurement aims to estimate remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) signals from human face videos and then measure multiple vital signs (e.g. heart rate, respiration frequency) from rPPG signals. Recent…
Early screening of patients is a critical issue in order to assess immediate and fast responses against the spread of COVID-19. The use of nasopharyngeal swabs has been considered the most viable approach; however, the result is not…
Objective: To conduct a proof-of-concept study of the detection of two synthetic models of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) using polarimetric imaging. Methods: Two SARS-CoV-2 models were prepared as engineered…
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated research on design of alternative, quick and effective COVID-19 diagnosis approaches. In this paper, we describe the Coswara tool, a website application designed to enable COVID-19 detection by…
Biometric measurements captured from medical devices, such as blood pressure gauges, glucose monitors, and weighing scales, are essential to tracking a patient's health. Trends in these measurements can accurately track diabetes,…
Unaddressed pain in neonates can lead to adverse effects, including delayed development and slower weight gain, emphasising the need for more objective and reliable pain assessment methods. Hence, automated methods using behavioural and…
Thispaper presents the design and realization of a context-aware wireless health monitoring system for recording the heartbeat (HR) and respiration (RR) rate based on an indirect measurement approach. The system consists of a contact-less…
The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been found rapid and large-scale diagnosis to spread across the communities. The risk of infectious airborne aerosol transmission has been…
Portable physiological monitoring is essential for early detection and management of cardiovascular disease, but current methods often require specialized equipment that limits accessibility or impose impractical postures that patients…
