Using mobile phone video of the fingertip as a data source for estimating vital signs such as heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) during daily life has long been suggested. While existing literature indicates that these estimates are…

Respiratory airflow signals provide critical insight into breathing mechanics, yet conventional analysis methods remain limited in their ability to characterize the internal structure of individual breaths. Traditional approaches treat…

We propose DeepBreath, a deep learning model which automatically recognises people's psychological stress level (mental overload) from their breathing patterns. Using a low cost thermal camera, we track a person's breathing patterns as…

The process of human speech production involves coordinated respiratory action to elicit acoustic speech signals. Typically, speech is produced when air is forced from the lungs and is modulated by the vocal tract, where such actions are…

Several therapy routines require deep breathing exercises as a key component and patients undergoing such therapies must perform these exercises regularly. Assessing the outcome of a therapy and tailoring its course necessitates monitoring…

Proliferation of cheap and accessible cameras makes it possible to measure a subject's breath rate from video footage alone. Recent works on this topic have proposed a variety of approaches for accurately measuring human breath rate,…

Acoustic analyses of infant vocalizations are valuable for research on speech development as well as applications in sound classification. Previous studies have focused on measures of acoustic features based on theories of speech…

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.…

Deviations in respiratory rate often precede abnormalities in other vital signs. However, continuously monitoring respiratory rates outside clinical settings remains challenging due to the obtrusive nature and sensitivity to body motions in…

Measuring the respiratory signal from a video based on body motion has been proposed and recently matured in products for video health monitoring. The core algorithm for this measurement is the estimation of tiny chest/abdominal motions…

Breathing disorders such as sleep apnea is a critical disorder that affects a large number of individuals due to the insufficient capacity of the lungs to contain/exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide to ensure that the body is in the stable…

Infants' neurological development is heavily influenced by their motor skills. Evaluating a baby's movements is key to understanding possible risks of developmental disorders in their growth. Previous research in psychology has shown that…

We present an IoT-based intelligent bed sensor system that collects and analyses respiration-associated signals for unobtrusive monitoring in the home, hospitals and care units. A contactless device is used, which contains four load sensors…

Birth asphyxia is a major newborn mortality problem in low-resource countries. International guideline provides treatment recommendations; however, the importance and effect of the different treatments are not fully explored. The available…

Assessment of spontaneous movements can predict the long-term developmental disorders in high-risk infants. In order to develop algorithms for automated prediction of later disorders, highly precise localization of segments and joints by…

Background: Pneumonia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children worldwide, emphasizing the need for accurate and efficient diagnostic support tools. Deep learning has shown strong potential in medical image analysis,…

Most existing cry detection models have been tested with data collected in controlled settings. Thus, the extent to which they generalize to noisy and lived environments is unclear. In this paper, we evaluate several established machine…

Malnutrition among newborns is a top public health concern in developing countries. Identification and subsequent growth monitoring are key to successful interventions. However, this is challenging in rural communities where health systems…

Preterm babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) have to undergo continuous monitoring of their cardiac health. Conventional monitoring approaches are contact-based, making the neonates prone to various nosocomial infections.…

Breathing is one of the most important body functions because it provides it with oxygen, which is vital for energy production. In addition, the removal of carbon dioxide actively regulates the acid-base level, which is essential for the…
