Introduction: Approximately 23 million or 30% of epilepsy patients worldwide suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). The unpredictability of seizure occurrences, which causes safety issues as well as social concerns, restrict the…
This study investigated the use of deep learning to identify multi-level upper airway collapses in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients based on snoring sounds. We fi-ne-tuned ResNet-50 and Audio Spectrogram Transformer (AST) models using…
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic esophageal disorder marked by eosinophil-dominated inflammation. Diagnosing EoE usually involves endoscopic inspection of the esophageal mucosa and obtaining esophageal biopsies for histologic…
Objective. Deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown unprecedented success in various brain-machine interface applications such as epileptic seizure prediction. However, existing approaches typically train models in a patient-specific fashion…
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder. It is caused by an increased upper airway resistance during sleep, which determines episodes of partial or complete interruption of airflow. The…
Internet of Things (IoT) enabled wearable sensors for health monitoring are widely used to reduce the cost of personal healthcare and improve quality of life. The sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, characterized by the abnormal reduction or…
Objective: Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological diseases among humans and can lead to severe brain injuries, strokes, and brain tumors. Early detection of seizures can help to mitigate injuries, and can be used to aid the…
Implanted devices providing real-time neural activity classification and control are increasingly used to treat neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. Classification performance is critical to identifying brain…
A seizure tracking system is crucial for monitoring and evaluating epilepsy treatments. Caretaker seizure diaries are used in epilepsy care today, but clinical seizure monitoring may miss seizures. Monitoring devices that can be worn may be…
Asthma is a common, usually long-term respiratory disease with negative impact on global society and economy. Treatment involves using medical devices (inhalers) that distribute medication to the airways and its efficiency depends on the…
We present INSPIRE, a top-performing general-purpose method for deformable image registration. INSPIRE brings distance measures which combine intensity and spatial information into an elastic B-splines-based transformation model and…
Accurately diagnosing sleep disorders is essential for clinical assessments and treatments. Polysomnography (PSG) has long been used for detection of various sleep disorders. In this research, electrocardiography (ECG) and electromayography…
In drug-resistant epilepsy, presurgical evaluation of epilepsy can be considered. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) has been shown to be an effective exam to inform the localization of the epileptogenic zone through the localization of…
The gold standard to assess respiration during sleep is polysomnography; a technique that is burdensome, expensive (both in analysis time and measurement costs), and difficult to repeat. Automation of respiratory analysis can improve test…
The prediction of epileptic seizure has always been extremely challenging in medical domain. However, as the development of computer technology, the application of machine learning introduced new ideas for seizure forecasting. Applying…
Sleep apnea is a common respiratory disorder characterized by breathing pauses during the night. Consequences of untreated sleep apnea can be severe. Still, many people remain undiagnosed due to shortages of hospital beds and trained sleep…
Accurate and robust medical image classification is paramount for early disease diagnosis and treatment planning. However, challenges such as limited annotated data, high intra-class variability, and subtle inter-class differences often…
In this paper, we introduce SeizNet, a closed-loop system for predicting epileptic seizures through the use of Deep Learning (DL) method and implantable sensor networks. While pharmacological treatment is effective for some epilepsy…
Endoscopic depth estimation is a critical technology for improving the safety and precision of minimally invasive surgery. It has attracted considerable attention from researchers in medical imaging, computer vision, and robotics. Over the…
