In this paper, we propose a new framework to analyze the electrical activity of the uterus recorded by electrohysterography (EHG), from abdominal electrodes (a grid of 4x4 electrodes) during pregnancy and labor. We evaluate the potential…
Preterm labor is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality and has attracted research efforts from many scientific areas. The inter-relationship between uterine contraction and the underlying electrical activities makes uterine…
Premature delivery is a leading cause of fetal death and morbidity, making the prediction and treatment of preterm contractions critical. The electrohysterographic (EHG) signal measures the electrical activity controlling uterine…
The recent past years have seen a noticeable increase of interest in the correlation analysis of electrohysterographic (EHG) signals in the perspective of improving the pregnancy monitoring. Here we propose a new approach based on the…
Complications during pregnancy and labor are common and can be especially detrimental in populations with limited access to healthcare. A promising technology to address these complications is the electrohysterogram (EHG), which measures…
Preterm birth (PTB), defined as delivery before 37 weeks of gestation, is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and long term health complications. Early detection is essential for enabling timely medical interventions. Electrohysterography…
Objective: Stroke is one of the leading causes of disabilities. One promising approach is to extend the rehabilitation with self-initiated robot-assisted movement therapy. To enable this, it is required to detect the patient's intention to…
The study of electroencephalographic (EEG) bursts in preterm infants provides valuable information about maturation or prognostication after perinatal asphyxia. Over the last two decades, a number of works proposed algorithms to…
A key task in clinical EEG interpretation is to classify a recording or session as normal or abnormal. In machine learning approaches to this task, recordings are typically divided into shorter windows for practical reasons, and these…
Windowing is a common technique in EEG machine learning classification and other time series tasks. However, a challenge arises when employing this technique: computational expense inhibits learning global relationships across an entire…
Continuous monitoring of fetal and maternal vital signs, particularly during labor, can be critical for the child and mother's health. We present a novel wearable electronic system that measures, in real-time, maternal heart rate using…
Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important clinical tool for grading injury caused by lack of oxygen or blood to the brain during birth. Characteristics of low-voltage waveforms, known as inter-bursts, are related to different grades of…
Electromyography (EMG) signals have been successfully employed for driving prosthetic limbs of a single or double degree of freedom. This principle works by using the amplitude of the EMG signals to decide between one or two simpler…
Gynaecologists and obstetricians visually interpret cardiotocography (CTG) traces using the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) guidelines to assess the wellbeing of the foetus during antenatal care. This approach…
Epidemiological research supports an association between maternal exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and adverse children's health outcomes. Advances in exposure assessment and statistics allow for estimation of both critical…
Objective. Arrhythmia classification from electrocardiograms (ECGs) suffers from high false positive rates and limited cross-dataset generalization, particularly for atrial fibrillation (AF) detection where specificity ranges from 0.72 to…
The use of deep neural networks in electromyogram (EMG) based prostheses control provides a promising alternative to the hand-crafted features by automatically learning muscle activation patterns from the EMG signals. Meanwhile, the use of…
The timing of human labor is among the most critical determinants of neonatal survival, yet the mechanisms that govern the transition from uterine quiescence to coordinated contractions remain elusive. Here we present a dynamical-systems…
In this paper we are interested in the prediction of preterm birth based on diagnosis codes from longitudinal EHR. We formulate the prediction problem as a supervised classification with noisy labels. Our base classifier is a Recurrent…
Despite broad application during labor and delivery, there remains considerable debate about the value of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM). EFM includes the surveillance of the fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns in conjunction with the…
