This paper describes the adaptation of an open-source ecological momentary assessment smart-watch platform with three sets of micro-survey wellness-related questions focused on i) infectious disease (COVID-19) risk perception, ii) privacy…
Machine learning (ML) applied to routine patient monitoring within intensive care units (ICUs) has the potential to improve care by providing clinicians with novel insights into each patient's health and expected response to interventions.…
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…
Auscultation for neonates is a simple and non-invasive method of providing diagnosis for cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Such diagnosis often requires high-quality heart and lung sounds to be captured during auscultation. However,…
This project develops and trains a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that monitors sleeping infants from an auxiliary microphone for cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), manifested in sudden or gradual respiratory arrest. To minimize…
Contemporary patient surveillance systems have streamlined central surveillance into the electronic health record interface. They are able to process the sheer volume of patient data by adopting machine learning approaches. However, these…
This study introduces the development of a state of the art, real time ECG monitoring and analysis system, incorporating cutting edge medical technology and innovative data security measures. Our system performs three distinct functions…
Early and reliable detection of heart murmurs is essential for the timely diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, yet traditional auscultation remains subjective and dependent on expert interpretation. This work investigates artificial…
In this paper, we evaluate deep learning-enabled AED systems against evasion attacks based on adversarial examples. We test the robustness of multiple security critical AED tasks, implemented as CNNs classifiers, as well as existing…
In a multi-speaker "cocktail party" scenario, a listener can selectively attend to a speaker of interest. Studies into the human auditory attention network demonstrate cortical entrainment to speech envelopes resulting in highly correlated…
Many promising applications of multimodal wearables require continuous sensing and heavy computation, yet users reject such devices due to privacy concerns. This paper shares our experiences building an ear-mounted voice-and-vision wearable…
Autonomous vehicles (AVs), equipped with numerous sensors such as camera, LiDAR, radar, and ultrasonic sensor, are revolutionizing the transportation industry. These sensors are expected to sense reliable information from a physical…
Electroencephalography (EEG) is widely used for recording brain activity and has seen numerous applications in machine learning, such as detecting sleep stages and neurological disorders. Several studies have successfully shown the…
Bedside monitors in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) frequently sound incorrectly, slowing response times and desensitising nurses to alarms (Chambrin, 2001), causing true alarms to be missed (Hug et al., 2011). We compare sliding window…
The rapid dissemination and adoption of smart speakers has enabled substantial opportunities to improve human health. Just as the introduction of the mobile phone led to considerable health innovation, smart speaker computing systems carry…
Infant sleep is critical to brain and behavioral development. Prior studies on infant sleep/wake classification have been largely limited to reliance on expensive and burdensome polysomnography (PSG) tests in the laboratory or wearable…
This paper proposes and implements an intuitive and pervasive solution for neonatal EEG monitoring assisted by sonification and deep learning AI that provides information about neonatal brain health to all neonatal healthcare professionals,…
Recent studies show edge computing-based road anomaly detection systems which may also conduct data collection simultaneously. However, the edge computers will have small data storage but we need to store the collected audio samples for a…
Voice controlled devices and services have become very popular in the consumer IoT. Cloud-based speech analysis services extract information from voice inputs using speech recognition techniques. Services providers can thus build very…
Body sounds provide rich information about the state of the human body and can be useful in many medical applications. Auscultation, the practice of listening to body sounds, has been used for centuries in respiratory and cardiac medicine…
