Sleep posture is linked to several health conditions such as nocturnal cramps and more serious musculoskeletal issues. However, in-clinic sleep assessments are often limited to vital signs (e.g. brain waves). Wearable sensors with embedded…
Modern smart phones are becoming helpful in the areas of Internet-Of-Things (IoT) and ambient health intelligence. By learning data from several mobile sensors, we detect nearness of the human body to a mobile device in a three-dimensional…
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major global health issue which is affecting million people around the world and with increasing rate of mortality. Mitigation of progression of CKD and better patient outcomes requires early detection.…
An estimated 300 million people worldwide suffer from asthma, and this number is expected to increase to 400 million by 2025. Approximately 250,000 people die prematurely each year from asthma out of which, almost all deaths are avoidable.…
Despite continued advancement in machine learning algorithms and increasing availability of large data sets, there is still no universally acceptable solution for automatic sleep staging of human sleep recordings. One reason is that a…
Although the field of sleep study has greatly developed over the recent years, the most common and efficient way to detect sleep issues remains a sleep examination performed in a sleep laboratory, in a procedure called Polysomnography…
Improving human health and well-being requires an accurate and effective understanding of an individual's physical and mental state throughout daily life. To support this goal, we utilized smartphones, smartwatches, and sleep sensors to…
The recent development of smartphone and wearable sensor technologies enable general public to carry self-tracking tasks more easily. Much work has been devoted to life data collection and visualisation to help people with better…
Sleep is restoration process of the body. The efficiency of this restoration process is directly correlated to the amount of time spent at each sleep phase. Hence, automatic tracking of sleep via wearable devices has attracted both the…
Sleep is critical to leading a healthy lifestyle. Each day, most people go to sleep without any idea about how their night's rest is going to be. For an activity that humans spend around a third of their life doing, there is a surprising…
The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) is one of the most-used parameters from the sleep study that allows assessing both the severity of obstructive sleep apnea and the reliability of new devices and methods. However, in many cases, it is compared…
The question of whether insects experience pain has long been debated in neuroscience and animal behavior research. Increasing evidence suggests that insects possess the ability to detect and respond to noxious stimuli, exhibiting behaviors…
Ear disease contributes significantly to global hearing loss, with recurrent otitis media being a primary preventable cause in children, impacting development. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers promise for early diagnosis via otoscopic…
Sleep is important for everyday functioning, overall well-being, and quality of life. Recent advances in wearable sensing technology have enabled continuous, noninvasive, and cost-effective monitoring of sleep patterns in real-world natural…
Early detection of chronic and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) is crucial for effective treatment during the initial stages. This study explores the application of wearable devices and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in order to predict…
Automatic sleep staging typically relies on gold-standard EEG setups, which are accurate but obtrusive and impractical for everyday use outside sleep laboratories. This limits applicability in real-world settings, such as home environments,…
Objectives: The present study evaluated the impact of a commercially available explainable AI algorithm in augmenting the ability of clinicians to identify lung cancer on chest X-rays (CXR). Design: This retrospective study evaluated the…
Sleep apnea is a serious and severely under-diagnosed sleep-related respiration disorder characterized by repeated disrupted breathing events during sleep. It is diagnosed via polysomnography which is an expensive test conducted in a sleep…
Sleep constitutes a key indicator of human health, performance, and quality of life. Sleep deprivation has long been related to the onset, development, and worsening of several mental and metabolic disorders, constituting an essential…
