Sleep disturbances are tightly linked to cardiovascular risk, yet polysomnography (PSG)-the clinical reference standard-remains resource-intensive and poorly suited for multi-night, home-based, and large-scale screening. Single-lead…
Biometric authentication prospered because of its convenient use and security. Early generations of biometric mechanisms suffer from spoofing attacks. Recently, unobservable physiological signals (e.g., Electroencephalogram,…
The availability of commercial wearable trackers equipped with features to monitor sleep duration and quality has enabled more useful sleep health monitoring applications and analyses. However, much research has reported the challenge of…
Hypertension is a medical condition characterized by high blood pressure, and classifying it into its various stages is crucial to managing the disease. In this project, a novel method is proposed for classifying stages of hypertension…
Cardiac abnormalities affecting heart rate and rhythm are commonly observed in both healthy and acutely unwell people. Although many of these are benign, they can sometimes indicate a serious health risk. ECG monitors are typically used to…
Non-contact facial video-based heart rate estimation using remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) has shown great potential in many applications (e.g., remote health care) and achieved creditable results in constrained scenarios. However,…
The use of photoplethysmogram signal (PPG) for heart and sleep monitoring is commonly found nowadays in smartphones and wrist wearables. Besides common usages, it has been proposed and reported that person information can be extracted from…
In order to obtain insights into the feasibility of replacing ECG-guided triggering in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by a system based on video photoplethysmography (PPG), PPG and ECG data were collected from volunteers in an MRI…
Study Objectives: Polysomnography (PSG) currently serves as the benchmark for evaluating sleep disorders. Its discomfort makes long-term monitoring unfeasible, leading to bias in sleep quality assessment. Hence, less invasive,…
Sleep behaviour and in-bed movements contain rich information on the neurophysiological health of people, and have a direct link to the general well-being and quality of life. Standard clinical practices rely on polysomnography for sleep…
This work proposes for the first time to utilize the regular smartphone -- a popular assistive gadget -- to design a novel, non-invasive method for self-monitoring of one's hydration level on a scale of 1 to 4. The proposed method involves…
We propose a Bayesian model for extracting sleep patterns from smartphone events. Our method is able to identify individuals' daily sleep periods and their evolution over time, and provides an estimation of the probability of sleep and wake…
Objectives: This study examines human Photoplethysmogram (PPG) along with Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals to study cardiac autonomic imbalance in epileptic seizures. The significance and the prevalence of changes in PPG morphological…
Much attention has been given to automatic sleep staging algorithms in past years, but the detection of discrete events in sleep studies is also crucial for precise characterization of sleep patterns and possible diagnosis of sleep…
Diabetes is a prevalent chronic condition that compromises the health of millions of people worldwide. Minimally invasive methods are needed to prevent and control diabetes but most devices for measuring glucose levels are invasive and not…
The System to Augment Restorative Sleep (StARS) is a modular hardware/software platform designed for real-time sleep monitoring and intervention. Utilizing the compact DCM biosignal device, StARS captures electrophysiological signals (EEG,…
An electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is currently accepted as a standard for automatic sleep staging. Lately, Near-human accuracy in automated sleep staging has been achievable by Deep Learning (DL) based approaches, enabling multi-fold…
Automation of sleep analysis, including both macrostructural (sleep stages) and microstructural (e.g., sleep spindles) elements, promises to enable large-scale sleep studies and to reduce variance due to inter-rater incongruencies. While…
Human sleep is cyclical with a period of approximately 90 minutes, implying long temporal dependency in the sleep data. Yet, exploring this long-term dependency when developing sleep staging models has remained untouched. In this work, we…
Sleep is a complex physiological process evaluated through various modalities recording electrical brain, cardiac, and respiratory activities. We curate a large polysomnography dataset from over 14,000 participants comprising over 100,000…
