Non-invasive at-home monitoring of lung and lung airways health enables the early detection and tracking of respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Various proposed approaches estimate the…
Wearable sensors such as Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are often used to assess the performance of human exercise. Common approaches use handcrafted features based on domain expertise or automatically extracted features using time…
We focus on various measures of the fluctuations of the sequence of intervals between beats of the human heart, and how such fluctuations can be used to assess the presence or likelihood of cardiovascular disease. We examine sixteen such…
Respiratory rate is a vital sign indicating various health conditions. Traditional contact-based measurement methods are often uncomfortable, and alternatives like respiratory belts and smartwatches have limitations in cost and operability.…
Blood pressure (BP) monitoring is vital in daily healthcare, especially for cardiovascular diseases. However, BP values are mainly acquired through the contact sensing method, which is inconvenient and unfriendly to continuous BP…
In the last few decades, several wearable devices have been designed to monitor respiration rate in an effort to capture pulmonary signals with higher accuracy and reduce patients' discomfort during use. In this article, we present the…
The process of human speech production involves coordinated respiratory action to elicit acoustic speech signals. Typically, speech is produced when air is forced from the lungs and is modulated by the vocal tract, where such actions are…
We present a new integrated, portable device to provide a convenient solution for remote monitoring heart rate at the fingertip and body temperature using Ethernet technology and widely spreading internet. Now a days, heart related disease…
During the evacuation of a building, the rapid and accurate tracking of human evacuees can be used by a guide robot to increase the effectiveness of the evacuation [1],[2]. This paper introduces a near real-time human position tracking…
Reality TV shows that follow people in their day-to-day lives are not a new concept. However, the traditional methods used in the industry require a lot of manual labour and need the presence of at least one physical camera man. Because of…
