Respiration is a critical vital sign for infants, and continuous respiratory monitoring is particularly important for newborns. However, neonates are sensitive and contact-based sensors present challenges in comfort, hygiene, and skin…
In this paper, we present two video processing techniques for contact-less estimation of the Respiratory Rate (RR) of framed subjects. Due to the modest extent of movements related to respiration in both infants and adults, specific…
Asthma is becoming a very serious problem with every passing day, especially in children. However, it is very difficult to detect this disorder in them, since the breathing motion of children tends to change when they reach an age of 6.…
Infants' spontaneous and voluntary movements mirror developmental integrity of brain networks since they require coordinated activation of multiple sites in the central nervous system. Accordingly, early detection of infants with atypical…
Early detection of asthma in children is crucial to prevent long-term respiratory complications and reduce emergency interventions. This work presents an AI-powered diagnostic pipeline that leverages Googles Health Acoustic Representations…
Continuous monitoring of respiratory activity is desirable in many clinical applications to detect respiratory events. Non-contact monitoring of respiration can be achieved with near- and far-infrared spectrum cameras. However, current…
Infants' neurological development is heavily influenced by their motor skills. Evaluating a baby's movements is key to understanding possible risks of developmental disorders in their growth. Previous research in psychology has shown that…
An experimental testbed has been constructed to assess the capabilities of Light-Wave Sensing, a promising new vitals monitoring approach. A Light-Wave Sensing apparatus utilizes infrared radiation to contactlessly monitor the subtle…
Breath analysis has emerged as a critical tool in health monitoring, offering insights into respiratory function, disease detection, and continuous health assessment. While traditional contact-based methods are reliable, they often pose…
According to the Lancet report on the global burden of disease published in October 2020, air pollution is among the five highest risk factors for global health, reducing life expectancy on average by 20 months. This paper describes a…
Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder where a person repeatedly stops breathing in sleep. Early detection is crucial for infants because it might bring long term adversities. The existing accurate detection mechanism (pulse oximetry) is a…
Non-contact estimation of respiratory pattern (RP) and respiration rate (RR) has multiple applications. Existing methods for RP and RR measurement fall into one of the three categories - (i) estimation through nasal air flow measurement,…
Recognition of respiratory distress through visual inspection is a life saving clinical skill. Clinicians can detect early signs of respiratory deterioration, creating a valuable window for earlier intervention. In this study, we evaluate…
We present an IoT-based intelligent bed sensor system that collects and analyses respiration-associated signals for unobtrusive monitoring in the home, hospitals and care units. A contactless device is used, which contains four load sensors…
Respiratory ailments are increasing globally at an alarming rate and are currently one of the leading factors of death and infirmity worldwide. Among respiratory diseases, those linked to poor air quality and pollutants are increasing at a…
The rapidly increasing prevalence of debilitating breathing disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), calls for a meaningful integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare. While this promises improved…
Neonatal respiratory distress is a common condition that if left untreated, can lead to short- and long-term complications. This paper investigates the usage of digital stethoscope recorded chest sounds taken within 1min post-delivery, to…
Measuring the respiratory signal from a video based on body motion has been proposed and recently matured in products for video health monitoring. The core algorithm for this measurement is the estimation of tiny chest/abdominal motions…
Non-invasive ventilation is increasingly used for respiratory support in preterm infants, and is associated with a lower risk of chronic lung disease. However, this mode is often not successful in the extremely preterm infant in part due to…
Automated analysis of lung sound auscultation is essential for monitoring respiratory health, especially in regions facing a shortage of skilled healthcare workers. While respiratory sound classification has been widely studied in adults,…
