An algorithm based on PLS regression has been developed and optimized for measuring blood glucose level using the infra-red transmission spectrum of blood samples. A set of blood samples were tagged with their glucose concentration using an…
Photoplethysmography (PPG) devices are widely used for monitoring cardiovascular function. However, these devices require skin contact, which restrict their use to at-rest short-term monitoring using single-point measurements.…
Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy has demonstrated a strong aptitude for identifying and differentiating biological tissues. However, the broadband and smooth nature of these signals require algorithmic processing, as they are often…
In this study, we make non-invasive, remote, passive measurements of the heart beat frequency and determine the map of blood pulsation intensity in a region of interest (ROI) of skin. The ROI used was the forearm of a volunteer. The method…
Deviations in respiratory rate often precede abnormalities in other vital signs. However, continuously monitoring respiratory rates outside clinical settings remains challenging due to the obtrusive nature and sensitivity to body motions in…
Optical spectroscopy techniques such as differential reflectance and transmittance have proven to be very powerful techniques to study 2D materials. However, a thorough description of the experimental setups needed to carry out these…
Quantitative ultrasound, e.g., speed-of-sound (SoS) in tissues, provides information about tissue properties that have diagnostic value. Recent studies showed the possibility of extracting SoS information from pulse-echo ultrasound raw data…
Respiratory ailments afflict a wide range of people and manifests itself through conditions like asthma and sleep apnea. Continuous monitoring of chronic respiratory ailments is seldom used outside the intensive care ward due to the large…
A photoacoustic (PA) sensor for spectroscopic measurements of NO$_2$-N$_2$ at ambient pressure and temperature is demonstrated. The PA sensor is pumped resonantly by a nanosecond pulsed single-mode mid-infrared (MIR) optical parametric…
Spare representation of signals has received significant attention in recent years. Based on these developments, a sparse representation-based classification (SRC) has been proposed for a variety of classification and related tasks,…
Respiratory rate (RR) is a clinical metric used to assess overall health and physical fitness. An individual's RR can change from their baseline due to chronic illness symptoms (e.g., asthma, congestive heart failure), acute illness (e.g.,…
Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), a family of techniques for monitoring blood volume changes, may be especially useful for widespread contactless health monitoring using face video from consumer-grade visible-light cameras. The COVID-19…
This study proposes a sensing method using a millimeter-wave array radar and a depth camera to measure pulse waves at multiple sites on the human body. Using a three-dimensional shape model of the target human body measured by the depth…
We propose a new method to detect off-pulse (unpulsed and/or continuous) emission from pulsars, using the intensity modulations associated with interstellar scintillation. Our technique involves obtaining the dynamic spectra, separately for…
Pulse wave analysis is an important method used to gather information about the cardiovascular system. Instead of detecting the pulse wave via pressure sensors, bioimpedance measurements can be performed to acquire minuscule changes in the…
Dynamic optical sensors, as those based on the reflectivity of isotropic dielectrical interfaces, can be useful for measuring small changes in the refractive index of fluid media. Exact and approximated explicit formulas for their…
Paediatric obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is clinically significant yet difficult to diagnose, as children poorly tolerate sensor-based polysomnography. Acoustic monitoring provides a non-invasive alternative for home-based OSA screening,…
Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a method for measuring a subjects heart rate remotely using a camera. Factors such as subject movement, ambient light level, makeup etc. complicate such measurements by distorting the observed pulse.…
High-rank line-of-sight (LOS) MIMO systems have attracted considerable attention for millimeter wave and THz communications. The small wavelengths in these frequencies enable spatial multiplexing with massive data rates at long distances.…
Detection of desaturations on the pulse oximetry signal is of great importance for the diagnosis of sleep apneas. Using the counting of desaturations, an index can be built to help in the diagnosis of severe cases of obstructive sleep…
