Non-nutritive sucking (NNS), which refers to the act of sucking on a pacifier, finger, or similar object without nutrient intake, plays a crucial role in assessing healthy early development. In the case of preterm infants, NNS behavior is a…
Perinatal stroke (PS) is a serious condition that, if undetected and thus untreated, often leads to life-long disability, in particular Cerebral Palsy (CP). In clinical settings, Prechtl's General Movement Assessment (GMA) can be used to…
Fetal motion discernment utilizing spectral images extracted from accelerometric data incident on pregnant mothers abdomen has gained substantial attention in the state-of-the-art research. It is an essential practice to avoid adverse…
Background: The role of neonatal pain on the developing nervous system is not completely understood, but evidence suggests that sensory pathways are influenced by an infants pain experience. Research has shown that an infants previous pain…
The neonatal period is the most vulnerable time for the development of seizures. Seizures in the immature brain lead to detrimental consequences, therefore require early diagnosis. The gold-standard for neonatal seizure detection currently…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that results in a variety of motor dysfunction symptoms, including tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity and postural instability. The diagnosis of PD mainly relies on clinical…
Early diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an effective and favorable step towards enhancing the health and well-being of children with ASD. Manual ASD diagnosis testing is labor-intensive, complex, and prone to human error due to…
Tremor is a key diagnostic feature of Parkinson's Disease (PD), Essential Tremor (ET), and other central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Clinicians or trained raters assess tremor severity with TETRAS scores by observing patients. Lacking…
Dementia is a neurodegenerative condition that combines several diseases and impacts millions around the world and those around them. Although cognitive impairment is profoundly disabling, it is the noncognitive features of dementia,…
Objective: Birth asphyxia is one of the leading causes of neonatal deaths. A key for survival is performing immediate and continuous quality newborn resuscitation. A dataset of recorded signals during newborn resuscitation, including…
Bedside caregivers assess infants' pain at constant intervals by observing specific behavioral and physiological signs of pain. This standard has two main limitations. The first limitation is the intermittent assessment of pain, which might…
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…
Birth asphyxia is a major newborn mortality problem in low-resource countries. International guideline provides treatment recommendations; however, the importance and effect of the different treatments are not fully explored. The available…
Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMSs) are emerging nanoscale elements at the crossroads between mechanics, optics and electronics, with significant potential for actuation and sensing applications. The reduction of dimensions compared to…
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is characterized by disorders in motor function such as freezing of gait, rest tremor, rigidity, and slowed and hyposcaled movements. Medication with dopaminergic medication may alleviate those motor symptoms,…
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…
Action recognition is an important component to improve autonomy of physical rehabilitation devices, such as wearable robotic exoskeletons. Existing human action recognition algorithms focus on adult applications rather than pediatric ones.…
Humans are able to intuitively deduce actions that took place between two states in observations via deductive reasoning. This is because the brain operates on a bidirectional communication model, which has radically improved the accuracy…
Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used for diagnosing and monitoring arterial diseases, mainly due to the advantages of being non-invasive, radiation-free, and real-time. In order to provide additional information to assist clinicians in…
Video motion magnification techniques allow us to see small motions previously invisible to the naked eyes, such as those of vibrating airplane wings, or swaying buildings under the influence of the wind. Because the motion is small, the…
