High Intraocular Pressure Detection from Frontal Eye Images: A Machine Learning Based Approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents a novel framework to detect the status of intraocular pressure (normal/high) using solely frontal eye image analysis. The framework is based on machine learning approaches to extract six features from frontal eye images. These fea...

Cancer Type Prediction and Classification Based on RNA-sequencing Data.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Pan-cancer analysis is a significant research topic in the past few years. Due to many advancing sequencing technologies, researchers possess more resources and knowledge to identify the key factors that could trigger cancer. Furthermore, since The C...

Improving Young Stroke Prediction by Learning with Active Data Augmenter in a Large-Scale Electronic Medical Claims Database.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Electronic medical claims (EMC) database has been successfully used for predicting occurrences of stroke and a variety of other diseases. However, inadequate predictive performances have been observed in cases of rare occurrences due to both insuffic...

Evaluation of a Visual Localization System for Environment Awareness in Assistive Devices.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A major hurdle for the widespread use of wearable assistive devices is determining, moment-by-moment, the control mode appropriate for a given terrain when faced with a complex, multi-terrain environment. Current control strategies focus mainly on me...

Investigating Upper Limb Movement Classification on Users with Tetraplegia as a Possible Neuroprosthesis Interface.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke and other nervous system conditions can result in partial or total paralysis of individual's limbs. Numerous technologies have been proposed to assist neurorehabilitation or movement restoration, e.g. robotics or neur...

Smart Data Analytics approach to model Complex Biochemical Oscillations in Hippocampal Neurons.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Calcium spiking can be used for drug screening studies in pharmaceutical industries. However, performing experiments for multiple drugs and doses are highly expensive. The oscillatory behavior of calcium spiking data demonstrates extreme nonlinearity...

Thermal Camera Based Physiological Monitoring with an Assistive Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents a physiological monitoring system for assistive robots using a thermal camera. It is based on the detection of subtle changes in temperature observed on different parts of the face. First, we segment and estimate these face region...

Medhere: A Smartwatch-based Medication Adherence Monitoring System using Machine Learning and Distributed Computing.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Poor medication adherence threatens an individual's health and is responsible for substantial medical costs in the United States annually. In order to improve medication adherence rates and provide timely reminders, we developed a smartwatch applicat...

Early Identification of Patentable Medical Innovations.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
There is considerable interest in developing methods for early detection of medical advances which are likely to lead to effective treatments. Because the number of potentially significant discoveries published each year is very large, practically-us...

Personalised meal eating behaviour analysis via semi-supervised learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automated monitoring and analysis of eating behaviour patterns, i.e., "how one eats", has recently received much attention by the research community, owing to the association of eating patterns with health-related problems and especially obesity and ...
