Automated classification of pathological gait after stroke using ubiquitous sensing technology.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This study uses machine learning methods to distinguish between healthy and pathological gait. Examples of multi-dimensional pathological and normal gait sequences were collected from post-stroke and healthy individuals in a real clinical setting and...

A wearable computing platform for developing cloud-based machine learning models for health monitoring applications.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Wearable sensors have the potential to enable clinical-grade ambulatory health monitoring outside the clinic. Technological advances have enabled development of devices that can measure vital signs with great precision and significant progress has be...

Tuning electrical stimulation for thalamic visual prosthesis: An autoencoder-based approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Visual prosthesis holds hope of vision restoration for millions with retinal degenerative diseases. Machine learning techniques such as artificial neural networks could help in improving prosthetic devices as they could learn how the brain encodes in...

A hybrid rule and machine learning based generic alerting platform for smart environments.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Existing smart environment based alert solutions have adopted a relatively complex and tailored approach to supporting individuals. These solutions have involved sensor based monitoring, activity recognition and assistance provisioning. Traditionally...

Can we make a carpet smart enough to detect falls?

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper, we have enhanced smart carpet, which is a floor based personnel detector system, to detect falls using a faster but low cost processor. Our hardware front end reads 128 sensors, with sensors output a voltage due to a person walking or ...

Detection of fetal kicks using body-worn accelerometers during pregnancy: Trade-offs between sensors number and positioning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Monitoring fetal wellbeing is key in modern obstetrics. While fetal movement is routinely used as a proxy to fetal wellbeing, accurate, noninvasive, long-term monitoring of fetal movement is challenging. A few accelerometer-based systems have been de...

A mobile platform for automated screening of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma each represent a large proportion of the global disease burden; COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide and asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases, afflicting over 300 m...

VO2 estimation using 6-axis motion sensor with sports activity classification.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper, we focus on oxygen consumption (VO2) estimation using 6-axis motion sensor (3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope) for people playing sports with diverse intensities. The VO2 estimated with a small motion sensor can be used to calc...

Efficient compressive sensing of ECG segments based on machine learning for QRS-based arrhythmia detection.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A novel method for efficient telemonitoring of arrhythmia based on using QRS complexes is proposed. Two features, namely, sum of absolute differences (SAD) and maximum of absolute differences (MAD) are efficiently computed for each ECG segment in the...

Automatic recognition of pleasant content of odours through ElectroEncephaloGraphic activity analysis.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This study presents a machine learning approach applied to ElectroEnchephaloGraphic (EEG) response in a group of subjects when exposed to a controlled olfactory stimulation experiment. In the literature, in fact, there are controversial results on EE...
