Automatic Onsets and Systolic Peaks Detection and Segmentation of Arterial Blood Pressure Waveforms using Fully Convolutional Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveform is a common physiological signal that contains a wealth of cardiovascular information. According to the cardiac cycle, the ABP waveform is divided into rapid ejection, systolic and diastolic phases. Therefore, t...

A Deep Learning Approach to Predict Blood Pressure from PPG Signals.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Blood Pressure (BP) is one of the four primary vital signs indicating the status of the body's vital (life-sustaining) functions. BP is difficult to continuously monitor using a sphygmomanometer (i.e. a blood pressure cuff), especially in everyday-se...

The Use of Mobile Thermal Imaging and Deep Learning for Prediction of Surgical Site Infection.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The ability to detect surgical site infections (SSI) is a critical need for healthcare worldwide, but is especially important in low-income countries, where there is limited access to health facilities and trained clinical staff. In this paper, we pr...

Acoustic Based Footstep Detection in Pervasive Healthcare.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Passive detection of footsteps in domestic settings can allow the development of assistive technologies that can monitor mobility patterns of older adults in their home environment. Acoustic footstep detection is a promising approach for non-intrusiv...

Kinematics Constraint Modeling for Flexible Robots based on Deep Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Application of flexible robotic systems and teleoperated control recently used in minimally invasive surgery have introduced paradigm shift in interventional surgery. While Prototypes of flexible robots have been proposed for surgical diagnostic and ...

Assistive Sliding Mode Control of a Rehabilitation Robot with Automatic Weight Adjustment.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
There are approximately 13 million new stroke cases worldwide each year. Research has shown that robotics can provide practical and efficient solutions for expediting post-stroke patient recovery. This simulation study aimed to design a sliding mode ...

Multiscale, multi-perspective imaging assisted robotic microinjection of 3D biological structures.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Microinjection is a widely used technique employed by biologists with applications in transgenesis, cryopreservation, mutagenesis, labeling/dye injection and in-vitro fertilization. However, microinjection is an extremely laborious manual procedure, ...

Analysis of Human Head Motion and Robotic Compensation for PET Imaging Studies.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Functional medical imaging systems can provide insights into brain activity during various tasks, but most current imaging systems are bulky devices that are not compatible with many human movements. Our motivating application is to perform Positron ...

A Multimodal Direct Gaze Interface for Wheelchairs and Teleoperated Robots.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Gaze-based interfaces are especially useful for people with disabilities involving the upper limbs or hands. Typically, users select from a number of options (e.g. letters or commands) displayed on a screen by gazing at the desired option. However, i...

A disposable force regulation mechanism for throat swab robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robots can protect healthcare workers from being infected by the COVID-19 and play a role in throat swab sampling operation. A critical requirement in this process is to maintain a constant force on the tissue for ensuring a safe and good sampling. I...
