Machine Learning Model for Predicting CVD Risk on NHANES Data.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major health problem throughout the world. It is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality and also causes considerable economic burden to society. The early symptoms related to previous observations and abnormal ...

Mediterranean Food Image Recognition Using Deep Convolutional Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
We present a new dataset of food images that can be used to evaluate food recognition systems and dietary assessment systems. The Mediterranean Greek food -MedGRFood dataset consists of food images from the Mediterranean cuisine, and mainly from the ...

Detecting Uncertainty of Mortality Prediction Using Confident Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Early mortality prediction is an actively researched problem that has led to the development of various severity scores and machine learning (ML) models for accurate and reliable detection of mortality in severely ill patients staying in intensive ca...

Subsumption reduces dataset dimensionality without decreasing performance of a machine learning classifier.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
When features in a high dimension dataset are organized hierarchically, there is an inherent opportunity to reduce dimensionality. Since more specific concepts are subsumed by more general concepts, subsumption can be applied successively to reduce d...

An Auxiliary Tasks Based Framework for Automated Medical Skill Assessment with Limited Data.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automated medical skill assessment facilitates medical education by merging varying clinical experiences across instructors for standardizing medical training. However, medical datasets for training such automated assessment rarely have satisfactory ...

Design and Simulation of a Soft Robotic Device for Muscle Rehabilitation and Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Previous works have shown the efficacy of mechanical stimulation by applying pressure and vibration on muscle rehabilitation. Additionally, a temperature increase can improve both muscle performance and blood circulation during therapies. These modal...

Robotic Cytology using Extra-Fine Needles : -Proposal of Puncture Control Strategy for Increasing Collection Amount.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Fine needle aspiration cytology requires accurate needle insertion into a tumor and sufficient amount collection of samples, which highly depends on the skill of the physician. The advantage of the diagnosis is to minimize the tissue damage with the ...

Development of a tendon driven robotic probe for prostate palpation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Palpation is a clinical diagnosis method utilized by physicians to acquire valuable information about the pathological condition of an organ using the sense of touch. This method, however, is subjective. The accuracy depends on the physician's experi...

A Soft Robotic Sleeve for Compression Therapy of the Lower Limb.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
'We present the development of a soft robotic-inspired device for lower limb compression therapy with application in the treatment of lymphedema. This device integrates the control capabilities of pneumatic devices with the wearability and low cost o...

Signal Quality Assessment of PPG Signals using STFT Time-Frequency Spectra and Deep Learning Approaches.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an important signal which contains much physiological information like heart rate and cardiovascular health etc. However, PPG signals are easily corrupted by motion artifacts and body movements during their recordings, w...
