The gold standard for the diagnosis of sleep apnoea (SA) is polysomnography, consisting of overnight in-lab tests, which are expensive for both patients and healthcare systems. Airflow and pulse/oximetry signals contain most of the necessary informat...
Pulse oximetry screening (POS) is a noninvasive tool for the detection of critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) that has moderate sensitivity and high specificity. It is readily accepted by parents and health care professional and has significantl...
Pulse oximetry, although generally effective under ideal conditions, faces challenges in accurately estimating peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO) in complex clinical scenarios, particularly at lower saturation levels and in patients with darker skin ...

Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO) is used to monitor cerebral perfusion with emerging evidence that optimization of rSO may improve neurological and non-neurological outcomes. To manipulate rSO an understanding of the variables that drive its...
BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by frequent pauses or shallow breathing during sleep. Polysomnography, the gold standard for OSA assessment, is time consuming and labor intensive, thus limiting di...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To investigate the comprehensive prediction ability for cognitive impairment in a general elder population using the combination of the multimodal ophthalmic imaging and artificial neural networks.
PURPOSE: This study aims to develop sleep apnea screening models with overnight SpO2 data, and to investigate the impact of the SpO2 data granularity on model performance.
SIGNIFICANCE: Monitoring oxygen saturation ( ) is important in healthcare, especially for diagnosing and managing pulmonary diseases. Non-contact approaches broaden the potential applications of measurement by better hygiene, comfort, and capabilit...

Heart failure (HF) is defined as the inability of the heart to meet body oxygen demand requiring an elevation in left ventricular filling pressures (LVP) to compensate. LVP increase can be assessed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, but this ...
BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is often concomitant with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), which can cause adverse cardiovascular events. Although an appropriate approach to SDB prevents cardiac remodelling, detection of concomitant SD...
