PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a model for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) detection using an artificial neural network (ANN) based on the combined features of body mass index (BMI), electrocardiogram (ECG), and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2).
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is extremely harmful to the human body and may cause neurological dysfunction and endocrine dysfunction, resulting in damage to multiple organs and multiple systems throughout the body and negatively ...
BACKGROUND: Approximately 500,000 children undergo tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) annually for treatment of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (oSDB). Although polysomnography is beneficial for preoperative risk stratification in these chi...
The severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is classified using apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Accurate determination of AHI currently requires manual analysis and complicated registration setup making it expensive and labor intensive. Partially for t...
Retinal oximetry is a non-invasive technique to investigate the hemodynamics, vasculature and health of the eye. Current techniques for retinal oximetry have been plagued by quantitatively inconsistent measurements and this has greatly limited their ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Fraction of Inspired Oxygen is one of the arbitrary set ventilator parameters which has critical influence on the concentration of blood oxygen. Normally mechanical ventilators providing respiratory assistance are tuned manu...
OBJECTIVES: Manual clinical scoring systems are the current standard used for acute asthma clinical care pathways. No automated system exists that assesses disease severity, time course, and treatment impact in pediatric acute severe asthma exacerbat...
