Objective.Large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke presents a major challenge in clinical practice due to the potential for poor outcomes with delayed treatment. Treatment for LVO involves highly specialized care, in particular endovascular thrombectomy, ...
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major noncommunicable disease with a significant increase in prevalence, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The latest International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas (2025) reports that 11.1% of ...
Cortical arousals are brief brain activations that disrupt sleep continuity and contribute to cardiovascular, cognitive, and behavioral impairments. Although polysomnography is the gold standard for arousal detection, its cost and complexity limit us...

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is widely used in wearable health monitors for tracking fundamental physiological parameters (e.g., heart rate and blood oxygen saturation) and advancing applications requiring high-quality signals-such as blood pressure as...
. sleep staging is essential for diagnosing sleep disorders and managing sleep health. Traditional methods require time-consuming manual scoring. Recent photoplethysmography (PPG)-based deep learning models perform well on local datasets but struggle...
Diabetes is a major health challenge that affects millions of people worldwide. Managing diabetes effectively requires monitoring blood glucose levels continuously, typically through invasive sensing devices such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs)...
Advancements in artificial intelligence have broadened the capabilities of robots, particularly in caregiving applications that are essential for aging societies facing a growing shortage of human caregivers. Humanoid caregiving robots require sophis...
Monitoring mean arterial pressure (MAP) is essential for ensuring safe general anesthesia. Current practices rely either on non-invasive cuff measurements, which suffer from poor temporal resolution, or invasive arterial lines, which provide excellen...
Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is a widely recognized non-invasive biomarker of arterial stiffness and an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, and vascular aging. Accurate, accessible estimation of PWV is,...
Photoplethysmography holds promise for continuous, non-intrusive heart rate monitoring through wearable devices. However, motion artifacts can impact the reliability of heart rate estimates. The integration of accelerometer data has been proven helpf...
