Blood pressure monitoring is one avenue to monitor people's health conditions. Early detection of abnormal blood pressure can help patients to get early treatment and reduce mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is very val...
Stress is subjective and is manifested differently from one person to another. Thus, the performance of generic classification models that classify stress status is crude. Building a person-specific model leads to a reliable classification, but it re...
OBJECTIVE: Sleep quality has a significant impact on human mental and physical health. The detection of sleep-wake states is thus of paramount importance in the study of sleep. The gold standard method for sleep-wake classification is multi-sensor-ba...
BACKGROUND: There has been a recent increased interest in monitoring health using wearable sensor technologies; however, few have focused on breathing. The ability to monitor breathing metrics may have indications both for general health as well as r...
Continuous blood pressure (BP) measurement is crucial for reliable and timely hypertension detection. State-of-the-art continuous BP measurement methods based on pulse transit time or multiple parameters require simultaneous electrocardiogram (ECG) a...
