This study proposes a U-net shaped Deep Neural Network (DNN) model to extract remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) signals from skin color signals to estimate Pulse Rate (PR).Three input window sizes are used in the DNN: 256 samples (5.12 s), 512 sampl...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Muscle mass is one of the critical components that ensure muscle function. Loss of muscle mass at every stage of life can cause many adverse effects. Sarcopenia, which can occur in different age groups and is characterized b...
Arterial stiffness due to vascular aging is a major indicator during the assessment of cardiovascular risk. In this study, we propose a method for age estimation by applying deep learning to a photoplethysmogram (PPG) for the non-invasive assessment ...

Blood pressure (BP) is known as an indicator of human health status, and regular measurement is helpful for early detection of cardiovascular diseases. Traditional techniques for measuring BP are either invasive or cuff-based and thus are not suitabl...
Personalized modeling has long been anticipated to approach precise noninvasive blood glucose measurements, but challenged by limited data for training personal model and its unavoidable outlier predictions. To overcome these long-standing problems, ...
Quality assessment of bio-signals is important to prevent clinical misdiagnosis. With the introduction of mobile and wearable health care, it is becoming increasingly important to distinguish available signals from noise. The goal of this study was t...
Continuous blood pressure (BP) measurement is crucial for long-term cardiovascular monitoring, especially for prompt hypertension detection. However, most of the continuous BP measurements rely on the pulse transit time (PTT) from multiple-channel ph...
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is easy to measure and provides important parameters related to heart rate and arrhythmia. However, automated PPG methods have not been developed because of their susceptibility to motion artifacts and differences in wavefo...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a device that measures the amount of light absorbed by the blood vessel, blood, and tissues, which can, in turn, translate into various measurements such as the variation in blood flow volume, ...
