PURPOSE: Accurately identifying sleep states (REM, NREM, and Wake) and brief awakenings (arousals) is essential for diagnosing sleep disorders. Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for such assessments but is costly and requires overnight monit...
This study aimed to propose a portable and intelligent rehabilitation evaluation system for digital stroke-patient rehabilitation assessment. Specifically, the study designed and developed a fusion device capable of emitting red, green, and infrared ...
PURPOSE: Energy expenditure is a key parameter in quantifying physical activity. Traditional methods are limited because they are expensive and cumbersome. Additional portable and cheaper devices are developed to estimate energy expenditure to overco...
Modern neurophysiology research requires the interrogation of high-dimensionality data sets. Machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) workflows have permeated into nearly all aspects of daily life in the developed world but have not been ...
Respiratory parameters change during post-natal development, but the nature of their changes have not been well-described. The advent of commercially available plethysmographic instruments provided improved repeatability of measurements and standardi...
Infants are at risk for potentially life-threatening postoperative apnea (POA). We developed an Automated Unsupervised Respiratory Event Analysis (AUREA) to classify breathing patterns obtained with dual belt respiratory inductance plethysmography an...
OBJECTIVE: Photoplethysmography (PPG) monitoring has been implemented in many portable and wearable devices we use daily for health and fitness tracking. Its simplicity and cost-effectiveness has enabled a variety of biomedical applications, such as ...
In today's world, cardiovascular diseases are prevalent becoming the leading cause of death; more than half of the cardiovascular diseases are due to Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) which generates the demand of predicting them timely so that people can...

BACKGROUND: The great saphenous vein (GSV) in patients with superficial venous insufficiency might act as a beneficial conduit for antegrade venous drainage and also as a harmful conduit for promotion of reflux and/or recirculation and subsequent ski...
Speech production interferes with the measurement of changes in cardiac vagal activity during acute stress by attenuating the expected drop in heart rate variability. Speech also induces cardiac sympathetic changes similar to those induced by psychol...
