Fall detection algorithms for real-world falls harvested from lumbar sensors in the elderly population: a machine learning approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automatic fall detection will promote independent living and reduce the consequences of falls in the elderly by ensuring people can confidently live safely at home for linger. In laboratory studies inertial sensor technology has been shown capable of...

Towards sophisticated learning from EHRs: increasing prediction specificity and accuracy using clinically meaningful risk criteria.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Computer based analysis of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has the potential to provide major novel insights of benefit both to specific individuals in the context of personalized medicine, as well as on the level of population-wide health care and ...

A machine learning based approach for identifying traumatic brain injury patients for whom a head CT scan can be avoided.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Head CT scan is more often used to evaluate patients with suspected traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the use of head CT scans in evaluating TBI is costly with low value endeavor. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm and a set of features t...

Complementary sensors for rapid and sensitive detection of wound bacteria.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Dual sensors for timely wound bacterial infection detection through the measurement of pH and bacterial cell attachment were developed. A high sensitivity of -57.98 ± 7.08 mV/pH (pH 1-13; over 14 days) and a minimum detectable bacteria concentration ...

Automatic seizure detection using correlation integral with nonlinear adaptive denoising and Kalman filter.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The ability of correlation integral for automatic seizure detection using scalp EEG data has been re-examined in this paper. To facilitate the detection performance and overcome the shortcoming of correlation integral, nonlinear adaptive denoising an...

Predicting local field potentials with recurrent neural networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
We present a Recurrent Neural Network using LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) that is capable of modeling and predicting Local Field Potentials. We train and test the network on real data recorded from epilepsy patients. We construct networks that predic...

Beat-to-beat variability of P-wave in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The aim of this paper was to analyze the P-wave variability over time in patients suffering from Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Behind some time-domain and morphological features of the P-wave template, two novel indexes of P-wave variability have been es...

Context-aware fall detection using inertial sensors and time-of-flight transceivers.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automatic detection of falls is important for enabling people who are older to safely live independently longer within their homes. Current automated fall detection systems are typically designed using inertial sensors positioned on the body that gen...

Quantitative ultrasound assessment of breast tumor response to chemotherapy using a multi-parameter approach.

Oncotarget
PURPOSE: This study demonstrated the ability of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters in providing an early prediction of tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC).

Discriminative analysis of schizophrenia using support vector machine and recursive feature elimination on structural MRI images.

Medicine
Structural abnormalities in schizophrenia (SZ) patients have been well documented with structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and region of interest (ROI) analyses. However, these analyses can only detect...
