Download or read book Signal Quality Assessment of Photoplethysmogram for Heart Rate Estimation written by Ceren Uyanik Civek and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wearable devices make a significant contribution in health monitoring systems by continuously collecting important health parameters with the intention of prevention, early detection and control of diseases. Photoplethysmography (PPG) appears as a feasible, affordable and non-invasive technique for long term health monitoring and is commonly used in various wearable systems and medical devices. However, PPG signal is highly prone to different noise sources such as motion and ambient light which affect the reliability of the estimated results of health metrics. Therefore, a measure of quality, signal quality index (SQI), is needed for identifying poor signals distorted by
Download or read book Secondary Analysis of Electronic Health Records written by MIT Critical Data and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book trains the next generation of scientists representing different disciplines to leverage the data generated during routine patient care. It formulates a more complete lexicon of evidence-based recommendations and support shared, ethical decision making by doctors with their patients. Diagnostic and therapeutic technologies continue to evolve rapidly, and both individual practitioners and clinical teams face increasingly complex ethical decisions. Unfortunately, the current state of medical knowledge does not provide the guidance to make the majority of clinical decisions on the basis of evidence. The present research infrastructure is inefficient and frequently produces unreliable results that cannot be replicated. Even randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the traditional gold standards of the research reliability hierarchy, are not without limitations. They can be costly, labor intensive, and slow, and can return results that are seldom generalizable to every patient population. Furthermore, many pertinent but unresolved clinical and medical systems issues do not seem to have attracted the interest of the research enterprise, which has come to focus instead on cellular and molecular investigations and single-agent (e.g., a drug or device) effects. For clinicians, the end result is a bit of a “data desert” when it comes to making decisions. The new research infrastructure proposed in this book will help the medical profession to make ethically sound and well informed decisions for their patients.
Download or read book Methods to Improve the Signal Quality of Corrupted Multi parameter Physiological Signals written by Ganeshapillai Gartheeban and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has automated analysis systems that depend on continuous uninterrupted real-time monitoring of physiological signals such as Electrocardiogram (ECG), Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP), and the Photo Plethysmogram (PPG). Unfortunately, these signals are often corrupted by noise, artifacts, and missing data, which can result in a high incidence of false alarms. We present a novel approach to improve the Signal Quality of a multi-parameter physiological signal by identifying the corrupted regions in the signal, and reconstructing them using the information available in correlated signals. The method is specifically designed to preserve the clinically most signicant aspects of the signals. We use template matching to jointly segment the multi-parameter signal, morphological dissimilarity to estimate the quality of the signal segment, similarity search to nd the closest match from a database of templates, and time-warping to reconstruct the corrupted segment using the matching template. Experiments carried out on the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database, a multi-parameter ECG database with many clinically signicant arrhythmias, demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. Our method improved the classification accuracy of the beat type by more than 700% on the signal corrupted with white Gaussian noise, and increased the similarity to the original signal, as measured by the normalized residual distance, by more than 250%. When the method was applied to the multi-parameter physiological signal data from Cinc Challenge 2010 database at Physionet.org, our method improved the classification accuracy of beat type by more than 33 times on a signal corrupted with white Gaussian noise, and increased the similarity to the original signal by more than 280%.
Download or read book Techniques of Physiological Monitoring written by Richard W. Alnutt and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third, and final, volume is devoted to a discussion of monitoring systems. While the applications of physiological monitoring are many and varied, the primary concern here is with viability monitoring, the use of a measurement system to obtain factual, quantitative information about the physiological responses of a subject in a stressful environment, in order to plan protective measures which will ensure the safety and functional capability of that subject in such environments. Included are a description of instrumentation required for the measurement of individual physiological parameters, a discussion of related problems in system design, including simultaneous measurement of several parameters, data transmission or telemetry, and the use of magnetic tape recording as a system adjunct. Basic guidelines of system troubleshooting and interference reduction are also included. Section IV contains a brief survey of additional measurement techniques and data handling considerations which, while not state of the art or standard practice, will undoubtedly affect the field of physiological monitoring in the near future.

Download or read book Smart Wearable Devices in Healthcare Methodologies Applications and Algorithms written by Chang Yan and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wearable health devices have been an emerging technology that enables an ambulatory acquisition of physiological signals to monitor health status over a long time (hours/days/weeks/years) inside and outside clinical environments. Big data and deep learning, in particular, are receiving a lot of attention in this rapidly growing digital health community. A key benefit of deep learning is to analyze and learn massive amounts of data, which makes it especially valuable in healthcare since raw data is largely gathered from personalized wearable health devices. A wide range of users may benefit from unobstructed and even remote monitoring of pertinent or vital signs, which makes it easier to detect life-threatening diseases early, track the progression of pathologies and stress levels, evaluate the efficacy of therapies, provide low-cost and reliable diagnoses, etc. Today’s personal health devices have provided an amazing insight into people’s health and wellness, which allow clinicians to use these smart wearables to collect and analyze measuring data like electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), respiration, heart rate, temperature level, blood oxygen, and blood pressure for health monitoring or clinical trials. This Research Topic mainly focuses on the technical revolution in wearable health systems, which aims to design more smart and useful wearables, contributing to a substantial change in the methodologies, applications, and algorithms of machine learning for wearable health devices. With the help of deep learning and sensor fusion capabilities from wearable health platforms, this data will be used more effectively, which can help to construct smart, novel, specific solutions to improve the quality of healthcare and capabilities of utilizing new deep learning technologies.
