The PAG monitoring device consists of four components, including an audiogram sensor, an analog-digital converter, a microprocessor, and a data storage unit. The main function of the proposed AI-based non-invasive PAG is to measure the audio signal in radial artery generated by hemodynamics. Hemodynamics under arrhythmia and sinus rhythm (SR) conditions might exhibit different patterns as the heart rhythm becomes irregular under arrhythmia condition. PAG signals of SR and other arrhythmia symptoms such as atrial fibrillation (AF), aortic regurgitation (AR), and congestive heart failure (CHF) were collected during this research. In the experiment results, the proposed method can achieve accuracy of 99.29% when discriminating SR and AF; the proposed method can achieve accuracy of 98.92% when discriminating SR, AF, AR, and CHF. In this study, we have successfully developed an AI-based non-invasive PAG monitoring device for arrhythmia screening, and have plan to use it in on large-scale screening for arrhythmia in the near future.","PeriodicalId":120815,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Healthcare Innovations and Point of Care Technologies (HI-POCT)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126361736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fluorescence-based detection allows us to achieve higher sensitivity, while a nitrocellulose substrate enables fluid handling, high protein immobilization, rapid detection time, and affordability. As a proof-of-concept for detection of disease-specific biomarkers in plasma, we demonstrate the detection of antibodies in plasma to Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA-1) recombinant protein and to human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E7 recombinant protein. We show that our detection system is able to detect EBNA-1-specific antibodies at a 1:10,000 plasma dilution and HPV 16 E7-specific antibodies at a 1:5,000 plasma dilution, indicating high sensitivity. This platform is a low-cost device that can detect fluorescence from labeled biomarkers on a lateral flow assay.

In these regions, the early mortality is 50%–90% among children born with sickle cell anemia [1]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), who passed a resolution naming SCD as a global public health problem in 2006 [2], 70% of these early mortality could be prevented by implementing low-cost SCD screening followed by cost-effective treatments [3].

The bioanode is functionalized with pyroloquinoline quinone glucose dehydrogenase, while the biocathode is functionalized with bilirubin oxidase. The glucose biofuel cell assembly and its performance were investigated under physiological conditions (pH 7.4 and 37 °C) at which a maximum open circuit voltage of 548.2 mV, short circuit current density of 7.19 mA/cm2 and peak power density of 1.475 mA/cm2 were obtained in 20 mM glucose. The nominal electrical power generated from the single glucose biofuel cell (∼ 548 mV) was amplified to 3.2 V using a two stage electrical power amplification circuit and a capacitive element functioning as a glucose transducer. The self-powered glucose biosensor exhibited a linear dynamic range of 1 mM–45 mM and a high sensitivity of 92.51 Hz/cm2.mM when simultaneously sensing glucose and powering a glucometer.

To address this need, we developed a low-cost, portable Pocket colposcope that can be used in remote settings for cervical cancer screening and prevention. We evaluated whether the Pocket colposcope performs comparably to the standard-of-care colposcope in Durham, North Carolina, Lima, Perú, and Moshi, Tanzania. Concordant image pairs obtained from this device and the current standard imaging was sent to physician experts from high, middle, and low-income countries. They were blinded as to diagnosis, device, and peer response. Each image was critically evaluated for quality and presumptive findings and compared. Corresponding pathology was obtained for each patient. Physician interpretation agreed 76.8% of the time between the Pocket colposcope and standard-of-care colposcope. Physician interpretation agreed with pathology 59.4% and 63.0% for the Pocket and standard-of-care colposcopes, respectively. The primary outcome of this study was to show reasonable concordance between the Pocket colposcope and state of the art imaging in terms of individual examiners, pathologic diagnosis, and image quality.

Potential exists in the wave of emerging wearable devices and the internet of things (IoT) to support a movement towards the decentralization of healthcare. In particular, mobility impairments caused by injury or chronic disease are a major source of concern in the aging population. Individuals with mobility impairments often rely on assistive devices, such as canes or walkers to increase safety and stability. Given the prevalence of assistive devices among these users, instrumenting and connecting assistive technologies could be an effective means of unobtrusive activity monitoring. In this work we present an affordable hybrid sensorized cane, capable of measuring loading, mobility and stability information. The proposed system, which is nearly indistinguishable from a traditional cane, collects these data and then wirelessly transmits them to a mobile device for cloud storage and analysis. A multi-sensor fusion algorithm was used to segment valid gait cycles and identify various temporal gait events. Based on preliminary results, it is believed that the proposed system will be able to identify a variety of gait perturbations, potentially offering future applications in early diagnosis and the management of chronic conditions.","PeriodicalId":120815,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Healthcare Innovations and Point of Care Technologies (HI-POCT)","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127274985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of the implant structure design is expected to create a “fluid diode” effect while to possess enough stiffness to withstand the outside pressure. The final design is printed by additive manufacturing to validate the performance.
