The 3-lead Electrocardiogram device takes the physical pulse input using electrodes stuck to the arms and right leg of the patient under observation. The ECG signal is processed by the microcontroller AT89S52 in the portable wireless unit to count the heart beat for a duration of one minute and the Heart Rate is displayed on LCD display. The amplitude and intervals of some critical components are obtained, processed and displayed in a graphical user interface. If an abnormality is detected in the ECG signal, an alert SMS is sent by the system to the doctor through GSM modem to enable him to take appropriate protective measures. The system is intended to use for telemedicine application. Further, the system can be improved to monitor multiple physiological signals and to allow patient mobility by transmitting signals wirelessly.","PeriodicalId":122243,"journal":{"name":"2017 Third International Conference on Biosignals, Images and Instrumentation (ICBSII)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120938083","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}

This happens due to traffic jam, congestion in the city. A prototype of an emergency flying air ambulance or an ambulance drone which can reach the fatal cases faster than a normal ambulance which saves time is designed and it also measures the different health parameters using its measuring devices. When a phone call is given to the emergency number, the emergency operator tracks the location and navigate using global positioning system. The ambulance drone enters the scene in the instant time and real time commands are provided by the operator. The drone consist of a mini patient monitoring system which comprises of variant sensors which can be conveniently attached to the victim body and the important parameters is measured and it is immediately sent to the ambulance as well as to the nearby hospital using global positioning system and ZIGBEE. The particular result helps the paramedics as well as the doctors to evaluate the situation quicker with better diagnostic and therapeutic choices. Therefore, the goal is to develop an all purpose medical toolkit that can be flawn to any crisis situation and it is used to give the actual time situation results to the ambulance and the hospital team so that they will be ready to serve to the needs of the patients.

Speech is found to be an effective marker for the identification of Parkinson's disease. In the following paper, we have proposed using factor analysis to select meaningful and dominant features from the speech signals, which are relevant for prediction of Parkinson's disease. We infer that along with the jitter variants, shimmer variants and noise to harmonic ratio, pitch period entropy (PPE), the recurrence period density entropy (RPDE), and spread parameters are important in identifying PD. For classification, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used. The proposed model discriminates Parkinson afflicted individuals from healthy ones with an average accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of about 90%. Further, from the study, it is inferred that sustained phonations carry sufficient information for predicting Parkinson's disease.","PeriodicalId":122243,"journal":{"name":"2017 Third International Conference on Biosignals, Images and Instrumentation (ICBSII)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123372625","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 intensities of theses human brain waves vary from individual to individual and changes due to various physiological, mental and physical state of the human body. This work explores the effects of sleep, attention and music on the human brain.

However, absence of literature is observed in fNIRs based memory and learning research. This paper provides a novel study of prefrontal hemodynamic changes of subjects engaged in multiple trial paired-associate learning. The direct measure of prefrontal hemodynamic is collected by fNIRs machine. The raw signals are pre-processed (to filter out artifacts) to extract 144 features for each feature pool which are reduced to 36 using principal component analysis (PCA). From three pools of features, the most relevant feature pool is sorted out considering algorithms' classification performance. Learning stages are classified from ‘ZERO’ learning using three conventional classifiers (RBF-SVM, LSVM and LDA). Experimental analysis revels RBF-SVM algorithm has the highest performance in classification of learning trials which reaches over 93%. Analysis of hemodynamic features shows greater total hemoglobin load in orbitofrontal (OFC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in initial learning trials which shits to dorsolateral (DLPFC) and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) areas when learning is complete. We also observe the engagement of working memory in initial learning stages. This findings also can be useful to justify low learning ability among individuals with neurovascular deficits.","PeriodicalId":122243,"journal":{"name":"2017 Third International Conference on Biosignals, Images and Instrumentation (ICBSII)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133273224","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}
