This paper presents a performance comparison of dry and wet electrodes for medical devices, in particular, for bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). BIA is an emerging technology widely used for body composition analysis by computing the impedance of the human body. The designed system for BIA consists of a wearable silicone ring with four copper electrodes. The experiment is conducted on 40 healthy human subjects using both the ring and the Ag/AgCl electrodes. The linear regression demonstrates a high correlation between both electrodes (r = 0.96 for resistance and r = 0.93 for reactance). The measurement of root mean square noise is determined for both electrodes. The dry electrodes demonstrate a higher noise level (1.96 mV) as compared to the wet electrodes (0.282 mV), mainly due to the absence of conductive gel. Moreover, fast Fourier transform is performed to determine and filter out unwanted signals and to reduce the noise level in the dry electrodes. The results demonstrate that the designed ring electrodes have a comparable performance with commercial Ag/AgCl electrodes and can be used in mobile wearable medical devices.","PeriodicalId":143197,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Signal Processing in Medicine and Biology Symposium (SPMB)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125006997","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}

Such information would increase our understanding of the causes of variation in SSQ and potentially improve our ability to improve SSQ. Previous approaches rely on human annotation of the electroencephalographic (EEG) brain signals, to deal with the noisy, high dimensional nature of the EEGs. We aim to use recurrent neural networks to directly analyze and extract useful information from EEG brain signals. We analyze population-based overnight sleep polysomnography data obtained from 4885 community-dwelling adults. We use convolutional and recurrent neural networks to process the EEGs and combine them with information related to health and lifestyle to predict subjective depth and restfulness of sleep. We compare the coefficient of determination to the ones obtained with regression methods and technician annotations of the EEGs in previous studies. Predicting SSQ from our data set of community-dwelling adults using RNNs to analyze the whole EEG signals appear to be less accurate than previous approaches predictions. It might be necessary to acquire more data, possibly with new variables that might be better correlated with SSQ. RNNs are, however, able to extract variables correlated with SSQ from EEG signals. Our results provide insights into how RNNs can be used to extract information from brain signals and how methods such as hierarchical clustering analysis can help neural networks predict subjective variables from polysomnography data.","PeriodicalId":143197,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Signal Processing in Medicine and Biology Symposium (SPMB)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114631822","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 objective of this study is to design and test a reliable system capable of providing adequate acoustic stimulus, and simultaneously measure transmitted signals at multiple skin surface locations. The study objectives include determining: (1) the static load needed to reach a target SNR (>20 dB) at the measurement points and a target coherence (>0.8) between excitation and measurement points; (2) the exciter sensitivity to static load changes; and (3) the exciter input maximum power and corresponding acceleration. These results will help guide the choice of optimal exciter that: (1) can withstand sufficient static load (~500g), which would provide coupling to the bone to reach a target SNR and coherence; (2) has low sensitivity to load (low variability for a load change ~100 gm); (3) can provide sufficient acoustic excitation energy to maintain the target SNR and coherence; (4) be available at a reasonable cost (~<$500); (5) ensures patient comfort (with no subject discomfort reported for a contact area of ~ 2 cm 2 ).","PeriodicalId":143197,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Signal Processing in Medicine and Biology Symposium (SPMB)","volume":"105 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132948112","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}

Additionally, there is limited knowledge of how their sleep quality is related to their daytime behaviors. In this study, we evaluate an unobtrusive and inexpensive smart bed system for in-home, long-term sleep quality monitoring using ballistocardiogram (BCG) signals. By extracting different sleep quality indicators using BCG signals, we build bi-directional predictive models for daytime behaviors and nighttime sleep quality using two classifiers as support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN). For all daytime behaviors of interest, we achieve more than 78% average accuracy using previous nights sleep quality. Additionally, night time sleep qualities are predicted with more than 78% average accuracy using previous day and night features.","PeriodicalId":143197,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Signal Processing in Medicine and Biology Symposium (SPMB)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131090065","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 complex nature of these processes has made it challenging to relate the morphology of the SCG signal to its genesis. Certain studies have used medical imaging to identify several feature points of the SCG signal by correlating their occurrence time with the corresponding cardiac events seen in imaging [4 , 5] . However, these findings remain inconclusive [6] . The localized movements (i.e. valve openings and closures, ventricular contractions, blood flow accelerations etc.) may superimpose causing complex movements where original movements may amplify or nullify as they reach the chest surface and affect SCG morphology. Hence, SCG signal can also be described as the propagated vibrations generated by individual sources (i.e., valve closures and openings, blood flow accelerations). These vibrations displace their more immediate boundaries (e.g., pericardium, Aorta wall) and surrounding tissues (e.g. lung tissue, ribs, chest wall muscle and skin) before they are detected at the chest surface. Hence, modeling the propagation of overall cardiac wall motion to the chest surface may help enhance our understanding of SCG genesis.","PeriodicalId":143197,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Signal Processing in Medicine and Biology Symposium (SPMB)","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132374565","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}

If not managed properly, chronic respiratory disease prolongs the episode of care or leads to hospital readmissions that are costly and burdensome to the patient. The current standard of care, in an inpatient setting, relies on labor-intensive, eSpisodic clinical assessments to detect signs of worsening disease progression. In the outpatient setting, disease monitoring relies solely on self-reporting by patients. Occasionally, patients have the aid of an instrument, such as a peak flow meter, but these aids are prone to user error and cannot always accurately report critical data 0. Additionally, patients with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and asthma often receive inadequate treatment due to poor communication between the patient and clinician [2] – [3] , poor disease status assessment by the clinician, inconsistent use of medication [4] – [5] , or the unreliability of peak flow measurements 0.
