In the clinical environment, these signals are typically recorded using adhesive gel electrodes which have particularly good electrical characteristics. Outside this environment, however, these electrodes are not practical, since they have to be placed manually and can only be used once. Instead, the use of dry electrodes can be beneficial, especially in complex systems such as wearables or prostheses. Unfortunately, these electrodes are not widely commercially available and their electrical characteristics are hardly documented. One major challenge is the occurring high interface impedance between the electrode and the skin. In this study, dry electrodes with different contact surfaces made of conductive polylactide acid are designed, additively manufactured and the corresponding electrode-skin impedances are examined on human subjects. The influences of different electrode radii as well as surface structures on the electrode-skin interface impedance are compared with each other. The result of the investigation is that the impedance decreases as the contact area increases, which corresponds to the electrical equivalent circuit. However, the chosen structuring of the surface has a negative impact on the impedance, although the effective electrode surface was expected to be increased.","PeriodicalId":150990,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (BSN)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127797676","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}

ECGs signals have been obtained during sessions of programmed field tests at the Bormio Ski Resort (Valtellina, Lombardy, Italy) in the month of March. Here, following the defined protocol, a group of 15 mountain rescuers has carried out daily rescuers’ activities, while wearing wearable textile system by Smartex Srl. The test protocol was designed to simulate the real physiological demands of mountain rescuers during their emergency deployments. Among the activities performed rescuers had to walk up and down hill in snow-covered trails, carrying stretchers onto which simulated victims were located etc… To infer the quality of ECG signals recorded we developed an algorithm for the automatic evaluation of collected signal deterioration. This method is based on the analysis of regularity of ECGs’ P-QRS-T complexes pattern. To estimate the maintenance of typical ECGs pattern shape, Sample Entropy (SampEn) was computed in moving fixed-length windows sliding along the signal, obtained after applying wavelet transform of the row ECG. The SampEn indices series was then thresholded to spot ECG points where P-QRS-T complexes were more or less easy to identify, respect to points where signal quality was completely deteriorated. Moreover, we evaluated signal quality maintenance while performing low and high intensity activities.","PeriodicalId":150990,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (BSN)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129003725","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}

Blockage of blood supply is the primary reason for the development of Pressure Ulcers (PUs) in patients admitted to hospitals with impaired mobility. The dermal layer of a preterm neonate is less than 60% of the thickness of an adult and has a much higher susceptibility to developing pressure ulcers. In Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), babies lie down immobile for long hours in fixed positions. Hence, there is a 23% prevalence of PUs in NICUs worldwide. Therefore, it is advised that nursing staff should ensure frequent posture changes to avoid the development of PUs. This leads to an increased workload on them. We designed a Finite Element Modeling (FEM) of a neonatal anti-PU bed made from elastic material with alternating pressure channels and carried out simulations in ABAQUS CAE to validate this problem. We first simulated a neonatal phantom made from hyper-elastic material and laid it down on a flatbed. The pressure on the skin was taken as the baseline. We found that by activating alternating channels, the pressure increases in inflated regions and decreases in deflated regions compared to the baseline. As the inflation and deflation channels will be alternating, no long-term high-pressure points will be formed under the skin.","PeriodicalId":150990,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (BSN)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115127168","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}

It is to reduce hospital stay duration and overall medical cost after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) procedures. The shift in Medicare funding from pay-as-you-go to the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) has created a push towards at-home care over extended hospital stays. It has heavily affected TKA patients, who typically undergo physical therapy at the clinic after the procedure to ensure full recovery of ROM. In this paper, we use accelerometers to create a ROM sensor that can be integrated into the post-operative surgical dressing, so that the cost of the sensors can be included in the bundled payments. In this paper, we demonstrate the efficacy of our method in comparison to the baseline computer vision method. Our results suggest that calculating angular displacement from accelerometer sensors demonstrates accurate ROM recordings under both stationary and walking conditions. The device would keep track of angle measurements and alert the patient when certain angle thresholds have been crossed, allowing patients to recover safely at home instead of going to multiple physical therapy sessions. The affordability of our sensor makes it more accessible to patients in need. By manufacturing and utilizing our proposed device along with a built-in remote physical therapy program, the expected cost saving would be $2650 per patient throughout the recovery process after surgery.","PeriodicalId":150990,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (BSN)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116971197","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}

HAR is a challenging problem as it presents great variability across subjects. Obtaining large amounts of labelled data is not straightforward, since wearable sensor signals are not easy to label upon simple human inspection. In our work, we propose the use of neural networks for the generation of realistic signals and features using human activity monocular videos. We show how these generated features and signals can be utilized, instead of their real counterparts, to train HAR models that can recognize activities using signals obtained with wearable sensors. To prove the validity of our methods, we perform experiments on an activity recognition dataset created for the improvement of industrial work safety. We show that our model is able to realistically generate virtual sensor signals and features usable to train a HAR classifier with comparable performance as the one trained using real sensor data. Our results enable the use of available, labeled video data for training HAR models to classify signals from wearable sensors.","PeriodicalId":150990,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (BSN)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121522697","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}
