Parkinson disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder with rest tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity as the cardinal motor manifestations. A novel algorithm system has been derived to detect all the motor examinations of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), of which the accuracy has been verified by high-speed camera system. This system includes three categories of detection parameters: the trajectory parameters, time-frequency parameters, angle parameters. Average accuracy for the detection with IMU can reach to 87%, 90% and 95%, respectively.With 17 patients’ trial tests, it’s observed that there do have certain differences of the movement parameters in between patients and age 20th youth controls. For 3.6 Pronation and Supination, the rotation speed of normal control can be twice of the patients and the deviation of the amplitude can reach to 45 degrees of patient in comparison to 5 degrees of normal control. Also, for low power and wearable requirements, this processing system have been designed with chip solution and be implemented with TSMC 0.18 mm CMOS process. The power consumption is 0.3713mW and the chip area is 4.2mm by 4.2mm which will be well suited to wearable applications.Our results showed that this processing system could precisely measure the temporal patterns of speed and amplitude decay of the movements, and successfully capture the severity and difference of bradykinesia and poor coordination of the patients of PD.","PeriodicalId":177401,"journal":{"name":"2022 14th Biomedical Engineering International Conference (BMEiCON)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127093242","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}

Since eVision’s Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network makes use of Influenza related keywords in Google Trends as prediction features, it stands to reason that further feature selection from trending keywords relating to the flu in social media posts could enhance its prediction. After close examination, the only social media platforms that prove capable of supplying relevant data for time series analysis are the Twitter micro-blogging and Reddit social news aggregation and discussion forum platforms; as other social media platforms are either meant for sharing images and videos, or private multi-cast communication rather than public broadcasting and discourse. However, due to the burstiness of flu related Reddit posts, no useful feature for time series forecasting can be extracted from that platform; and Twitter, which has been examined for Influenza forecasting by numerous other researchers with successful results, poses a number of obstacles such as changes in policy as well as placing features behind expensive paywalls through the disabling of existing free APIs. Regardless however, the results obtained by the addition of Twitter data as another feature in eVision’s LSTM resulted in an almost negligible predictive improvement as delineated in this paper.","PeriodicalId":177401,"journal":{"name":"2022 14th Biomedical Engineering International Conference (BMEiCON)","volume":"601 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123175827","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}

Ventilator is known as the most complicated equipment in ICU due to a parameter setting, waveform understanding and variation of patient pathological variable under controlled ventilation which affect to ventilator operation. Then, new user always need time to practice and familiar with ventilator. In this paper, we present a simplified ventilator model by using an effective simulation tools in order to use as a simple tool in ventilation parameter study. The proposed ventilator simulation is basically based on volume control ventilation mode (VCV) with focusing on PEEP setting at expiratory module. We also simulated an operation of O2 concentrator in gas supply module which is designed by using parallel flow system of both air and oxygen. As a preliminary, all main ventilation waveforms $(mathrm{P}_{aw}, mathrm{V}_{T}$, $dot{V}, mathrm{T}_{P}$, PEEP, O2%) obtain from this modified model show an effective response and be able to use as a routine practice for new practitioner.

The cartilage destruction is one of the most important indicators for diagnosis and treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis, and it is radiographically manifested as joint space narrowing. In this study, we propose a joint location detection method and a sub-pixel accurate method for quantifying joint space narrowing progression with a joint angle correction. The proposed joint location detection method can detect the location of 14 joints from a given hand radiographic image, the error of 89.13% joints is less than 3 pixels (spatial resolution: 0.175 mm/pixel). In our previous works, we measured joint space narrowing progression between a baseline and its follow-up finger joint images by using partial image phase only correlation. We found that the inconsistency of joint angles may lead to characteristic mismatch and thus affect the accuracy of joint space narrowing quantification. In this work, we introduce rotation invariant phase only correlation in joint space narrowing quantification for joint angle correction. In our experiment, the improved quantification method can effectively manage the mismatch due to the inconsistency of joint angles.","PeriodicalId":177401,"journal":{"name":"2022 14th Biomedical Engineering International Conference (BMEiCON)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127389034","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}
