Traditionally, hemoglobin level measurement is accomplished through invasive way [1] in clinics. But, non-invasive techniques are becoming more popular nowadays, though its accuracy is not up to the mark. The conventional invasive approaches need the blood sample from the patient which is quite inappropriate always for premature infants, aging population, sickle cell patients, anemia patients, and pregnant women. To solve the HB measurement issues, we have chosen the smartphone, an essential tool in mHealth technology due to its multi-faceted aspects [2]. Many researchers used the high-end spectrometer, hyperspectral camera, and optical devices for hemoglobin level measurement noninvasively, those devices are not available and expensive. To overcome expense and mobility issues, in this poster, we propose a smartphone-based non-invasive HB measurement tool where we capture the video image HSV values with three channels at 30 frames per second. Based on the capabilities of smartphones, this research output can make the remarkable change in resource-limited countries.","PeriodicalId":443595,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Great Lakes Biomedical Conference (GLBC)","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114865190","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}

To investigate the effect of inflammation on current delivery. transgenic mice, expressing Thy1-GCaMP6f (a genetically-encoded calcium sensor), were implanted with a DBS electrode in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Immediately following insertion, high frequency electrical stimulation of the STN was performed and we imaged changes in fluorescence elicited by stimulation to characterize the response of cortical neurons to STN DBS. Our result is consistent with the idea that the acute inflammatory response during the perioperative and early postoperative periods shunt current away from the desired target compared to the chronic inflammatory state weeks later.","PeriodicalId":443595,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Great Lakes Biomedical Conference (GLBC)","volume":"46 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115532895","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}

Here, we present a pilot investigation to determine how visual feedback impacts wrist stabilization for populations with age related declines in motor function and chronic stroke. To quantify these interactions, behavioral performance and local brain activation were observed during a task requiring stabilization of the wrist against constant and stochastic extensor torque perturbations. All subjects were better able to stabilize their wrist when veridical visual feedback of their limb was provided. Examination of the neural activation maps in the Control and Aging populations revealed patterns of neural activity commonly associated with feedback control of limb position. The Stroke survivor, however, exhibited a different pattern of neural activity, possibly due to the lack of sensory feedback employment.","PeriodicalId":443595,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Great Lakes Biomedical Conference (GLBC)","volume":"333 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116684301","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}
