However, most pregnancy screening tests are not available in the settings they are needed the most. A mobile device-enabled technology based on MSAFP for screening birth defects could enable the rapid screening and triage of high-risk pregnancies, especially where maternal serum screening and fetal ultrasound scan facilities are not easily accessible. Shifting the approach from clinic- and laboratory-dependent care to a mobile platform based on our point-of-care approach will enable translation to resource-limited settings and the global health care market.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>The objective of this study is to develop and perform proof-of-concept testing of a lateral flow immunoassay on a mobile platform for rapid, point-of-care quantification of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, from a drop of human serum, within a few minutes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The development of the immunoassay involved the selection of commercially available antibodies and optimization of their concentrations by an iterative method to achieve the required detection limits. We compared the performance of our method with that of commercially obtained human serum samples, with known AFP concentrations quantified by the Abbott ARCHITECT chemiluminescent magnetic microparticle immunoassay (CMIA).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We tested commercially obtained serum samples (N=20) with concentrations ranging from 2.2 to 446 ng/mL to compare the results of our point-of-care assay with results from the Abbott ARCHITECT CMIA.

The AFP test on the mobile platform can be applied to enable screening for high-risk pregnancies, within a few minutes, at the point of care even in remote areas where maternal serum tests and fetal ultrasound scans are not easily accessible; assessment of whether clinical follow-up and diagnostic testing may be needed after a positive initial screening evaluation; and development of surveillance tools for birth defects.</p>","PeriodicalId":87288,"journal":{"name":"JMIR biomedical engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8570531/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39704926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enabling clinicians to set up remote patient ECG monitoring easily and determining how to classify the ECG signals accurately so relevant alerts are sent in a timely fashion is an urgent problem to be addressed for remote patient monitoring (RPM) to be adopted widely.

Its measurement principle is simple and easy to implement. With the development of wireless communication technology, photoplethysmogram is increasingly used for the purpose of measuring the physiological state of an individual in a daily life beyond its use in a clinical environment. An example of this is that wearable devices such as smart watches and smartphones are increasingly providing healthcare services based on photoplethysmogram measurement. Despite increased spread and use of photoplethysmogram, it is not possible to specify the processing method of photoplethysmogram. Such method is considered a gold standard, including its pre-processing method. It is being studied in various ways by individual researchers. Unlike other reviews focusing on the measurement principle and clinical application of photoplethysmogram, this review examines existing research cases on photoplethysmogram about its generation mechanisms, measurement principles, clinical applications, noise definition, pre-processing techniques, feature detection techniques, and post-processing techniques for photoplethysmogram processing, especially from an engineering point of view. Furthermore, this review describes the flow of current signal processing techniques for photoplethysmogram and suggests future directions that photoplethysmogram processing research will be directed. In particular, this review looks at photoplethysmogram noise reduction technology using peak detection technology and signal quality assessment technology known to be important elements for the practical use of photoplethysmogram from a technical perspective.\u0000","PeriodicalId":87288,"journal":{"name":"JMIR biomedical engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44934808","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}
