These companies cooperate with medical institutions that collect medical data and want to share it but they need to protect the privacy of individuals on the shared data. We present PyDPLib, a Python Differential Privacy library for private medical data analytics. We illustrate an application of differential privacy using PyDPLib in our platform for visualizing private statistics on a database of prostate cancer patients. Our experimental results show that PyDPLib allows creating statistical data plots without compromising patients’ privacy while preserving underlying data distributions. Even though PyDPLib has been developed to be used in our platform for reporting the radiological examinations and procedures, it is general enough to be used to provide differential privacy on data in any data analytics and visualization platform, service or application.","PeriodicalId":93401,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH)","volume":"366 1","pages":"191-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74194216","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}

However, there is still a lot of uncertainties regarding the precise link between peripheral and central autonomic biosignals. Clarifying these links could have a profound impact on the interpretability, and thus usefulness, of peripheral autonomic biosignals captured with wearable devices. In this study, we take advantage of a unique dataset consisting of intracranial stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) and peripheral biosignals acquired simultaneously for several days from four subjects undergoing epilepsy monitoring. Compared to previous work, we apply a deep neural network to explore high-dimensional nonlinear correlations between the cerebral brainwaves and variations in heart rate and electrodermal activity (EDA). Further, neural network explainability methods were applied to identify most relevant brainwave frequencies, brain regions and temporal information to predict a specific biosignal. Strongest brain-peripheral correlations were observed from contacts located in the central autonomic network, in particular in the alpha, theta and 52 to 58 Hz frequency band. Furthermore, a temporal delay of 12 to 14 s between SEEG and EDA signal was observed. Finally, we believe that this pilot study demonstrates a promising approach to mapping brain-peripheral relationships in a data-driven manner by leveraging the expressiveness of deep neural networks.","PeriodicalId":93401,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH)","volume":"22 1","pages":"103-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86767980","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}

Current rPPG signal postprocessing typicall y selects a certain fixed range of the frequency in the power spectrum of the signal. This paper describes a method to use signal to noise ratio to assist in the selection the adaptive range of the frequency that may contain HRV information. UBFC-rPPG dataset is used for validation.

A distributed health care system for managing electronic medical records has various significant advantages in comparison to centralized health care systems. In a distributed system without a central authority, many threats such as data leakage by human mistake or a single point of failure are no longer feasible. A small number of recent research have proposed health care systems that have used IPFS and Blockchain as part of their security and storage components. Both have a transparent process and clear logic as a distributed system. In emergency care, access to medical records is an indisputable need to make efficient decisions fast. Current regulatory and bureaucratic processes make it near impossible to serve the data in a timely manner. This research designs a model of a break-glass mechanism for EMR management systems to provide access to healthcare professionals just in case of emergency. This conceptual model provides access to patients' records regarding patient privacy and data security, which they set previously by themselves.","PeriodicalId":93401,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH)","volume":"1 1","pages":"220-222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83021513","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}

Pervasive computational, sensing, and communication technology provided by smartphones and smart-watches have made it possible to support individuals in their everyday lives to develop healthier lifestyles. In this paper, we propose an exercise recommendation system that also predicts individual success rates. The system, consisting of two interconnected recurrent neural networks (RNNs), uses the history of workouts to recommend the next workout activity for each individual. The system then predicts the probability of successful completion of the predicted activity by the individual. The prediction accuracy of this interconnected-RNN model is assessed on previously published data from a four-week mobile health experiment and is shown to improve upon previous predictions from a computational cognitive model.","PeriodicalId":93401,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH)","volume":"14 1","pages":"148-153"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88174435","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}
