Accelerometer-based bed occupancy detection for automatic, non-invasive long-term cough monitoring

Reflectance-based detection for long term environmental monitoring

Here, the potential of colorimetric sensors utilizing porphyrin indicators for long term environmental monitoring is demonstrated. Prototype devices based on commercial color sensing chips (six per device) were combined with in-house developed algorithms for data analysis. The devices are intended to provide real-time sensing of threats. An initial outdoor data set was collected using prototype...

Sensor-based System for Automatic Cough Detection and Classification

Cough detection and classification present necessary tools for the evaluation of pathology severity in chronic illnesses. In literature, several approaches have been proposed for this aim. The latter presented a relative success since none of them allow a standardized exploitation and interpretation of sensors results in order to provide an efficient cough detection and classification. This pap...

Long-term recording and automatic analysis of cough using filtered acoustic signals and movements on static charge sensitive bed.

Reliable long-term assessment of cough is necessary in many clinical and scientific settings. A new method for long-term recording and automatic analysis of cough is presented. The method is based on simultaneous recording of two independent signals: high-pass filtered cough sounds and cough-induced fast movements of the body. The acoustic signals are recorded with a dynamic microphone in the a...

Development of Bioacoustic Tools for Long-Term, Non-invasive Monitoring of Threatened and Endangered Birds

Diagnostic Tools of Waldenströms Macroglobulinemia - Best Possibilities for Non-invasive and Long-term Disease Monitoring.

Waldenströms macroglobulinemia (WM) is a B-cell malignancy characterized by high level of monoclonal immunoglobulin M (IgM) paraprotein in blood serum and associated with the bone marrow infiltration by malignant cells with lymphoplasmacytic differentiation. WM remains incurable advances in therapy. Most of WM cases are associated with a somatic point mutation L265P in MYD88. Significantly high...
