Miniature ambulatory skin conductance monitor and algorithm for investigating hot flash events.
A skin conductance monitoring system was developed and shown to reliably acquire and record hot flash events in both supervised laboratory and unsupervised ambulatory conditions. The 7.2 × 3.8 × 1.2 cm(3) monitor consists of a disposable adhesive patch supporting two hydrogel electrodes and a reusable, miniaturized, enclosed electronic circuit board that snaps onto the electrodes. The monitor m...
متن کاملPatient Satisfaction with Miniature, Ambulatory, Postmenopausal Hot Flash Recorder
Although much research is underway to develop new treatments for postmenopausal hot flashes, it is hindered by a lack of suitable outcome measures. Therefore, the author invented a miniature, ambulatory hot flash recorder. The purpose of this study was to ascertain patient satisfaction with this device. Subjects were 38 postmenopausal women reporting frequent hot flashes. They wore the recorder...
متن کاملIntroduction to the symposium on Ambulatory Skin Conductance
Ambulatory skin conductance as we see it now emerging on the market with products like the Affectiva Qsensor and the Basis B1, was promoted already in 1997 by Picard and Healey [1]. Also prototype devices such as the Empatica E3, the Smartband, and the Philips DTI-2 ([3] and figure 1) typically measure skin conductance at the base of the wrist, since this is a convenient measurement position. H...
متن کاملAn ambulatory dyskinesia monitor.
OBJECTIVES New treatments are now becoming available for the management of levodopa induced dyskinesias in Parkinsons's disease. However, assessment of their efficacy is limited by the inadequacies of current methods of dyskinesia measurement. The objective was to develop and validate a portable device capable of objectively measuring dyskinesias during normal daily activities. METHODS A port...
متن کاملSupport Vector Machines to improve physiologic hot flash measures: application to the ambulatory setting.
Most midlife women have hot flashes. The conventional criterion (≥2 μmho rise/30 s) for classifying hot flashes physiologically has shown poor performance. We improved this performance in the laboratory with Support Vector Machines (SVMs), a pattern classification method. We aimed to compare conventional to SVM methods to classify hot flashes in the ambulatory setting. Thirty-one women with hot...
