A Real –Time Continuous Monitoring of Health Using Wearable Biosensors
-Biosensors are analytical tools for the analysis of bio-material samples to gain an understanding of their biocomposition, structure and function by converting a biological response into an electrical signal. Wearable Biosensors (WBS) are the biosensors which can be worn on the body. Recent advancements in miniature devices have fostered a dramatic growth of interest of wearable technology. We...
متن کاملA pilot study of a wearable apnoea detection device
RATIONALE Current techniques for monitoring patients for apnoea suffer from significant limitations. These include insufficient availability to meet diagnostic needs, cost, accuracy of results in the presence of artefacts and difficulty of use in unsupervised conditions. OBJECTIVES We created and clinically tested a novel miniature medical device that targets overcoming these limitations. M...
متن کاملAdjunctive use of electroconvulsive therapy in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and drug-resistant epilepsy: A pilot study
Background: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is an epileptic encephalopathy, characterized by drug-resistant multiple seizure types. The aim of this study was to determine if the adjunctive use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with LGS and drug-resistant epilepsy is efficacious in decreasing their seizure frequency and also to investigate its safety and tolerability. Method...
متن کاملMobile Real-Time Stress Detection
Prolonged exposure to stress can cause serious mental and physical illnesses. Therefore, it is important that people are aware of stressful situations, so that they can take necessary actions to cope with them. We introduce a mobile system that is able to detect stress in individuals in real-time based on electrocardiogram and electrodermal activity. The system is built around an Android smartp...
متن کاملA rapid, early detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma: Real time PCR based detection of tetranectin
The current study is focused on determining the mRNA expression levels of tetranectin, to detect oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and thus aiding in its classification at an early stage. RNA was isolated and cDNA synthesis was performed from the saliva samples of the patients and healthy individuals. A semiquantitative PCR based analysis was performed prior to quantitative and expression bas...
