Noncontact Monitoring and AI-Driven Stroke Prediction: National Center for Neurological Disorders-Based Approach Using Smart Beds. [PDF]
The burden of stroke is extremely heavy. Current prehospital tools are not suitable for identifying stroke while a patient is asleep. This study successfully identified strokes by combining three types of easily accessible temporal and static features in hospitals.

Disrupted Sleep at Night is Associated with a Higher Level of Agitation Throughout the Week in People Living with Cognitive Decline [PDF]
Abstract Background Agitation is one of the most challenging behaviors exhibited by people with cognitive decline, causing distress in caregivers, earlier placement into long‐term care and faster disease progression. In order to better manage agitated behaviors in people with cognitive decline, it is important to identify associated factors.

The kinocardiograph for assessment of fluid status in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. [PDF]
Abstract Aims To improve telemonitoring strategies in heart failure patients, there is a need for novel non‐obtrusive sensors that monitor parameters closely related to intracardiac filling pressures. This proof‐of‐concept study aims to evaluate the responsiveness of cardiac kinetic energy (KE) measured with the Kinocardiograph (KCG), consisting of a ...

Non-obtrusive monitoring of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome based on ballistocardiography: a preliminary study [PDF]
IntroductionObstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) degrades sleep quality and is associated with serious health conditions. Instead of the gold-standard polysomnography requiring complex equipment and expertise, a non-obtrusive device such as ...
