Personalized Understanding of Blood Glucose Dynamics via Mobile Sensor Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Continuous Blood Glucose (CGM) monitors have revolutionized the ability of diabetics to manage their blood glucose, and paved the way for artificial pancreas systems. In this paper we augment CGM data with sensor input collected by a smart phone and use it to provide analytical tools for patients and clinicians.

A binary search scheme for determining all contaminated specimens [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Specimens are collected from $N$ different sources. Each specimen has probability $p$ of being contaminated (e.g., in the case of an infectious disease, $p$ is the prevalence rate), independently of the other specimens. In many cases group testing is applicable, namely one can take small portions from several specimens, mix them together and test the ...

A Two-Stage Stochastic Programming Model for Blood Supply Chain Management, Considering Facility Disruption and Service Level [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this paper, a blood supply chain network, where the occurrence of disruption might interrupt the flow of Red Blood Cells, is dealt with. In principle, the probability of disruption is not the only property confiding the network, but unprecedented fluctuations in supplies and demands also contribute to the network shortages and outdated blood units ...

Adaptive Gray World-Based Color Normalization of Thin Blood Film Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 This paper presents an effective color normalization method for thin blood film images of peripheral blood specimens. Thin blood film images can easily be separated to foreground (cell) and background (plasma) parts. The color of the plasma region is used to estimate and reduce the differences arising from different illumination conditions.

Statistical Analysis of Behavioral Intention Towards Private Umbilical Cord Blood Banking [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework to identify the key dimensions affecting behavioral intention to bank umbilical cord blood in Iran. We examine the impact of awareness, reference group, usability, disease history, and price on perceived risk and behavioral intention to use umbilical cord blood banking service.
