Evaluation of an algorithm for optical pulse detection in children for application to the Pepper robot

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2021
To engage in socio-emotional interactions, children with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) need support to understand and convey emotions. In our approach, a humanoid robot (Pepper, Softbanks Robotics) acts as a tutor for the child within autism care. The

Advances in Electrocardiogram‐Based Non‐Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring Technology

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blood glucose monitoring is fundamental to diabetes management, yet traditional invasive methods are limited by patient discomfort and infection risks. In recent years, electrocardiogram (ECG), a conventional tool for cardiovascular assessment, has gained attention as a prospective method for non‐invasive blood glucose monitoring.

Pulse Rate Variability Analysis Using Remote Photoplethysmography Signals

Sensors, 2021
Pulse rate variability (PRV) refers to the change in the interval between pulses in the blood volume pulse (BVP) signal acquired using photoplethysmography (PPG). PRV is an indicator of the health status of an individual’s autonomic nervous system.

Technologies for equine welfare and performance monitoring under field conditions – Where do we stand?

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The need for comprehensive equine welfare assessments has become particularly evident amid ongoing debates about the social licence to operate in equestrian sports. During exercise, multiple physiological systems, principally the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, thermoregulatory, endocrine, and locomotory systems, undergo complex ...
