Multimodal Classification of Stressful Environments in Visually Impaired Mobility Using EEG and Peripheral Biosignals [PDF]
In this study, we aim to better understand the cognitive-emotional experience of visually impaired people when navigating in unfamiliar urban environments, both outdoor and indoor. We propose a multimodal framework based on random forest classifiers, which predict the actual environment among predefined generic classes of urban settings, inferring on ...

Utility of continuous electrocardiographic monitoring in pregnant women with cardiovascular disease
Background: Arrhythmias are a common complication in pregnant women with heart disease. While continuous electrocardiographic monitoring is a useful tool for diagnosis, it also has significant associated costs, and identifying which pregnant women are ...

A Graph-constrained Changepoint Detection Approach for ECG Segmentation [PDF]
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is the most commonly used non-invasive tool in the assessment of cardiovascular diseases. Segmentation of the ECG signal to locate its constitutive waves, in particular the R-peaks, is a key step in ECG processing and analysis.

A spectral-spatial fusion model for robust blood pulse waveform extraction in photoplethysmographic imaging [PDF]
Photoplethysmographic imaging is a camera-based solution for non-contact cardiovascular monitoring from a distance. This technology enables monitoring in situations where contact-based devices may be problematic or infeasible, such as ambulatory, sleep, and multi-individual monitoring.

Airflow recovery from thoracic and abdominal movements using Synchrosqueezing Transform and Locally Stationary Gaussian Process Regression [PDF]
Airflow signal encodes rich information about respiratory system. While the gold standard for measuring airflow is to use a spirometer with an occlusive seal, this is not practical for ambulatory monitoring of patients. Advances in sensor technology have made measurement of motion of the thorax and abdomen feasible with small inexpensive devices, but ...

Influence of some cardiovascular risk factors on the rela-tionship between age and blood pressure [PDF]
Blood Pressure (BP) is a biological signal related to the cardiovascular system that inevitably is affected by ageing. Moreover, it is also influenced by the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. To evaluate how the relationship be-tween BP and age changes with the presence of risk factors in hypertensive and normotensive subjects, we analyzed 880 ...
