Deep learning diagnostic and severity-stratification for interstitial lung diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in digital lung auscultations and ultrasonography: clinical protocol for an observational case-control study

Mary-Anne Hartley, Jonathan Dönz

BackgroundInterstitial lung diseases (ILD), such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are severe, progressive pulmonary disorders with a poor prognosis. Prom ...

DeepBreath-automated detection of respiratory pathology from lung auscultation in 572 pediatric outpatients across 5 countries

Martin Jaggi, Mary-Anne Hartley, Tatjana Chavdarova, Jonathan Dönz

The interpretation of lung auscultation is highly subjective and relies on non-specific nomenclature. Computer-aided analysis has the potential to better standardize and automate evaluation. We used 35.9 hours of auscultation audio from 572 pediatric outpa ...

Respiratory rate estimation from the ECG using an instantaneous frequency tracking algorithm

Jean-Marc Vesin, Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi

Monitoring the respiratory rate (RR) is important in many clinical and non-clinical situations but it is difficult in practice, for existing devices are obtrusive, bulky and expensive. The extraction of the RR from the routinely acquired electrocardiogram ...

Sleep Apnea Detection using Features from the Respiration and the ECG recorded with Smart-Shirts

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Andréa Buttu, Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi, Sibylle Fallet

The automatic detection of sleep apnea episodes, without the need of polysomnography and outside a clinical facility, could help facilitate the diagnosis of this disorder. In this work, features to detect sleep apnea events were computed from respiration a ...

Brachial artery waveforms for automatic blood pressure measurement

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Theoretically the auscultatory method using Korotkoff sounds is more related to the maximum artery closure status, while the oscillometric method is more related to the overall artery closure status under the cuff. Therefore, the latter is less accurate th ...

Embedded Real-Time ECG Delineation Methods: a Comparative Evaluation

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Francisco Javier Rincon Vallejos, Ruben Braojos Lopez

Wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) have recently evolved to include a fair amount of computational power, so that advanced signal processing algorithms can now be embedded even in this extremely low-power platforms. An increasingly successful field of applicatio ...

An assessment of ductus venosus tapering and wave transmission from the fetal heart

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Pressure and flow pulsations in the fetal heart propagate through the precordial vein and the ductus venosus (DV) but are normally not transmitted into the umbilical vein (UV). Pulsations in the umbilical vein do occur, however, in early pregnancy and in p ...

Adaptive frequency tracking and application to biomedical signals

Yann Prudat

The main information of a signal resides in its frequency, its amplitude (or its power) and in their temporal evolution. Thus, a great number of methods for instantaneous frequency estimation have been proposed in the literature. Most of these algorithms u ...

Myocardial Motion Analysis from B-Mode Echocardiograms

Michaël Unser, Michael Sühling, Muthuvel Arigovindan

The quantitative assessment of cardiac motion is a fundamental concept to evaluate ventricular malfunction. We present a new optical-flow-based method for estimating heart motion from two-dimensional echocardiographic sequences. To account for typical hear ...
