The principal objective of this study is to investigate the impact of perceived stress on traffic and road safety. Therefore, we designed a study that allows the generation and collection of stress-relevant data. Drivers often experience stress due to their perception of lack of control during the driving process. This can lead to an increased likelihood of traffic accidents, driver errors, and traffic violations. To explore this phenomenon, we used the Stress Perceived Questionnaire (PSQ) to evaluate perceived stress levels during driving simulations and the EPQR questionnaire to determine the personality of the driver. With the presented study, participants can categorised based on their emotional stability and personality traits. Wearable devices were utilised to monitor each participant's instantaneous heart rate (HR) due to their non-intrusive and portable nature. The findings of this study deliver an overview of the link between stress and traffic and road safety. These findings can be utilised for future research and implementing strategies to reduce road accidents and promote traffic safety.
Development of an expert system to overpass citizens technological barriers on smart home and living
(2023)
Adopting new technologies can be overwhelming, even for people with experience in the field. For the general public, learning about new implementations, releases, brands, and enhancements can cause them to lose interest. There is a clear need to create point sources and platforms that provide helpful information about the novel and smart technologies, assisting users, technicians, and providers with products and technologies. The purpose of these platforms is twofold, as they can gather and share information on interests common to manufacturers and vendors. This paper presents the ”Finde-Dein-SmartHome” tool. Developed in association with the Smart Home & Living competence center [5] to help users learn about, understand, and purchase available technologies that meet their home automation needs. This tool aims to lower the usability barrier and guide potential customers to clear their doubts about privacy and pricing. Communities can use the information provided by this tool to identify market trends that could eventually lower costs for providers and incentivize access to innovative home technologies and devices supporting long-term care.
The development of automatic solutions for the detection of physiological events of interest is booming. Improvements in the collection and storage of large amounts of healthcare data allow access to these data faster and more efficiently. This fact means that the development of artificial intelligence models for the detection and monitoring of a large number of pathologies is becoming increasingly common in the medical field. In particular, developing deep learning models for detecting obstructive apnea (OSA) events is at the forefront. Numerous scientific studies focus on the architecture of the models and the results that these models can provide in terms of OSA classification and Apnea-Hypopnea-Index (AHI) calculation. However, little focus is put on other aspects of great relevance that are crucial for the training and performance of the models. Among these aspects can be found the set of physiological signals used and the preprocessing tasks prior to model training. This paper covers the essential requirements that must be considered before training the deep learning model for obstructive sleep apnea detection, in addition to covering solutions that currently exist in the scientific literature by analyzing the preprocessing tasks prior to training.
Sleep is extremely important for physical and mental health. Although polysomnography is an established approach in sleep analysis, it is quite intrusive and expensive. Consequently, developing a non-invasive and non-intrusive home sleep monitoring system with minimal influence on patients, that can reliably and accurately measure cardiorespiratory parameters, is of great interest. The aim of this study is to validate a non-invasive and unobtrusive cardiorespiratory parameter monitoring system based on an accelerometer sensor. This system includes a special holder to install the system under the bed mattress. The additional aim is to determine the optimum relative system position (in relation to the subject) at which the most accurate and precise values of measured parameters could be achieved. The data were collected from 23 subjects (13 males and 10 females). The obtained ballistocardiogram signal was sequentially processed using a sixth-order Butterworth bandpass filter and a moving average filter. As a result, an average error (compared to reference values) of 2.24 beats per minute for heart rate and 1.52 breaths per minute for respiratory rate was achieved, regardless of the subject’s sleep position. For males and females, the errors were 2.28 bpm and 2.19 bpm for heart rate and 1.41 rpm and 1.30 rpm for respiratory rate. We determined that placing the sensor and system at chest level is the preferred configuration for cardiorespiratory measurement. Further studies of the system’s performance in larger groups of subjects are required, despite the promising results of the current tests in healthy subjects.
The respiratory rate is a vital sign indicating breathing illness. It is necessary to analyze the mechanical oscillations of the patient's body arising from chest movements. An inappropriate holder on which the sensor is mounted, or an inappropriate sensor position is some of the external factors which should be minimized during signal registration. This paper considers using a non-invasive device placed under the bed mattress and evaluates the respiratory rate. The aim of the work is the development of an accelerometer sensor holder for this system. The normal and deep breathing signals were analyzed, corresponding to the relaxed state and when taking deep breaths. The evaluation criterion for the holder's model is its influence on the patient's respiratory signal amplitude for each state. As a result, we offer a non-invasive system of respiratory rate detection, including the mechanical component providing the most accurate values of mentioned respiratory rate.
The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of perceived stress on traffic and road safety. One of the leading causes of stress among drivers is the feeling of having a lack of control during the driving process. Stress can result in more traffic accidents, an increase in driver errors, and an increase in traffic violations. To study this phenomenon, the Stress Perceived Questionnaire (PSQ) was used to evaluate the perceived stress while driving in a simulation. The study was conducted with participants from Germany, and they were grouped into different categories based on their emotional stability. Each participant was monitored using wearable devices that measured their instantaneous heart rate (HR). The preference for wearable devices was due to their non-intrusive and portable nature. The results of this study provide an overview of how stress can affect traffic and road safety, which can be used for future research or to implement strategies to reduce road accidents and promote traffic safety.
Generating synthetic data is a relevant point in the machine learning community. As accessible data is limited, the generation of synthetic data is a significant point in protecting patients' privacy and having more possibilities to train a model for classification or other machine learning tasks. In this work, some generative adversarial networks (GAN) variants are discussed, and an overview is given of how generative adversarial networks can be used for data generation in different fields. In addition, some common problems of the GANs and possibilities to avoid them are shown. Different evaluation methods of the generated data are also described.
Sleep analysis using a Polysomnography system is difficult and expensive. That is why we suggest a non-invasive and unobtrusive measurement. Very few people want the cables or devices attached to their bodies during sleep. The proposed approach is to implement a monitoring system, so the subject is not bothered. As a result, the idea is a non-invasive monitoring system based on detecting pressure distribution. This system should be able to measure the pressure differences that occur during a single heartbeat and during breathing through the mattress. The system consists of two blocks signal acquisition and signal processing. This whole technology should be economical to be affordable enough for every user. As a result, preprocessed data is obtained for further detailed analysis using different filters for heartbeat and respiration detection. In the initial stage of filtration, Butterworth filters are used.
Determination of accelerometer sensor position for respiration rate detection: Initial research
(2022)
Continuous monitoring of a patient's vital signs is essential in many chronic illnesses. The respiratory rate (RR) is one of the vital signs indicating breathing diseases. This article proposes the initial investigation for determining the accelerometric sensor position of a non-invasive and unobtrusive respiratory rate monitoring system. This research aims to determine the sensor position in relation to the patient, which can provide the most accurate values of the mentioned physiological parameter. In order to achieve the result, the particular system setup, including a mechanical sensor holder construction was used. The breathing signals from 5 participants were analyzed corresponding to the relaxed state. The main criterion for selecting a suitable sensor position was each patient's average acceleration amplitude excursion, which corresponds to the respiratory signal. As a result, we provided one more defined important parameter for the considered system, which was not determined before.
oday many scientific works are using deep learning algorithms and time series, which can detect physiological events of interest. In sleep medicine, this is particularly relevant in detecting sleep apnea, specifically in detecting obstructive sleep apnea events. Deep learning algorithms with different architectures are used to achieve decent results in accuracy, sensitivity, etc. Although there are models that can reliably determine apnea and hypopnea events, another essential aspect to consider is the explainability of these models, i.e., why a model makes a particular decision. Another critical factor is how these deep learning models determine how severe obstructive sleep apnea is in patients based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Deep learning models trained by two approaches for AHI determination are exposed in this work. Approaches vary depending on the data format the models are fed: full-time series and window-based time series.
