Das klinische Standardverfahren und Referenz der Schlafmessung und der Klassifizierung der einzelnen Schlafstadien ist die Polysomnographie (PSG). Alternative Ansätze zu diesem aufwändigen Verfahren könnten einige Vorteile bieten, wenn die Messungen auf eine komfortablere Weise durchgeführt werden. Das Hauptziel dieser Forschung Studie ist es, einen Algorithmus für die automatische Klassifizierung von Schlafstadien zu entwickeln, der ausschließlich Bewegungs- und Atmungssignale verwendet.
This work is a study about a comparison of survey tools and it should help developers in selecting a suited tool for application in an AAL environment. The first step was to identify the basic required functionality of the survey tools used for AAL technologies and to compare these tools by their functionality and assignments. The comparative study was derived from the data obtained, previous literature studies and further technical data. A list of requirements was stated and ordered in terms of relevance to the target application domain. With the help of an integrated assessment method, the calculation of a generalized estimate value was performed and the result is explained. Finally, the planned application of this tool in a running project is explained.
Present demographic change and a growing population of elderly people leads to new medical needs. Meeting these with state of the art technology is as a consequence a rapidly growing market. So this work is aimed at taking modern concepts of mobile and sensor technology and putting them in a medical context. By measuring a user’s vital signs on sensors which are processed on a Android smartphone, the target system is able to determine the current health state of the user and to visualize gathered information. The system also includes a weather forecasting functionality, which alerts the user on possibly dangerous future meteorological events. All information are collected centrally and distributed to users based on their location. Further, the system can correlate the client-side measurement of vital signs with a server-side weather history. This enables personalized forecasting for each user individually. Finally, a portable and affordable application was developed that continuously monitors the health status by many vital sensors, all united on a common smartphone.
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.
The influence of sleep on human health is enormous. Accordingly, sleep disorders can have a negative impact on it. To avoid this, they should be identified and treated in time. For this purpose, objective (with an appropriate device) or subjective (based on perceived values) measurement methods are used for sleep analysis to understand the problem. The aim of this work is to find out whether an exchange of the two methods is possible and can provide reliable results. In accordance with this goal, a study was conducted with people aged over 65 years old (a total of 154 night-time recordings) in which both measurement methods were compared. Sleep questionnaires and electronic devices for sleep assessment placed under the mattress were applied to achieve the study aims. The obtained results indicated that the correlation between both measurement methods could be observed for sleep characteristics such as total sleep time, total time in bed and sleep efficiency. However, there are also significant differences in absolute values of the two measurement approaches for some subjects/nights, which leads us to conclude that the substitution is more likely to be considered in case of long-term monitoring where the trends are of more importance and not the absolute values for individual nights.
Home health applications have evolved over the last few decades. Assistive systems such as a data platform in connection with health devices can allow for health-related data to be automatically transmitted to a database. However, there remain significant challenges concerning intermodular communication. Central among them is the challenge of achieving interoperability, the ability of devices to communicate and share data with each other. A major goal of this project was to extend an existing data platform (COMES®) and establish working interoperability by connecting assistive devices with differing approaches. We describe this process for a sleep monitoring and a physical exercise device. Furthermore, we aimed to test this setup and the implementation with a data platform in both a laboratory and an in-home setting with 11 elderly participants. The platform modification was realized, and the relevant changes were made so that the incoming data could be processed by the data platform, as well as visually displayed in real-time. Data was recorded by the respective device and transmitted into the data server with minor disruptions. Our observations affirmed that difficulties and data loss are far more likely to occur with increasing technical complexity, in the event of instable internet connection, or when the device setup requires (elderly) subjects to take specific steps for proper functioning. We emphasize the importance for tests and evaluations of home health technologies in real-life circumstances.
In diesem Beitrag wird eine Methode des maschinellen Lernens entwickelt, die die Schlafstadienerkennung untersucht. Übliche Methoden der Schlafanalyse basieren auf der Polysomnographie (PSG). Der präsentierte Ansatz basiert auf Signalen, die ausschließlich nicht-invasiv in einer häuslichen Umgebung gemessen werden können. Bewegungs-, Herzschlags- und Atmungssignale können vergleichsweise leicht erfasst werden aber die Erkennung der Schlafstadien ist dadurch erschwert. Die Signale werden als Zeitreihenfolge strukturiert und in Epochen überführt. Die Leistungsfähigkeit von maschinellem Lernen wird der Polysomnographie gegenübergestellt und bewertet.
Stress is a recognized as a predominant disease with growing costs of treatment. The approach presented here is aimed to detect stress using a light weighted, mobile, cheap and easy to use system. The result shows that stress can be detected even in case a person’s natural bio vital data is out of the main range. The system enables storage of measured data, while maintaining communication channels of online and post-processing.
In previous studies, we used a method for detecting stress that was based exclusively on heart rate and ECG for differentiation between such situations as mental stress, physical activity, relaxation, and rest. As a response of the heart to these situations, we observed different behavior in the Root Mean Square of the Successive differences heartbeats (RMSSD). This study aims to analyze Virtual Reality via a virtual reality headset as an effective stressor for future works. The value of the Root Mean Square of the Successive Differences is an important marker for the parasympathetic effector on the heart and can provide information about stress. For these measurements, the RR interval was collected using a breast belt. In these studies, we can observe the Root Mean Square of the successive differences heartbeats. Additional sensors for the analysis were not used. We conducted experiments with ten subjects that had to drive a simulator for 25 minutes using monitors and 25 minutes using virtual reality headset. Before starting and after finishing each simulation, the subjects had to complete a survey in which they had to describe their mental state. The experiment results show that driving using virtual reality headset has some influence on the heart rate and RMSSD, but it does not significantly increase the stress of driving.
A residual neural network was adapted and applied to the Physionet/Computing data in Cardiology Challenge 2020 to detect 24 different classes of cardiac abnormalities from 12-lead. Additive Gaussian noise, signal shifting, and the classification of signal sections of different lengths were applied to prevent the network from overfitting and facilitating generalization. Due to the use of a global pooling layer after the feature extractor, the network is independent of the signal’s length. On the hidden test set of the challenge, the model achieved a validation score of 0.656 and a full test score of 0.27, placing us 15th out of 41 officially ranked teams (Team name: UC_Lab_Kn). These results show the potential of deep neural networks for ap- plication to raw data and a complex multi-class multi-label classification problem, even if the training data is from di- verse datasets and of differing lengths.
