Publication number: 20230404461Abstract: State of art techniques hardly provide data balancing for multi-label multi-class data. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for identifying cardiac abnormality in multi-lead ECGs using a Hybrid Neural Network (HNN) with fulcrum based data re-balancing for data comprising multiclass-multilabel cardiac abnormalities. The fulcrum based dataset re-balancing disclosed enables maintaining natural balance of the data, control the re-sample volume, and still support the lowly represented classes there by aiding proper training of the DL architecture. The HNN disclosed by the method utilizes a hybrid approach of pure CNN, a tuned-down version of ResNet, and a set of handcrafted features from a raw ECG signal that are concatenated prior to predicting the multiclass output for the ECG signal. The number of features is flexible and enables adding additional domain-specific features as needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: VARSHA SHARMA, AYAN MUKHERJEE, MURALI PODUVAL, SUNDEEP KHANDELWAL, ANIRBAN DUTTA CHOUDHURY, CHIRAYATA BHATTACHARYYA

Patent number: 11817217Abstract: Sepsis is one of the most prevalent causes of mortality in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and delayed treatment is associated with increase in death and financial burden. There is no single laboratory test or clinical sign that by itself can be considered diagnostic of sepsis. The present disclosure provides discriminating domain specific continuous and categorical features that can reliably classify a subject being monitored into a sepsis class or a normal class. A combination of physiological parameters, laboratory parameters and demographic details are used to extract the discriminating features. Even though the parameters may be sporadic in nature, the systems and methods of the present disclosure make use of a sliding time window to generate continuous features that capture the trend in the sporadic data; and a binning approach to generate categorical features to discriminate deviation from the normal class and facilitate timely treatment.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Varsha Sharma, Chirayata Bhattacharyya, Tanuka Bhattacharjee, Murali Poduval, Sundeep Khandelwal, Anirban Dutta Choudhury

Patent number: 11619509Abstract: Reckless behavior of drivers like, speeding, sudden acceleration and swerving through lanes can cause fatality and financial loss. Conventional methods mainly focus on driving style classification. The conventional methods mainly focus on driver classification and are not able to provide trip classification of a driver. Hence there is a challenge in trip classification of the driver based on acceleration data. The present disclosure for trip classification addresses the problem of end to end trip classification based on the acceleration data. Here, a journey is segmented into a plurality of sub-journey segments and each sub-journey segment is associated with a plurality of driving events. An event score is calculated for each sub-journey and a normalization is performed on the event score. Further, the journey is classified into at least one of good, average or bad based on the normalized data by utilizing a fuzzy based classification.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITEDInventors: Varsha Sharma, Arijit Chowdhury

Publication number: 20220359078Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to patient invariant model for freezing of gait detection based on empirical wavelet decomposition. The method receives a motion data from an accelerometer sensor coupled to an ankle of a subject. The motion data is further processed to denoise a plurality of data windows using a peak detection technique to classify into a real motion data window or a noisy data window. Further, a plurality of denoised data windows are generated by processing spectrums associated with each real motion data window and a plurality of empirical modes using an empirical wavelet decomposition technique (EWT). Then, a resultant acceleration is computed, and a plurality of features are extracted from the denoised data window which enables detection of freezing of gait based on a pretrained classifier model into a (i) a positive class, or (ii) a negative class.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Shivam SINGHAL, Nasimuddin Ahmed, Varsha Sharma, Sakyajit Bhattacharya, Aniruddha Sinha, Avik Ghose

Patent number: 11490824Abstract: While performing heart rate estimation of a user, if the user is in motion, a signal is measured and is likely to have noise data, which in turn affects accuracy of estimated heart rate value. Method and system for heart rate estimation when the user is in motion is disclosed. The system estimates value of a noise signal present in a measured PPG signal by performing a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of an accelerometer signal collected along with the PPG signal. The system further estimates value of a true cardiac signal for a time window, based on value of the true cardiac signal in a pre-defined number of previous time windows. The system then estimates frequency spectrum of a clean PPG signal based on the estimated noise signal and the true cardiac signal. The system further performs heart rate estimation based on the clean PPG signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Shalini Mukhopadhyay, Nasimuddin Ahmed, Arijit Chowdhury, Varsha Sharma, Avik Ghose
