  • Publication number: 20240324936
    Abstract: An electrocardiograph (ECG) signal enhancement method based on a novel generative adversarial network (GAN) effectively enhances a capability of a generator model for understanding and expressing input data by using a multi-branch structure of bi-directional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) neural networks with different quantities of hidden neurons, and stitching outputs of last time steps of forward propagation of the different BiLSTM networks. A new ECG signal enhancement module EEA-Net is proposed, which uses an adaptive convolutional layer to dynamically adjust a size of a convolution kernel, making the model more flexible in processing input sequences of different lengths. In addition, the model uses an adaptive average pooling layer to perform weighted average pooling on the input data to better capture important information of the input data.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and devices for measuring and/or analysing the movement of a user to analyse the pronation and supination movements periods of a user. In particular, a medical biomarker indicative of a neurodegenerative disease or other disease impacting musculature control is determined. The method begins by receiving motion data from a sensor held or mounted for rotation with a body part of the user during a repeated rotational motion of the body part. The received data are processed to identify the orientation in a frame of reference associated with the sensor of mutually perpendicular primary, secondary, and tertiary axes of rotation for the motion of the body part of the user. The medical biomarker is then extracted by analysing the rotational motion of the body part of the user about at least one of the primary, secondary, and tertiary axes.

  • Publication number: 20240324948
    Abstract: The disclosure deals with methodology and involved or associated systems for using infrared technology to detect tissue damage below the skin. Pressure and shear stress can damage the microvascular structure below the skin, which is not visible to the naked eye. Infrared thermography is a non-invasive mechanism to measure skin temperature via thermal radiation. Changes (restrictions) in blood flow below the skin can result in microvascular damage to the tissue, and directly impact skin temperature, which can be detected by infrared thermography. Infrared thermography can detect these changes at the site of tissue damage. This disclosure uses affordable infrared thermography to detect changes in temperature related to blood flow alterations, supported with AI. Using serial images, AI can detect an emerging DFU (Diabetic Foot Ulcer) in DM (Diabetes Mellitus) patients through deviations in skin temperature.

A software-only sleep disruption monitoring solution can be based on millimeter-wave (mmWave) wireless-based solutions which leverage cross-correlation between successive mmWave reflected signals and a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to identify respective sleep (rest) and disruptions (toss-turn) periods. A toss-turn detector module can identify sudden movements during sleep from mmWave wireless signals and classify the sleeping period into the two states: Rest or toss-turn. Whenever mmWave transceivers (such as included in 5G-and-beyond devices) are implemented as access points, in mass privacy non-invasive sleep disruption monitoring can be provided for consumers at home.

    Abstract: A system for incontinence prediction includes an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) device, a posture detector, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the EIT device and the posture detector. The EIT device may include a plurality of electrodes configured to be worn at a lower abdomen of a user around the bladder. The one or more processors is configured to collect an EIT image generated by the EIT device, a posture generated by the posture detector, and a planning activity of the user. The one or more processors may further determine a bladder status based on the EIT image of the user, predict an incontinence risk based on the bladder status, the posture, and the planning activity of the user and determine a high-risk point indicating a high incontinence risk, and notify the user or a caregiver of the high incontinence risk at the high-risk point.

  • Publication number: 20240324971
    Abstract: A synchronisation system comprises aa sensor arrangement to detect a trigger base event. An analysis module and an arithmetic unit are configured to access prior information on a time delay between the sensor arrangement's detection of the trigger base and a starting point of an acquisition time interval for acquiring imaging data. The starting point is computed of the acquisition time interval from the detected trigger base event and the prior information of the time delay. The time delay between the sensor arrangement's detection of the trigger base event and the acquisition time interval may vary between individual subjects, but for each individual subject the time delay is well reproducible and hence on a per subject basis may be calibrated for.

    Abstract: The system includes a computed tomography gantry, a cart, a rail system, a rotary bearing and a lifting apparatus. In a translational operating state of the system, the cart is mounted to be movable along the rail system in a first translational motion along the rail system. The computed tomography gantry, the rotary bearing and the lifting apparatus are each held in the cart such that they follow the first translational motion of the cart. In the transitional operating state of the system, the cart is mounted to be movable, via the lifting apparatus, along a vertical axis of rotation relative to the rail system in a lifting motion, wherein the computed tomography gantry is held in the cart and follows the lifting motion of the cart relative to the rail system.

  • Publication number: 20240324975
    Abstract: By combining a plurality of protective devices (PD), the present invention makes it possible to allow good transmission of primary X-rays and to reduce the strength of scattered X-rays in all directions. The scattered X-rays to be reduced are: those from above and from the sides for an additional shield box 1, which is a PD; and those from below for a high-performance table 2. Furthermore, by combining protective instruments in addition to PDs, it is possible to reduce the strength of scattered X-rays that leak to the sides from a pass-through port of a box due to human body movements during a surgery. Further using composite absorption material in various locations enables lineal energy absorption, with scattered X-rays being weakened. Thus, it is possible to reduce the radiation exposure of the patient and the medical worker and reduce the burden of protection for the medical worker.
