Core Body Temperature and its Role in Detecting Acute Stress: A Feasibility Study

ICASSP 2024accepted

Core body temperature (CBT) is one of the critical yet under-explored phenomena in the context of stress detection. Several CBT measurement methods exist, but they are often limited in continuous CBT monitoring. Furthermore, how continuous CBT can be used to model acute stress is little explored. We…

Freq2Time: Weakly Supervised Learning of Camera-Based RPPG from Heart Rate

ICASSP 2024accepted

Camera-based pulse measurements from remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) have rapidly improved over recent years due to innovations in video processing and deep learning. However, modern data-driven solutions require large training datasets collected under diverse conditions. Collecting such training…

Ubilung: Multi-Modal Passive-Based Lung Health Assessment

ICASSP 2022accepted

Lung health assessment is traditionally done mainly through X-ray images and spirometry tests which are time-consuming, cumbersome, and costly. In this paper, we investigate the potential of passively recordable contents such as speech, cough and heart signal for such an assessment. Our regression m…
