Freezing of Gait (FoG) is one of the incapacitating motor symptoms that appear in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). FoG manifests gait impairments and imposes unforeseen difficulties in commencing the locomotion. Frequent episodes of FoG often lead to fall-related injuries and impart dreadful…
Freezing of Gait (FoG) is a paroxysmal and devitalizing symptom associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Episodes of FoG impedes gait and augments fall propensity, often leading to serious fall-injury. In this paper, we present a method for online detection of FoG using a wearable motion sensor. Th…
Abnormal heart sounds may have diverse frequency characteristics depending upon underlying pathological conditions. Designing a binary classifier for predicting normal and abnormal heart sounds using supervised learning requires a lot of training data, covering different types of cardiac abnormaliti…
Synthetic data generation has recently emerged as a substitution technique for handling the problem of bulk data needed in training machine learning algorithms. Healthcare, primarily cardiovascular domain is a major area where synthetic physiological data can be used improve accuracy of machine lear…
Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals, captured using smart phones are generally noisy in nature. Although they have been successfully used to determine heart rate from frequency domain analysis, further indirect markers like blood pressure (BP) require time domain analysis for which the signal needs t…
