Abstract
Reflectance-based photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensors provide flexible options of measuring sites for blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurement. But they are mostly limited by accuracy, especially when applied to different subjects, due to the diverse human characteristics (skin colors, hair density, etc.) and usage conditions of different sensor settings. This study addresses the estimation of SpO2 at non-standard measuring sites employing reflectance-based sensors. It proposes an automated construction of subject inclusion-exclusion criteria for SpO2 measuring devices, using a combination of unsupervised clustering, supervised regression, and model explanations. This is perhaps among the first adaptation of SHAP to explain the clusters gleaned from unsupervised learning methods. As a wellness application case study, we developed a pillow-based wearable device to collect reflectance PPGs from both the brachiocephalic and carotid arteries around the neck. The experiment was conducted on 33 subjects, each under totally 80 different sensor settings. The proposed approach addressed the variations of humans and devices, as well as the heterogeneous mapping between signals and SpO2 values. It identified effective device settings and characteristics of their applicable subject groups (i.e., subject inclusion-exclusion criteria). Overall, it reduced the root mean squared error (RMSE) by 16%, compared to an empirical formula and a plain SpO2 estimation model.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:6106. [PMID: 37447955 DOI: 10.3390/s23136106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
In this research, a pulse oximeter based on quadrature multiplexing of AM-PPG signals is proposed. The oximeter is operated by a microcontroller and employs a simple amplitude modulation technique to mitigate noise interference during SpO2 measurement. The two AM-PPG signals (RED and IR) are quadrature multiplexed using carrier signals with equal frequencies but a 90-degree phase difference. The study focused on noise interference caused by light intensity and hand movement. The experiment was conducted under three different levels of light intensity: 200 Lux, 950 Lux, and 2200 Lux. For each light intensity level, the SpO2 level was measured under three scenarios: hand still, shadow movement over the hand, and hand shaking. A comparison between the proposed technique and the conventional method reveals that the proposed technique offers a superior performance. The relative error of the measured SpO2 level using the proposed technique was less than 3.1% overall. Based on the study, the proposed technique is less affected by noise interference caused by light intensity and hand movement compared to the conventional method. In addition, the proposed technique has an advantage over contemporary methods in terms of computational complexity. Consequently, the proposed technique can be applied to wearable devices that include SpO2 measurement functionality.

Abstract
Sleep apnea (SA) is a common breathing disease, with clinical manifestations of sleep snoring at night with apnea and daytime sleepiness. It could lead to ischemic heart disease, stroke, or even sudden death. SpO2 signal is highly related to SA, and many automatic SA detection methods have been proposed. However, extant work focuses on small datasets with relatively few subjects (less than 100) and is unaware of SA syndromes occurring about 5 seconds prior to the SpO2 change. This study proposes an automatic SA detector called DSCNN using a single-lead SpO2 signal with a dual-scale convolutional neural network. To solve the time-delayed problem of SpO2 changes, we enlarge the target SpO2 segment information by combining its subsequent segment information. To utilize neighbouring segments information and further facilitate the SA detection performance, a dual-scale neural network with the fusing information of the prolonged target segment and its two surrounding segments is proposed. Three datasets from multiple centres are employed to verify the generic performance of DSCNN. Here, we must point out that we use two datasets as external datasets, and one of them is collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University with a large sample size (450 subjects). Extensive experiment results show that DSCNN can achieve promising results which are superior to the existing state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract
The Pandemic COVID-19 situation, a pulse Oximetry is significant to detect a varying blood oxygen saturation of a patient who needed the device to operate with continuous, rapid, high accuracy, and immune of moving artifacts. In this article, three main schemes for low-complexity pulse oximetry detection are proposed. In the first scheme, the light absorbance ratio (R) is obtained by separating the red and infrared photoplethysmography (PPG) amplitude modulation (AM) signals from the frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) signal with two different bandpass filters (BPFs), determining the ratio of modulation index of red and infrared PPG AM signals. In the second scheme, the output PPG AM signals for the red and infrared light wavelengths from the BPFs are transformed into the frequency domain such that the AC components of both PPG AM signals are the magnitudes of the highest peaks in their respective sidebands, while the DC components are the magnitude of their carrier frequencies; then, the AC/DC ratio of the red PPG AM signal is divided by the AC/DC ratio of the infrared PPG AM signal is R. In the last scheme, the FDM signal is transformed into the frequency domain without being passed through any BPF, and R is obtained in the same way as in the same second scheme. Experimental results obtained by using the first scheme have an average error of about 0.7138%, for the second and the last scheme have an average error of about 1%, and all the methods agree with the corresponding mathematical model.

Abstract
The growth of health care spending on older adults with chronic diseases faces major concerns that require effective measures to be adopted worldwide. Among the main concerns is whether recent technological advances now offer the possibility of providing remote health care for the aging population. The benefits of suitable prevention and adequate monitoring of chronic diseases by using emerging technological paradigms such as wearable devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) can increase the detection rates of health risks to raise the quality of life for the elderly. Specifically, on the subject of remote health monitoring in older adults, a first approach is required to review devices, sensors, and wearables that serve as tools for obtaining and measuring physiological parameters in order to identify progress, limitations, and areas of opportunity in the development of health monitoring schemes. For these reasons, a review of articles on wearable devices was presented in the first instance to identify whether the selected articles addressed the needs of aged adults. Subsequently, the direct review of commercial and prototype wearable devices with the capability to read physiological parameters was presented to identify whether they are optimal or usable for health monitoring in older adults.

Abstract
With the rapidly increasing number of patients with chronic disease, numerous recent studies have put great efforts into achieving long-term health monitoring and patient management. Specifically, chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease and brain disease can threaten patients' health conditions over a long period of time, thus effecting their daily lives. Vital health parameters, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO2 and blood pressure, are closely associated with patients’ conditions. Wearable devices and unobtrusive sensing technologies can detect such parameters in a convenient way and provide timely predictions on health condition deterioration by tracking these biomedical signals and health parameters. In this paper, we review current advancements in wearable devices and unobtrusive sensing technologies that can provides possible tools and technological supports for chronic disease management. Current challenges and future directions of related techniques are addressed accordingly.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a pandemic with serious clinical manifestations including death. A pandemic at the large-scale like COVID-19 places extraordinary demands on the world's health systems, dramatically devastates vulnerable populations, and critically threatens the global communities in an unprecedented way. While tremendous efforts at the frontline are placed on detecting the virus, providing treatments and developing vaccines, it is also critically important to examine the technologies and systems for tackling disease emergence, arresting its spread and especially the strategy for diseases prevention. The objective of this article is to review enabling technologies and systems with various application scenarios for handling the COVID-19 crisis. The article will focus specifically on 1) wearable devices suitable for monitoring the populations at risk and those in quarantine, both for evaluating the health status of caregivers and management personnel, and for facilitating triage processes for admission to hospitals; 2) unobtrusive sensing systems for detecting the disease and for monitoring patients with relatively mild symptoms whose clinical situation could suddenly worsen in improvised hospitals; and 3) telehealth technologies for the remote monitoring and diagnosis of COVID-19 and related diseases. Finally, further challenges and opportunities for future directions of development are highlighted.
