Discovering Multidimensional Motifs in Physiological Signals for Personalized Healthcare
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):832 - 841
Cited by: Papers (7)Personalized diagnosis and therapy requires monitoring patient activity using various body sensors. Sensor data generated during personalized exercises or tasks may be too specific or inadequate to be evaluated using supervised methods such as classification. We propose multidimensional motif (MDM) discovery as a means for patient activity monitoring, since such motifs can capture repeating patter... View full abstract»

A Reliable and Reconfigurable Signal Processing Framework for Estimation of Metabolic Equivalent of Task in Wearable Sensors
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):842 - 853
Cited by: Papers (11)Wearable motion sensors are widely used to estimate metabolic equivalent of task (MET) values associated with physical activities. However, one major obstacle in widespread adoption of current wearables is that any changes in configuration of the network requires new data collection and re-training of the underlying signal processing algorithms. For any wearable-based MET estimation framework to b... View full abstract»

Methods for Person-Centered Continuous Pain Intensity Assessment From Bio-Physiological Channels
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):854 - 864
Cited by: Papers (7)In this work, we present methods for the personalization of a system for the continuous estimation of pain intensity from bio-physiological channels. We investigate various ways to estimate the similarity of persons and to retrieve the most informative ones using meta-information, personality traits, and machine learning techniques. Given this information, specialized classifiers can be created th... View full abstract»

A Depth Camera Motion Analysis Framework for Tele-rehabilitation: Motion Capture and Person-Centric Kinematics Analysis
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):877 - 887
Cited by: Papers (9)With increasing importance given to tele-rehabilitation, there is a growing need for accurate, low-cost, and portable motion capture systems that do not require specialist assessment venues. This paper proposes a novel framework for motion capture using only a single depth camera, which is portable and cost effective compared to most industry-standard optical systems, without compromising on accur...

Characterization of Upper-Limb Pathological Tremors: Application to Design of an Augmented Haptic Rehabilitation System
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):888 - 903
Cited by: Papers (7)In this paper, an adaptive filtering technique is proposed to estimate and characterize pathological tremors caused by Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Essential Tremor (ET). The technique is based on the formulation of band-limited multiple Fourier Linear Combiners (BMFLC) and is called Enhanced-BMFLC (E-BMFLC). The effectiveness of the designed filter is statistically evaluated through a clinical st... View full abstract»

One-Class Classification-Based Real-Time Activity Error Detection in Smart Homes
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):914 - 923
Cited by: Papers (14)Caring for individuals with dementia is frequently associated with extreme physical and emotional stress, which often leads to depression. Smart home technology and advances in machine learning techniques can provide innovative solutions to reduce caregiver burden. One key service that caregivers provide is prompting individuals with memory limitations to initiate and complete daily activities. We... View full abstract»

A Gaussian Mixture Framework for Co-Operative Rehabilitation Therapy in Assistive Impedance-Based Tasks
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):904 - 913
Cited by: Papers (7)Rehabilitation robots can aid patients to practice activities of daily living in order to enhance muscle strength and recover motor functions. In this paper, we focus on robot-assisted rehabilitation for co-operative therapy tasks that elicit impedance-based behaviors from the patient. For instance, if the rehabilitation robot is controlled to behave as a self-closing door and if pulling this simu... View full abstract»

Audio–Vision Substitution for Blind Individuals: Addressing Human Information Processing Capacity Limitations
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):924 - 931
Cited by: Papers (2)In this contribution, we consider the factors that influence the information processing capacity of the person using sensory substitution devices, and the influence of how the translated information, here in audio, impacts performance. First, we review aspects of vision substitution by tactile and audio devices, and then we review key theory in human information processing limitations to devise an... View full abstract»

Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):932 - 941 : A Context-Aware c-VEP-Based BCI Typing Interface Using EEG Signals$^{\text{TM}}$
Cited by: Papers (6)Brain computer interfaces (BCIs) offer individuals with disabilities an alternative channel of communication and control, hence they have been receiving increasing interest. BCIs can also be useful for healthy individuals in situations limiting their movement or where other computer interaction modalities need to be supplemented. Event-related and steady state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs) a... View full abstract»

Social Interaction Assistant: A Person-Centered Approach to Enrich Social Interactions for Individuals With Visual Impairments
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):942 - 951
Cited by: Papers (7)Social interaction is a central component of human experience. The ability to interact with others and communicate effectively within an interactive context is a fundamental necessity for professional success as well as personal fulfillment. Individuals with visual impairment face significant challenges in social communication, which if unmitigated, may lead to lifelong needs for extensive social ... View full abstract»

The New Bionic Electro-Larynx Speech System
Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):952 - 961
Cited by: Papers (1)Persons who have lost their larynx and thus speech functionality need to use a substitution voice to regain speech. The electro-larynx (EL) is a widely used device but is known for its unnatural and monotonic speech quality. Previous research has addressed these problems, but until now no significant improvements could be reported. Moreover, the importance of human-centered computing and co-adapta... View full abstract»
