Arterial blood pressure measurement. An intra-arterial catheter (aka. arterial line, or in short A-line) is inserted into the patient's radial artery and is connected to a pressure bag through a tube filled with a saline solution, which contains a pressure transducer that records the ABP.

Prediction studies on physiological signals are time-consuming: a typical study, even with a modest number of patients, usually takes from 6 to 12 months. In response we design a large-scale machine learning and analytics framework, BeatDB, to scale and speed up mining knowledge from waveforms. BeatDB radically shrinks the time an investigation tak...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder caused due to interruption
of breathing resulting in insufficient oxygen to the human body and brain. If
the OSA is detected and treated at an early stage the possibility of severe
health impairment can be mitigated. Therefore, an accurate automated OSA
detection system is indispensable. Generally,...
Bio-signal processing is a widely carried out by the researchers for better understating of complex biological processes. Instead of studying complete biosignal; a decomposed biosignals gives better and more accurate information about the various dynamics involved in the process. Wavelet is one of the powerful transform which is applicable to time...

Medical practice too often fails to incorporate recent medical advances. The two main reasons are that over 25 million scholarly medical articles have been published, and medical practitioners do not have the time to perform literature reviews. Systematic reviews aim at summarizing published medical evidence, but writing them requires tremendous human efforts. In this thesis, we propose several natural language processing methods based on artificial neural networks to facilitate the completion of systematic reviews. In particular, we focus on short-text classification, to help authors of systematic reviews locate the desired information. We introduce several algorithms to perform sequential short-text classification, which outperform state-of-the-art algorithms. To facilitate the choice of hyperparameters, we present a method based on Gaussian processes. Lastly, we release PubMed 20k RCT, a new dataset for sequential sentence classification in randomized control trial abstracts.
