Electronics and Communications in Japan, Wiley, 106, 4, 09 Oct. 2023, Abstract
Respiratory rate (RR) is known to be a more accurate predictor of clinical deterioration than other vital signs. However, there were few respiration measurement devices certified as medical devices that could be used in daily clinical settings. Therefore, using a bult‐in microcontroller (72×57×12 mm) instead of a personal computer, we developed a portable stand‐alone respiration measurement device with minimum workload in computing that can be used for non‐contact measurement in 30 s using a Doppler radar. In this study, the problems of respiration measurement using a Doppler radar, such as miscounting of respiratory peaks were clarified, and proposed device with respiratory peaks miscount prevention algorithm achieved high accuracy RR measurement. Clinical testing was conducted on pediatric outpatients of Children's Medical Center, Showa University Koto Toyosu Hospital. The measurement accuracy of the system was confirmed to be comparable to the respiration measurement accuracy of stationary certified medical devices used in hospital, such as capnometers and the chest wall impedance method used in bedside monitors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 23, 11, 04 Jun. 2023, True, Major depressive disorder (MDD) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have overlapping symptoms, and differentiation is important to administer the proper treatment. The present study aimed to assess the usefulness of heart rate variability (HRV) indices. Frequency-domain HRV indices, including high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) components, their sum (LF+HF), and their ratio (LF/HF), were measured in a three-behavioral-state paradigm composed of initial rest (Rest), task load (Task), and post-task rest (After) periods to examine autonomic regulation. It was found that HF was low at Rest in both disorders, but was lower in MDD than in CFS. LF and LF+HF at Rest were low only in MDD. Attenuated responses of LF, HF, LF+HF, and LF/HF to task load and an excessive increase in HF at After were found in both disorders. The results indicate that an overall HRV reduction at Rest may support a diagnosis of MDD. HF reduction was found in CFS, but with a lesser severity. Response disturbances of HRV to Task were observed in both disorders, and would suggest the presence of CFS when the baseline HRV has not been reduced. Linear discriminant analysis using HRV indices was able to differentiate MDD from CFS, with a sensitivity and specificity of 91.8% and 100%, respectively. HRV indices in MDD and CFS show both common and different profiles, and can be useful for the differential diagnosis.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine, 226, 107163-107163, 27 Sep. 2022, True, BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Continuous monitoring of vital signs plays a pivotal role in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). In this paper, we present a system for monitoring fully non-contact medical radar-based vital signs to measure the respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), I:E ratio, and heart rate variability (HRV). In addition, we evaluated its performance in a physiological laboratory and examined its adaptability in an NICU. METHODS: A non-contact medical radar-based vital sign monitoring system that includes 24 GHz radar installed in an incubator was developed. To enable reliable monitoring, an advanced signal processing algorithm (i.e., a nonlinear filter to separate respiration and heartbeat signals from the output of radar), template matching to extract cardiac peaks, and an adaptive peak detection algorithm to estimate cardiac peaks in time-series were proposed and implemented in the system. Nine healthy subjects comprising five males and four females (24 ± 5 years) participated in the laboratory test. To evaluate the adaptability of the system in an NICU setting, we tested it with three hospitalized infants, including two neonates. RESULTS: The results indicate strong agreement in healthy subjects between the non-contact system and reference contact devices for RR, HR, and inter-beat interval (IBI) measurement, with correlation coefficients of 0.83, 0.96, and 0.94, respectively. As anticipated, the template matching and adaptive peak detection algorithms outperformed the conventional approach. These showed a more accurate IBI close to the reference Bland-Altman analysis (proposed: bias of -3 ms, and 95% limits of agreement ranging from -73 to 67 ms; conventional: bias of -11 ms, and 95% limits of agreement ranging from -229 to 207 ms). Moreover, in the NICU clinical setting, the IBI correlation coefficient and 95% limit of agreement in the conventional method are 0.31 and 91 ms. The corresponding values obtained using the proposed method are 0.93 and 21 ms. CONCLUSION: The proposed system introduces a novel approach for NICU monitoring using a non-contact medical radar sensor. The signal processing method combining cardiac peak extraction algorithm with the adaptive peak detection algorithm shows high adaptability in detecting IBI the time series in various application settings.

Frontiers in Physiology, section Computational Physiology and Medicine, -, 905931--, Jun. 2022, Peer-reviwed, True, Background: To conduct a rapid preliminary COVID-19 screening prior to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test under clinical settings, including patient's body moving conditions in a non-contact manner, we developed a mobile and vital-signs-based infection screening composite-type camera (VISC-Camera) with truncus motion removal algorithm (TMRA) to screen for possibly infected patients. Methods: The VISC-Camera incorporates a stereo depth camera for respiratory rate (RR) determination, a red-green-blue (RGB) camera for heart rate (HR) estimation, and a thermal camera for body temperature (BT) measurement. In addition to the body motion removal algorithm based on the region of interest (ROI) tracking for RR, HR, and BT determination, we adopted TMRA for RR estimation. TMRA is a reduction algorithm of RR count error induced by truncus non-respiratory front-back motion measured using depth-camera-determined neck movement. The VISC-Camera is designed for mobile use and is compact (22 cm × 14 cm × 4 cm), light (800 g), and can be used in continuous operation for over 100 patients with a single battery charge. The VISC-Camera discriminates infected patients from healthy people using a logistic regression algorithm using RR, HR, and BT as explanatory variables. Results are available within 10 s, including imaging and processing time. Clinical testing was conducted on 154 PCR positive COVID-19 inpatients (aged 18-81 years; M/F = 87/67) within the initial 48 h of hospitalization at the First Central Hospital of Mongolia and 147 healthy volunteers (aged 18-85 years, M/F = 70/77). All patients were on treatment with antivirals and had body temperatures <37.5°C. RR measured by visual counting, pulsimeter-determined HR, and BT determined by thermometer were used for references. Result: 10-fold cross-validation revealed 91% sensitivity and 90% specificity with an area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.97. The VISC-Camera-determined HR, RR, and BT correlated significantly with those measured using references (RR: r = 0.93, p < 0.001; HR: r = 0.97, p < 0.001; BT: r = 0.72, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Under clinical settings with body motion, the VISC-Camera with TMRA appears promising for the preliminary screening of potential COVID-19 infection for afebrile patients with the possibility of misdiagnosis as asymptomatic.

Biomedical Signal Processing and Control, 75, May 2022, Peer-reviwed, Medical radar plays an important role in non-contact vital sign monitoring. However, radar is sensitive and susceptible to noise that deteriorates signal quality, making its application unstable in medical practice settings. Previous studies have focused on detecting vital signs from radar output, but mainly used high-quality signals in laboratory settings. Therefore, signal quality evaluation to maintain good-quality signals for processing is crucial for radar applications. This paper presents a vital sign monitoring system using medical radar that automatically evaluates signal quality to eliminate unsatisfactory signals using the support-vector machine and to extract heartbeat and respiration signals using the singular value decomposition method. To evaluate the system performance, we tested it on 10 healthy subjects and compared the obtained vital signs with those measured using a contact-type ECG device and a respiration belt. Two evaluation steps were conducted. First, we measured 10 subjects for evaluating the signal quality in a laboratory setting. The results showed that the accuracy for each subject archive was 93.2%–100%. Second, we extracted vital signs including respiration rate (RR) and the heart rate (HR) following signal quality classification. The results showed RR and HR deviation from 0 to 1 bpm, and 0 to 4 bpm, respectively. Moreover, the system was applied in a real medical practice setting for continuously monitoring the bedside of hospitalized older patients at a hospital.

Sensors, MDPI AG, 21, 24, 8357-8357, 14 Dec. 2021, Peer-reviwed, True, Camera-based remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a low-cost and casual non-contact heart rate measurement method suitable for telemedicine. Several factors affect the accuracy of measuring the heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) using rPPG despite HRV being an important indicator for healthcare monitoring. This study aimed to investigate the appropriate setup for precise HRV measurements using rPPG while considering the effects of possible factors including illumination, direction of the light, frame rate of the camera, and body motion. In the lighting conditions experiment, the smallest mean absolute R–R interval (RRI) error was obtained when light greater than 500 lux was cast from the front (among the following conditions—illuminance: 100, 300, 500, and 700 lux; directions: front, top, and front and top). In addition, the RRI and HRV were measured with sufficient accuracy at frame rates above 30 fps. The accuracy of the HRV measurement was greatly reduced when the body motion was not constrained; thus, it is necessary to limit the body motion, especially the head motion, in an actual telemedicine situation. The results of this study can act as guidelines for setting up the shooting environment and camera settings for rPPG use in telemedicine.

Frontiers in Physiology, section Computational Physiology and Medicine, 642986, 2021, Peer-reviwed, Background: To increase the consultation rate of potential major depressive disorder (MDD) patients, we developed a contact-type fingertip photoplethysmography-based MDD screening system. With the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, we developed an alternative to contact-type fingertip photoplethysmography: a novel web camera-based contact-free MDD screening system (WCF-MSS) for non-contact measurement of autonomic transient responses induced by a mental task. Methods: The WCF-MSS measures time-series interbeat intervals (IBI) by monitoring color tone changes in the facial region of interest induced by arterial pulsation using a web camera (1920 × 1080 pixels, 30 frames/s). Artifacts caused by body movements and head shakes are reduced. The WCF-MSS evaluates autonomic nervous activation from time-series IBI by calculating LF (0.04–0.15 Hz) components of heart rate variability (HRV) corresponding to sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous activity and HF (0.15–0.4 Hz) components equivalent to parasympathetic activities. The clinical test procedure comprises a pre-rest period (Pre-R; 140 s), mental task period (MT; 100 s), and post-rest period (Post-R; 120 s). The WCF-MSS uses logistic regression analysis to discriminate MDD patients from healthy volunteers via an optimal combination of four explanatory variables determined by a minimum redundancy maximum relevance algorithm: HF during MT (HFMT), the percentage change of LF from pre-rest to MT (%ΔLF(Pre–R⇒MT)), the percentage change of HF from pre-rest to MT (%ΔHF(Pre–R⇒MT)), and the percentage change of HF from MT to post-rest (%ΔHF(MT⇒Post–R)). To clinically test the WCF-MSS, 26 MDD patients (16 males and 10 females, 20–58 years) were recruited from BESLI Clinic in Tokyo, and 27 healthy volunteers (15 males and 12 females, 18–60 years) were recruited from Tokyo Metropolitan University and RICOH Company, Ltd. Electrocardiography was used to calculate HRV variables as references. Result: The WCF-MSS achieved 73% sensitivity and 85% specificity on 5-fold cross-validation. IBI correlated significantly with IBI from reference electrocardiography (r = 0.97, p < 0.0001). Logit scores and subjective self-rating depression scale scores correlated significantly (r = 0.43, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The WCF-MSS seems a promising contact-free MDD screening apparatus. This method enables web camera built-in smartphones to be used as MDD screening systems.

The 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), The 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), -, 6962-6965, 2021, Peer-reviwed, A non-contact bedside monitoring system using medical radar is expected to be applied to clinical fields. Our previous studies have developed a monitoring system based on medical radar for measuring respiratory rate (RR) and heart rate (HR). Heart rate variability (HRV), which is essentially implemented in advanced monitoring system, such as prognosis prediction, is a more challenging biological information than the RR and HR. In this study, we designed a HRV measurement filter and proposed a method to evaluate the optimal cardiac signal extraction filter for HRV measurement. Because the cardiac component in the radar signal is much smaller than the respiratory component, it is necessary to extract the cardiac element from the radar output signal using digital filters. It depends on the characteristics of the filter whether the HRV information is kept in the extracted cardiac signal or not. A cardiac signal extraction filter that is not distorted in the time domain and does not miss the cardiac component must be adopted. Therefore, we focused on evaluating the interval between the R-peak of the electrocardiogram (ECG) and the radar-cardio peak of the cardiac signal measured by radar (R-radar interval). This is based on the fact that the time between heart depolarization and ventricular contraction is measured as the R-radar interval. A band-pass filter (BPF) with several bandwidths and a nonlinear filter, locally projective adaptive signal separation (LoPASS), were analyzed and compared. The optimal filter was quantitatively evaluated by analyzing the distribution and standard deviation of the R-radar intervals. The performance of this monitoring system was evaluated in elderly patient at the Yokohama Hospital, Japan.

The 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), -, 7016-7019, 2021, Peer-reviwed, The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health crisis. Mental health is critical in such uncertain situations, particularly when people are required to significantly restrict their movements and change their lifestyles. Under these conditions, many countries have turned to telemedicine to strengthen and expand mental health services. Our research group previously developed a mental illness screening system based on heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, enabling an objective and easy mental health self-check. This screening system cannot be used for telemedicine because it uses electrocardiography (ECG) and contact photoplethysmography (PPG), that are not widely available outside of a clinical setting. The purpose of this study is to enable the extension of the aforementioned system to telemedicine by the application of non-contact PPG using an RGB webcam, also called imaging-photoplethysmography (iPPG). The iPPG measurement errors occur due to changes in the relative position between the camera and the target, and due to changes in light. Conventionally, in image processing, the pixel value of the entire face region is used. We propose skin pixel extraction to eliminate blinks, eye movements, and changes in light and shadow. In signal processing, the green channel signal is conventionally used as a pulse wave owing to the absorption characteristics of blood flow. Taking advantage of the fact that the red and blue channels contain noise, we propose a signal reconstruction method for removing noise and strengthening the signal in the pulse rate variability (PRV) frequency band by weighting the three signals of the RGB camera. We conducted an experiment with 13 healthy subjects, and showed that the PRV index and pulse rate (PR) errors estimated by the proposed method were smaller than those of the conventional method. The correlation coefficients between estimated values by the proposed method and reference values of LF, HF, and PR were 0.86, 0.69, and 0.96, respectively.

Sensors, -, 15, 2021, Peer-reviwed, True, Using a linear discriminant analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) indices, the present study sought to verify the usefulness of autonomic measurement in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients by assessing the feasibility of their return to work after sick leave. When reinstatement was scheduled, patients' HRV was measured using a wearable electrocardiogram device. The outcome of the reinstatement was evaluated at one month after returning to work. HRV indices including high- and low-frequency components were calculated in three conditions within a session: initial rest, mental task, and rest after task. A linear discriminant function was made using the HRV indices of 30 MDD patients from our previous study to effectively discriminate the successful reinstatement from the unsuccessful reinstatement; this was then tested on 52 patients who participated in the present study. The discriminant function showed that the sensitivity and specificity in discriminating successful from unsuccessful returns were 95.8% and 35.7%, respectively. Sensitivity is high, indicating that normal HRV is required for a successful return, and that the discriminant analysis of HRV indices is useful for return-to-work screening in MDD patients. On the other hand, specificity is low, suggesting that other factors may also affect the outcome of reinstatement.

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a mandatory standard for monitoring electrical activity of the heart in many clinical settings such as intensive care and emergency units. However, in situations wherein the skin is damaged, such as acute burn injuries, it is impossible to efficiently attach electrodes to the skin. In this study, we developed a non-contact cardiac monitoring system using a 24-GHz medical radar for directly measuring the beat-to-beat heart mechanical activity at a distance from a subject. The heart rate variability (HRV) was analysed using an autoregressive model (AR) from the measured beat-to-beat intervals during a head-up tilt test. To investigate the feasibility of the proposed system, we compared medical radar and ECG recording by using Lin’s correlation coefficient and Bland–Altman analysis, which showed a negligible mean difference from the substantial agreement of Lin’s correlation coefficient of 0.9 between the radar and ECG. The non-contact radar clearly monitored dynamic changes in HRV indices induced by the head-up tilt test. This type of non-contact HRV-sensing technique as an alternative approach has significant potential for advancing personal healthcare in both clinical and out-of-hospital settings.

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, Frontiers Media S.A., 6, MAY, 22 May 2018, Peer-reviwed, Over 350 million people across the world suffer from major depressive disorder (MDD). More than 10% of MDD patients have suicide intent, while it has been reported that more than 40% patients did not consult their doctors for MDD. In order to increase consultation rate of potential MDD patients, we developed a novel MDD screening system which can be used at home without help of health-care professionals. Using a fingertip photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor as a substitute of electrocardiograph (ECG), the system discriminates MDD patients from healthy subjects using autonomic nerve transient responses induced by a mental task (random number generation) via logistic regression analysis. The nine logistic regression variables are averages of heart rate (HR), high frequency (HF) component of heart rate variability (HRV), and the low frequency (LF)/HF ratio of HRV before, during, and after the mental task. We conducted a clinical test of the proposed system. Participants were 6 MDD patients (4 females and 2 males, aged 23-60 years) from Shizuoka Saiseikai General Hospital psychiatry outpatient unit and 14 healthy volunteers from University of Electro-Communications (6 females and 8 males, aged 21-63 years). The average PPG- and ECG (as a reference)-derived HR, HF and LF/HF were significantly correlated with each other (HR
r = 1.00, p <
0.0001, HF
r = 0.98, p <
0.0001, LF/HF
r = 0.98, p <
0.0001). Leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV) revealed 83% sensitivity and 93% specificity. The proposed system appears promising for future MDD self-screening at home and are expected to encourage psychiatric visits for potential MDD patients.

Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology, Taylor and Francis Ltd, 42, 2, 121-127, 17 Feb. 2018, Peer-reviwed, 12.6% of major depressive disorder (MDD) patients have suicide intent, while it has been reported that 43% of patients did not consult their doctors for MDD, automated MDD screening is eagerly anticipated. Recently, in order to achieve automated screening of MDD, biomarkers such as multiplex DNA methylation profiles or physiological method using near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) have been studied, however, they require inspection using 96-well DNA ELIZA kit after blood sampling or significant cost. Using a single-lead electrocardiography (ECG), we developed a high-precision MDD screening system using transient autonomic responses induced by dual mental tasks. We developed a novel high precision MDD screening system which is composed of a single-lead ECG monitor, analogue to digital (AD) converter and a personal computer with measurement and analysis program written by LabView programming language. The system discriminates MDD patients from normal subjects using heat rate variability (HRV)-derived transient autonomic responses induced by dual mental tasks, i.e. verbal fluency task and random number generation task, via linear discriminant analysis (LDA) adopting HRV-related predictor variables (hear rate (HR), high frequency (HF), low frequency (LF)/HF). The proposed system was tested for 12 MDD patients (32 ± 15 years) under antidepressant treatment from Shizuoka Saiseikai General Hospital outpatient unit and 30 normal volunteers (37 ± 17 years) from Tokyo Metropolitan University. The proposed system achieved 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity in classifying 42 examinees into 12 MDD patients and 30 normal subjects. The proposed system appears promising for future HRV-based high-precision and low-cost screening of MDDs using only single-lead ECG.

Journal of Sensors, Hindawi Limited, 2018, 2018, Peer-reviwed, Consistent vital sign monitoring is critically important for early detection of clinical deterioration of patients in hospital settings. Mostly, nurses routinely measure and document the primary vital signs of all patients 2-3 times daily to assess their condition. To reduce nurse workload and thereby improve quality of patient care, a smart vital sign monitor named "Vital-SCOPE" for simultaneous measurement of vital signs was developed. Vital-SCOPE consists of multiple sensors, including a reflective photo sensor, thermopile, and medical radar, to be used in simultaneous pulse rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature monitoring within 10 s. It was tested in laboratory and hospital settings. Bland-Altman and Pearson's correlation analyses were used to compare the Vital-SCOPE results to those of reference measurements. The mean difference of the respiratory rate between respiratory effort belt and Vital-SCOPE was 0.47 breaths per minute with the 95% limit of agreement ranging from -7.4 to 6.5 breaths per minute. The Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.63 (P<
0.05). Moreover, the mean difference of the pulse rate between electrocardiogram and Vital-SCOPE was 3.4 beats per minute with the 95% limit of agreement ranging from -13 to 5.8 beats per minute
the Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.91 (P<
0.01), indicating strong linear relationship.

We performed regression analysis considering relationship between time of one heartbeat cycle and systolic blood pressure. The time of one heartbeat cycle was acquired using PPG and Doppler radar. Since the obtained regression equation included individual differences, we obtained a regression equation that does not include individual differences by using the time of one heartbeat cycle and the systolic blood pressure at rest as individual parameters. Comparing the blood pressure estimated using this regression equation with the reference blood pressure, we obtained the correlation coefficient of 0.9, which was sufficiently high. The potential of non-contact blood pressure measurement using Doppler radar is also shown.

Xiaofeng Yang; Guanghao Sun; Koichiro Ishibashi
Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, EMBS, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., -, 2847-2850, 13 Sep. 2017, Peer-reviwed, The non-contact measurement of the respiration rate (RR) and heart rate (HR) using a Doppler radar has attracted more attention in the field of home healthcare monitoring, due to the extremely low burden on patients, unconsciousness and unconstraint. Most of the previous studies have performed the frequency-domain analysis of radar signals to detect the respiration and heartbeat frequency. However, these procedures required long period time (approximately 30 s) windows to obtain a high-resolution spectrum. In this study, we propose a time-domain peak detection algorithm for the fast acquisition of the RR and HR within a breathing cycle (approximately 5 s), including inhalation and exhalation. Signal pre-processing using an analog band-pass filter (BPF) that extracts respiration and heartbeat signals was performed. Thereafter, the HR and RR were calculated using a peak position detection method, which was carried out via LABVIEW. To evaluate the measurement accuracy, we measured the HR and RR of seven subjects in the laboratory. As a reference of HR and RR, the persons wore contact sensors i.e., an electrocardiograph (ECG) and a respiration band. The time domain peak-detection algorithm, based on the Doppler radar, exhibited a significant correlation coefficient of HR of 0.92 and a correlation coefficient of RR of 0.99, between the ECG and respiration band, respectively.

Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, EMBS, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., -, 1316-1319, 13 Sep. 2017, Peer-reviwed, Since objective biomarkers for major depressive disorder (MDD) are not readily available, clinical psychiatrists diagnose patients with MDD subjectively based on clinical interviews and diagnostic criteria. It often raises various concerns, including false responses by patients, subjective factors, and inexperience of the attendants leading to incorrect diagnosis. Here, we developed a self-monitoring system for simple and objective screening of MDD using a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor and a 24-GHz microwave radar, which was based on the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) during paced respiration and mental task conditions. In our previous study, we assessed the reactivity of HRV measurements during a mental task (random number generation) condition in patients with MDD and healthy control subjects. The HRV indices are less reactive in patients with MDD compared to healthy subjects during the mental task, which enabled us to identify the patients at risk for depression. In this study, the reactivity of HRV was measured not only in the mental task but also during paced respiration (i.e., 5-s inhalation and 5-s exhalation) conditions, thereby assessing more detailed autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity via HRV indices. To investigate the effect of paced respiration on MDD screening, we compared the ANS activity via HRV indices in with/without paced respiration conditions in 28 drug-naïve patients with MDD and 27 healthy control subjects. The result showed that ANS significantly activated during the paced respiration condition (p<
0.05). The sensitivity in detecting patients with MDD was 86% under paced respiration and mental task conditions, which was higher than the sensitivity (68%) under mental task condition alone.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES, ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 55, 113-117, Feb. 2017, Peer-reviwed, Background: Infrared thermography (IRT) is used to screen febrile passengers at international airports, but it suffers from low sensitivity. This study explored the application of a combined visible and thermal image processing approach that uses a CMOS camera equipped with IRT to remotely sense multiple vital signs and screen patients with suspected infectious diseases.
Methods: An IRT system that produced visible and thermal images was used for image acquisition. The subjects' respiration rates were measured by monitoring temperature changes around the nasal areas on thermal images; facial skin temperatures were measured simultaneously. Facial blood circulation causes tiny color changes in visible facial images that enable the determination of the heart rate. A logistic regression discriminant function predicted the likelihood of infection within 10 s, based on the measured vital signs. Sixteen patients with an influenza-like illness and 22 control subjects participated in a clinical test at a clinic in Fukushima, Japan.
Results: The vital-sign-based IRT screening system had a sensitivity of 87.5% and a negative predictive value of 91.7%; these values are higher than those of conventional fever-based screening approaches.
Conclusions: Multiple vital-sign-based screening efficiently detected patients with suspected infectious diseases. It offers a promising alternative to conventional fever-based screening. (C) 2017 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of International Society for Infectious Diseases.

Transactions of Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering, Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering, 55, 4, 354-354, 2017,In order to achieve an objective major depressive disorder (MDD) screening, we developed an MDD screening system via linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Using transient responses induced by multiple mental tasks that random number generation (RNG) task and verbal fluency (VF) task, the system discriminates MDD patients from normal subjects using heart rate variability (HRV) indices and cerebral blood flow determined by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The screening was conducted on twelve MDD patients (32±15 years) and 30 control subjects (37±17 years). The mental work load procedures are composed of "Pre-task rest", "Undergoing task", and "After-work rest" sections. When we adopted only RNG task, the system indicated 83.3% sensitivity and 93.8% specificity and with only VF task, the sensitivity and specificity were 75% and 90%, respectively. However using multiple tasks, we were able to obtain 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity with our proposed system.
Japanese - Remote sensing of multiple vital signs using a CMOS camera-equipped infrared thermography for rapid screening of patients with influenza
Dagdanpurev Sumiyakhand; Guanghao Sun; Shigeto Abe; Takemi Matsui
Transactions of Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering, Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering, 55, 3, 162-162, 2017,After an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, infrared thermography (IRT) systems were used as the border control strategies for fever screening of passengers at most major international airports. In this study, we proposed a visible/thermal image processing approach using only a CMOS camera-equipped IRT, thereby remote sensing of multiple vital signs for the rapid and accurate screening. Due to infection screening system expensive and required large-scale system structure, the system still has not reached yet the stage of widespread use. In this regard, we focused on minimum the hardware requirements to achieve a system that more suitable for real-world settings. The system displays the results via the logistic regression discriminant function derived from the heart and respiration rate, and body temperature within 10 seconds. The system achieved a sensitivity and specificity of 87.5% and 91.7%, which is notably higher compared to conventional fever based screening.

Journal of healthcare engineering, 2017, 6952695-6952695, 2017, Peer-reviwed, True, Mobile robotics is a potential solution to home behavior monitoring for the elderly. For a mobile robot in the real world, there are several types of uncertainties for its perceptions, such as the ambiguity between a target object and the surrounding objects and occlusions by furniture. The problem could be more serious for a home behavior-monitoring system, which aims to accurately recognize the activity of a target person, in spite of these uncertainties. It detects irregularities and categorizes situations requiring further explorations, which strategically maximize the information needed for activity recognition while minimizing the costs. Two schemes of active sensing, based on two irregularity detections, namely, heuristic-based and template-matching-based irregularity detections, were implemented and examined for body contour-based activity recognition. Their time cost and accuracy in activity recognition were evaluated through experiments in both a controlled scenario and a home living scenario. Experiment results showed that the categorized further explorations guided the robot system to sense the target person actively. As a result, with the proposed approach, the robot system has achieved higher accuracy of activity recognition.

Communications in Computer and Information Science, Springer Verlag, 791, 263-273, 2017, Peer-reviwed, Recently, infectious diseases, such as Ebola fever and Middle East respiratory syndrome, have spread worldwide. To conduct a highly accurate infection screening, our group is working on the development of a non-contact and hand-held infection screening system that can detect infected individuals within 5s. In this study, we propose a signal processing method to improve the measurement accuracy of the infection screening system. Body surface temperature, heartbeat, and respiration rates are detected by thermography and microwave radars. To evaluate the measurement accuracy, nine subjects (normal and pseudo-infection conditions) were tested with the proposed system in a laboratory. In this study, a linear discriminate function was used to detect pseudo-infection conditions. The detection accuracy was improved to 88.9%.

IFMBE Proceedings, Springer Verlag, 61, -, 38-42, 2017, Peer-reviwed, Human-machine interface (HMI) not only assists disabled people to perform tasks and activities, but also helps in acquisition of motor skills for rehabilitation. Therefore, it is critically important to qualitatively assess the motor skill acquisition process during the operation of HMI. Some of the recent studies observed and analyzed that changes in bio-signals were closely related to the improvement of motor skill. This paper presents a HMI for balancing the control of virtual inverted pendulum using electromyography (EMG) signals. The proposed HMI was developed using an open-source control software RTAI (Real Time Application Interface) on Linux platform. EMG signals from the forearm were recorded using two EMG electrodes placed around the extensor carpi radialis longus and flexor carpi ulnaris muscles. Moreover, the motor skills were evaluated by classifying the EMG signal patterns (i.e., muscle activation patterns), and measuring the motion of inverted pendulum including angular position, speed, and acceleration. An experiment was conducted using the proposed HMI with 8 subjects in laboratory. The results showed that the proposed HMI is useful to examine the motor skill acquisition process, as the EMG signal patterns closely resembled to that of human motor process.

FRONTIERS IN PSYCHIATRY, FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 7, Nov. 2016, Peer-reviwed, Background and objectives: Heart rate variability (HRV) has been intensively studied as a promising biological marker of major depressive disorder (MDD). Our previous study confirmed that autonomic activity and reactivity in depression revealed by HRV during rest and mental task (MT) conditions can be used as diagnostic measures and in clinical evaluation. In this study, logistic regression analysis (LRA) was utilized for the classification and prediction of MDD based on HRV data obtained in an MT paradigm.
Methods: Power spectral analysis of HRV on R-R intervals before, during, and after an MT (random number generation) was performed in 44 drug-naive patients with MDD and 47 healthy control subjects at Department of Psychiatry in Shizuoka Saiseikai General Hospital. Logit scores of LRA determined by HRV indices and heart rates discriminated patients with MDD from healthy subjects. The high frequency (HF) component of HRV and the ratio of the low frequency (LF) component to the HF component (LF/HF) correspond to parasympathetic and sympathovagal balance, respectively.
Results: The LRA achieved a sensitivity and specificity of 80.0 and 79.0%, respectively, at an optimum cutoff logit score (0.28). Misclassifications occurred only when the logit score was close to the cutoff score. Logit scores also correlated significantly with subjective self-rating depression scale scores (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: HRV indices recorded during a MT may be an objective tool for screening patients with MDD in psychiatric practice. The proposed method appears promising for not only objective and rapid MDD screening but also evaluation of its severity.

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 63, 5, 1025-1033, May 2016, Peer-reviwed, Goal: Thermography-based infection screening at international airports plays an important role in the prevention of pandemics. However, studies show that thermography suffers from low sensitivity and specificity. To achieve higher screening accuracy, we developed a screening system based on the acquisition of multiple vital-signs. This multimodal approach increases accuracy, but introduces the need for sophisticated classification methods. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the multimodal approach to infection screening from a machine learning perspective. Methods: We conduct an empirical study applying six classification algorithms to measurements from the multimodal screening system and comparing their performance among each other, as well as to the performance of thermography. In addition, we provide an information theoretic view on the use of multiple vital-signs for infection screening. The classification methods are tested using the same clinical data, which has been analyzed in our previous study using linear discriminant analysis. A total of 92 subjects were recruited for influenza screening using the system, consisting of 57 inpatients diagnosed to have seasonal influenza and 35 healthy controls. Results: Our study revealed that the multimodal screening system reduces the misclassification rate by more than 50% compared to thermography. At the same time, none of the multimodal classifiers needed more than 6 ms for classification, which is negligible for practical purposes. Conclusion: Among the tested classifiers k-nearest neighbors, support vector machine and quadratic discriminant analysis achieved the highest cross-validated sensitivity score of 93%. Significance: Multimodal infection screening might be able to address the shortcomings of thermography.

2016 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION (ISAP), IEEE, -, 444-445, 2016, Peer-reviwed, Doppler Light-Detection-And-Ranging (LIDAR) system is an essential tool for real-time wind monitoring for aircraft taking off and landing. Single LIDAR model is preferable in terms of cost and being free from synchronization problem of multiple LIDARs. There are many studies for single LIDAR based velocity estimation. In specifying the recognition for typical air turbulences, such as tornado, microburst or gust front, the parametric approach has been introduced in our previous research. However, this method suffers from a large computational time due to solving multiple dimensional and non-linear optimization problem by particle swarm optimization (PSO). Aiming at real-time monitoring, this paper introduces neural network based optimization approach to determine the turbulence model. The results from numerical simulation demonstrate that the proposed method considerably reduces the calculation cost without sacrificing an estimation accuracy, compared with that obtained by the former PSO based method.

COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEUROSCIENCE, HINDAWI PUBLISHING CORP, Article ID 9845816, 2016, Peer-reviwed, Increasing population age demands more services in healthcare domain. It has been shown that mobile robots could be a potential solution to home biomonitoring for the elderly. Through our previous studies, a mobile robot system that is able to track a subject and identify his daily living activities has been developed. However, the system has not been tested in any home living scenarios. In this study we did a series of experiments to investigate the accuracy of activity recognition of the mobile robot in a home living scenario. The daily activities tested in the evaluation experiment include watching TV and sleeping. A dataset recorded by a distributed distance-measuring sensor network was used as a reference to the activity recognition results. It was shown that the accuracy is not consistent for all the activities; that is, mobile robot could achieve a high success rate in some activities but a poor success rate in others. It was found that the observation position of the mobile robot and subject surroundings have high impact on the accuracy of the activity recognition, due to the variability of the home living daily activities and their transitional process. The possibility of improvement of recognition accuracy has been shown too.

Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology, Informa Healthcare, 39, 3, 185-190, 01 Apr. 2015, Peer-reviwed, To conduct mass screening and thereby reduce the spread of infection, a compact (13.5 cm x 8.5 cm x 2.5 cm), highly-mobile and hand-held infection-screening system was developed for rapid medical inspection in mass gathering places such as airports. The system is capable of non-contact vital-sign monitoring using two integrated sensors: a 24-GHz microwave radar for measuring heart and respiration rates and a thermopile array for capturing facial temperature. Subsequently, the system detects infected individuals using a linear discriminant function (LDA) from the derived vital-signs data. The system was tested on 10 subjects under two conditions (resting as normal and exercising as pseudo-infected, i.e. a 10-min bicycle ergometer at 100 W exercise)
the normal and pseudo-infected conditions were classified successfully via LDA for all subjects (p<
0.01
classification error rate <
5%). The proposed non-contact system can be applied for preventing secondary exposure of medical doctors at the outbreak of highly pathogenic infectious diseases such as the Ebola virus.

JOURNAL OF INFECTION, W B SAUNDERS CO LTD, 70, 3, 230-236, Mar. 2015, Peer-reviwed, Objectives: To classify higher-risk influenza patients within 10 s, we developed an infectious disease and fever screening radar system.
Methods: The system screens infected patients based on vital signs, i.e., respiration rate measured by a radar, heart rate by a finger-tip photo-reflector, and facial temperature by a thermography. The system segregates subjects into higher-risk influenza (HR-I) group, lower-risk influenza (LR-I) group, and non-influenza (Non-I) group using a neural network and fuzzy clustering method (FCM). We conducted influenza screening for 35 seasonal influenza patients and 48 normal control subjects at the Japan Self-Defense Force Central Hospital. Pulse oximetry oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) was measured as a reference.
Results: The system classified 17 subjects into HR-I group, 26 into LR-I group, and 40 into Non-I group. Ten out of the 17 HR-I subjects indicated SpO(2) < 96%, whereas only two out of the 26 LR-I subjects showed SpO(2) < 96%. The chi-squared test revealed a significant difference in the ratio of subjects showed SpO(2) < 96% between HR-I and LR-I group (p < 0.001). There were zero and nine normal control subjects in HR-I and LR-I groups, respectively, and there was one influenza patient in Non-I group.
Conclusions: The combination of neural network and FCM achieved efficient detection of higher-risk influenza patients who indicated SpO(2) 96% within 10 s. (C) 2014 The British Infection Association. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Transactions of Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering, Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering, 53, Supplement, S174_01-S174_01, 2015, The outbreak of emerging infectious diseases frequently becomes severe are threatening people on global basis. To classify people into severe-influenza patients, mildly-influenza patients and healthy people at places of mass gathering, we developed an influenza screening system. The system conducts screening within 10 s from vital-signs, i.e., respiration rate, heart rate, and facial temperature. A neural network based discriminant function was implemented into the system to predict the infected individuals. We conducted influenza screening for 35 seasonal influenza patients at the Japan Self-defense Central Hospital. To assess the clustering performance of this system, SpO2 was measured as a reference. The system classified 34/35 influenza patients to be mildly or severe influenza. The 10/17 severe-influenza group indicated SpO2 less than 96%, while, only 2/17 mildly-influenza group showed SpO2 less than 96%. This result indicates that the system has the potential to serve as a helpful tool for rapid screening of influenza in clinical settings at places of mass gathering.
Japanese - Non-contact Measurement of Respiratory and Heart Rates Using a CMOS Camera-equipped Infrared Camera for Prompt Infection Screening at Airport Quarantine Stations
Yosuke Nakayama; Guanghao Sun; Shigeto Abe; Takemi Matsui
2015 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS FOR MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS (CIVEMSA), IEEE, -, 27-30, 2015, Peer-reviwed, Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was first reported in 2003 and quickly spread around the world. Therefore, many international airport quarantine stations launched fever-based screening to detect infected passengers using infrared (IR) cameras for preventing global pandemics. However, a screening method based on fever alone can be insufficient for detecting infected individuals because many factors, such as antipyretics uptake, can affect it. Our previous studies using compact radar revealed that simultaneous measurement of facial skin temperature and respiratory and heart rates drastically improved the sensitivity of infection screening compared to that achieved by facial skin temperature measurement alone. Using a CMOS camera-equipped IR camera (CMOS-IR camera), which most Japanese International Airports have adopted, we developed an enhanced thermal/RGB image processing method for non-contact measurement of facial skin temperature, and respiratory and heart rates. We conducted the image processing on the thermal/RGB image-fusion mode in real time; we determined the respiratory rate by thermal images of the IR camera and the heart rate by the RGB images of the CMOS camera. Using a CMOS-IR camera, we measured respiratory and heart rates of ten healthy subjects (23 +/- 1 years), and compared them with those determined by a contact-type respiratory effort belt and electrocardiograms (ECGs) as references. The respiratory and heart rates obtained from the CMOS-IR camera exhibited strong positive correlations with those derived from the references, a respiratory effort belt: r = 0.99, p < 0.01; ECG: r = 0.96, p < 0.01, whereas the axillary temperature indicated a moderate degree of correlation to facial skin temperature (r = 0.6). Adopting this method into conventional CMOS-IR camera image processing at international airport quarantines will achieve higher infection screening sensitivity.

Guanghao Sun; Yasuyuki Watai; Takemi Matsui
2015 IEEE 4TH GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON CONSUMER ELECTRONICS (GCCE), IEEE, in press, 127-128, 2015, Peer-reviwed, We designed a physiological computing platform, which is easy to configure and setup using National Instruments' myRIO embedded device. Physiological signal acquisition, processing, and visualization are required for the most basic sort of physiological computing platform. Therefore, the proposed platform consisted of these three basic modules. (1) Signal acquisition module: the physiological signals captured via the biosensors were sent wirelessly using the myRIO's analog input channels to a PC or mobile handheld devices such as, tablet or smartphone. (2) Signal processing module: the signal processing procedures were conducted using a graphical design software i.e., LabVIEW. (3) Visualization module: the signals and computing results were on the screen for the user. In this paper, we demonstrated the effectiveness of proposed platform on non-contact measurement of the heart and respiration rates using microwave radar.

Guanghao Sun; Takemi Matsui
2015 37TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE IEEE ENGINEERING IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY SOCIETY (EMBC), IEEE, in press, 5985-5988, 2015, Peer-reviwed, Noncontact measurement of respiratory rate using Doppler radar will play a vital role in future clinical practice. Doppler radar remotely monitors the tiny chest wall movements induced by respiration activity. The most competitive advantage of this technique is to allow users fully unconstrained with no biological electrode attachments. However, the Doppler radar, unlike other contact- type sensors, is easily affected by the random body movements. In this paper, we proposed a time domain autocorrelation model to process the radar signals for rapid and stable estimation of the respiratory rate. We tested the autocorrelation model on 8 subjects in laboratory, and compared the respiratory rates detected by noncontact radar with reference contact- type respiratory effort belt. Autocorrelation model showed the effects of reducing the random body movement noise added to Doppler radar's respiration signals. Moreover, the respiratory rate can be rapidly calculated from the first main peak in the autocorrelation waveform within 10 s.

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL IMAGING AND HEALTH INFORMATICS, AMER SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHERS, 4, 6, 863-867, Dec. 2014, Peer-reviwed, The aging population and the escalation of healthcare costs are leading concerns for many developed countries, such as Japan. The government has attempted to reduce hospital costs, which can easily be done by using home healthcare. In this study, we developed a non-contact vital sign monitoring system (Vital-CUBE) that uses microwave radar for ubiquitous home healthcare. Microwave radar can contactless monitor tiny movements on the surface of a human body induced by heartbeat and respiration. With the intent to design a system for home healthcare, we developed this system on an embedded Linux platform to create an inexpensive, self-contained, and modular design. Moreover, we connected the system to a smart phone using virtual network computing (VNC) technology, allowing users to immediately and conveniently access the results of measurements. To assess the performance of Vital-CUBE, we tested the system on 16 subjects (22 +/- 3 years old). We compared the heart and respiration rates determined by Vital-CUBE with those measured using contact-type electrocardiograms (ECG) and respiratory effort belts. The Vital-CUBE measurements exhibited a strong positive correlation with those of the reference contact-type sensors (ECG: r = 0.87, p < 0.01; respiratory effort belt: r = 0.91, p < 0.01). The system can be used without attaching biological electrodes to the users and allows fully unconstrained vital sign measurements for home healthcare.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES, ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 25, 56-58, Aug. 2014, Peer-reviwed, Objective: Infrared thermography systems have been used for fever screening at many airports since the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003. However, many of these systems are expensive and non-portable. Therefore, we developed a cost-effective and compact (2.9 x 5.8 x 2.0 cm) thermopile array for fever screening of patients with infectious diseases in the clinical setting.
Methods: The array was created with small pixels (48 x 47 = 2256 pixels) fabricated on a silicon wafer using microelectromechanical systems technology. We tested this array on 155 febrile and afebrile patients (35.4 degrees C <= axillary temperature <= 39.3 degrees C) with seasonal influenza at the Japan Self-Defense Forces Central Hospital.
Results: The maximum facial temperature, measured by the array at 0.3 m from the subject, exhibited a positive correlation with axillary temperature measured using a contact-type thermometer (r = 0.71, p < 0.01). The sensitivity and specificity of the thermopile array in identifying the febrile subjects were 80.5% and 93.3%, respectively, setting the threshold cut-off of maximum facial temperature at an appropriate value.
Conclusions: Our cost-effective thermopile array appears promising for future close-range fever screening of patients with infectious diseases at primary care doctor clinics, health care centers, and quarantine stations in developing and developed countries.

International Journal of E-Health and Medical Communications, 4, 3, 20-35, Jul. 2013, Peer-reviwed, After outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, many international airport quarantines adopted fever-based screening to identify infected individuals using infrared thermography to control global pandemic. Unfortunately, the sensitivity of fever-based screening system did not exceed 70.4% at Narita International Airport. In order to achieve accurate onboard entry screening for highly contagious infectious diseases, the authors developed a portable system designed for onboard entry screening with linear discriminant analysis. Within several tens of seconds, the system automatically discriminates infected individuals from normal subjects using measured heart rate, respiratory rate, as well as facial surface temperature determined by thermography. The size of system is small enough to be placed on airplane tray tables. The authors tested on 68 subjects including 12 influenza patients to evaluate the system. The result showed sensitivity of 91.7% and specificity of 92.9%. The system seems to be promising for onboard infection screening to safeguard public health. Copyright © 2013, IGI Global.

Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, EMBS, 6716-6719, 2013, Peer-reviwed, After the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, many international airport quarantine stations conducted fever-based screening to identify infected passengers using infrared thermography for preventing global pandemics. Due to environmental factors affecting measurement of facial skin temperature with thermography, some previous studies revealed the limits of authenticity in detecting infectious symptoms. In order to implement more strict entry screening in the epidemic seasons of emerging infectious diseases, we developed an infection screening system for airport quarantines using multi-parameter vital signs. This system can automatically detect infected individuals within several tens of seconds by a neural-network-based discriminant function using measured vital signs, i.e., heart rate obtained by a reflective photo sensor, respiration rate determined by a 10-GHz non-contact respiration radar, and the ear temperature monitored by a thermography. In this paper, to reduce the environmental effects on thermography measurement, we adopted the ear temperature as a new screening indicator instead of facial skin. We tested the system on 13 influenza patients and 33 normal subjects. The sensitivity of the infection screening system in detecting influenza were 92.3%, which was higher than the sensitivity reported in our previous paper (88.0%) with average facial skin temperature. © 2013 IEEE.

We conducted non-contact respiration monitoring of elderly subjects in bed using dual 24-GHz microwave radars attached beneath mattress of a bed. The respiration amplitudes of SAHS patients fluctuate while asleep. AP means a probability of respiration amplitudes falling below a threshold level (%RMS of radar output amplitude). In order to assess the efficacy of this screening method, we tested on 14 elderly non-SAHS subjects and four elderly SAHS subjects (88.0 +/- 9.9 years) at a nursing home. The proposed method achieved 100% sensitivity when we set AP and %RMS, 0.3 and 50, respectively.

The measurable distance of the system is 50cm, which is 10 times longer than our previously developed stress monitoring system which measures heart rate variability using a 24-GHz microwave-radar. The study was conducted with eight subjects (23±1years old) to evaluate the efficacy of the system. An audio stimulus at 95 dB sound pressure level was presented to the subjects following a silent period of 120 seconds. During the silent period, V(T)/T(I) averaged 826±384ml s-1, while it increased significantly (p <
0.05) with an average of 1227±704ml s-1 during audio stimulus low frequency component (LF)/high frequency component (HF), which reflects sympatho-vagal valance, showed a peak during audio stimuli. This paper aims to study the efficacy of the non-contact stress monitoring system for its future applications in many fields including health and safety. © 2011 Informa UK, Ltd.

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SYSTEMS, SPRINGER, 35, 5, 855-861, Oct. 2011, Peer-reviwed, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a technology to generate neural activity in an artificial way to activate muscles. However, as reported by some researchers, the human responses to FES are likely to be affected by several factors, such as spasticity, muscle fatigue, nerve habituation and so forth. Consequently, the function restoration by FES is neither durable, nor stable. In order to realize long-term and stable FES assistance, this study investigated whether and why an Auxiliary Stimulation (AS) to the Gastrocnemius, with current frequency ranged from 2000 to 6000 Hz, could alleviate the symptom of spasticity and muscle fatigue caused by the stimulation to the Tibialis Anterior. We have developed a portable auxiliary stimulator, and performed experiments to verify its effectiveness. The results showed that our approach enabled comparatively stable and durable function restoration assistance. Moreover, for understanding underlying neuromuscular processes elicited by the AS and its qualitative nature, this study also measured the Hoffmann-reflex (H-reflex) in soleus muscle before and after the AS, to interpret the effect of the Auxiliary Stimulation.

DATABASE THEORY AND APPLICATION, BIO-SCIENCE AND BIO-TECHNOLOGY, SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN, 258, 125-+, 2011, Peer-reviwed, This paper aims to evaluate the efficacy of our non-contact infection screening system which uses Kohonen's self-organizing map (SOM) with K-means clustering algorithm. In this study, the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) used in our previous system was replaced by SOM with K-means clustering algorithm to increase accuracy. The system simultaneously measures heart rate, respiratory rate, and facial skin temperature. The evaluation was done using the same data which we used in our previous study. The data was based on the test on 57 influenza patients and 35 normal control subjects at Japan Self-defense Forces Central Hospital. The system showed higher sensitivity of 98% and negative predictive value (NPV) of 96% compared to our previous system (sensitivity of 89%. NPV of 83%). The system can be used as a public health measure at points of entry where high sensitivity is most required in order to prevent the spread of the pandemic.

Proceedings - International Conference on Instrumentation, Communication, Information Technology and Biomedical Engineering 2011, ICICI-BME 2011, 107-110, 2011, Peer-reviwed, We developed a portable screening system designed for onboard entry screening at international airports. The system can identify passengers who are potentially infected with epidemic diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or pandemic influenza. With its size being small enough to be placed on airplane tray tables, the system enables entry screening while passengers are onboard. In addition, this automatic system may greatly reduce time and effort required for screening. © 2011 IEEE.

肺機能計測において，個人レベルでの即時・常時計測を可能にするためには，場所と時間を問わず簡単に利用できるシステムが必要であると同時に，臨床診断にも十分に利用できる必要がある．この要求を担うプラットフォームとしてモバイルヘルスが注目されている．呼吸器疾患では特定の領域に発症するものがあり，左右・上下の呼吸運動に非同期性が現れる．よって左肺と右肺の呼吸信号は呼吸器疾患の兆候・進行・改善を診断する上で重要なインジケータとなる．本研究では肺機能計測システムをスマートフォンとその内蔵深度センサを用いたアプリとして実装する中で，生理学に基づく胸部ROI分割手法を2つ提案し，信頼性の高い左右の呼吸信号推定を行う．本分割方法はセンサで計測された2次元深度マップにおいて，吸気による胸腹部前方の変位量に各領域で差が表れることを仮定する．実装したシステムの評価結果において，ROI分割は被験者3名全てで成功し，ROIを分割できた場合の各領域の変位量には分割できなかった場合と比較して有意な差（p＜0.05）が確認された．同時計測した左右胸郭の生体インピーダンスに対して，分割ROIから計測した左右胸部の推定呼吸波形それぞれが高い相関を持つことが確認された（r=0.94）．本システムによって，スマートフォンのみを用いた左右呼吸信号の即時・常時計測が可能になる．, 公益社団法人 日本生体医工学会, 2022, 生体医工学, Annual60, Abstract, 136_1-136_1, Japanese, 1347-443X, 1881-4379, 202202219108059286 - RGBカメラを用いた非接触酸素飽和度計測の基礎的検討

動脈血酸素飽和度（SpO2）は，身体の異常を検知する重要な指標である．SpO2計測には，生体を透過した光を利用した接触式のパルスオキシメータが実用化されている．接触式の問題点として，長時間計測による患者への不快感を起こす可能性がある．本研究では，非接触式RGBカメラからの容積脈波(imaging-Photoplethysmography，iPPG) 信号を抽出し，非接触でSpO2計測の可能性を検討する．抽出されたRGB３チャンネル信号の異なる光の波長における酸化ヘモグロビンと還元ヘモグロビンの吸光スペクトルの違いを利用して，SpO2を推定する．容積脈波信号は，動脈血の脈動成分（AC成分）と非脈動成分（DC 成分）で構成されており，これらの比より算出されるRを用いた回帰式よりSpO2推定を行う．AC成分の算出において，信号包絡線による脈動振幅を用いた方法と標準偏差による信号のばらつきを用いた方法の2つの手法を比較し，非接触式計測において，SpO2の低下によるRの増加を定性的に確認でき，非接触でのSpO2計測の可能性を示した．, 公益社団法人 日本生体医工学会, 2022, 生体医工学, Annual60, Abstract, 239_2-239_2, Japanese, 1347-443X, 1881-4379, 202202252279426289 - ドップラーレーダによる呼吸・心拍信号計測のためのニューラルネットワークを利用した体動検出

With the COVID-19 pandemic, body temperature estimation based on surface temperature have been conducted in various locations. In order to conduct accurate deep body temperature estimation, we estimated prefrontal cortex temperature from surface temperature near the inner corner of an eye using temperature compensation-type deep body temperature probe attached to forehead to obtain prefrontal cortex temperatures as training data.The temperatures of facial surface near the eye and prefrontal cortex were measured in 6 healthy subjects (4 males and 2 females, mean age 21.7 years).Below is the equation for estimating prefrontal cortex temperature using 40 training data sets of 4 subjects.Y=0.27*X+26.9 (Y: prefrontal cortex temperature, X: surface temperature near the inner corner of an eye)We verified the accuracy with 20 test data sets of 2 subjects and the estimation equation showed high accuracy with an estimation error of 0.03 degrees Celsius and a correlation coefficient of 0.88., Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering, 2021, Transactions of Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering, Annual59, Abstract, 367-367, Japanese, 1347-443X, 1881-4379, 130008105287 - 生体信号を用いた快-不快状態の分類

我々は精神負荷課題を課した際の自律神経活性を反映する心拍数変動指標や心拍数の変化が健常者とうつ病患者で異なることを利用して,うつ傾向の有無を客観的に判定するための研究を行い80％のスクリーニング感度(Sun,Shinba,Matsui, Front Psychiatry 2016)を得た.更なる感度向上を目指し,加齢による自律神経機能の変化に着目して,精神負荷に対する自律神経応答を用いた年代別うつ病スクリーニング法を開発した.精神科を受診した抗うつ薬未服用のうつ病患者50名(43±13歳),および健常な男女47名(41±12歳)を対象に,それぞれ100秒間の課題前安静,乱数生成課題,課題後安静の心電図から,毎秒,過去40秒間のR-R間隔の時系列に周波数解析を施し,HF,LF/HFを算出した。スクリーニングにはロジスティック回帰分析(LRA)から得た判別式を用い,説明変数には乱数生成課題,およびその前後のHFとLF/HF,心拍数を用いた.うつ病患者と健常者を,20歳代以下,30歳代,40歳代,50歳代以上の年代ごとにLRAを行い,各年代のスクリーニング結果を統合した結果,感度94％,特異度93％,陽性的中率92％,陰性的中率93％の結果が得られた.提案手法は初診時の診療補助,プライマリ・ケアの一環として有望である., 公益社団法人 日本生体医工学会, 2019, 生体医工学, Annual57, Abstract, S52_2-S52_2, Japanese, 1347-443X, 1881-4379, 201902238507806421 - ToFカメラを用いた肺機能検査測定システムによる呼吸機能の非接触モニタリング
坂本 寛和; 孫 光鎬; 松井 岳巳; 桐本 哲郎
肺機能検査は換気能力や肺病の有無を調べる呼吸器検査の1つであり、スパイロメーターを用いて計測する。同装置は、高価であり、取り扱いが簡便でないため、臨床外来ではこれを用いる機会は少ない。また、スパイロメーターは接触測定であること、測定に手間がかかることが課題として挙がる。本研究では、ToF(Time of Flight)カメラを用いた呼吸機能の非接触計測を提案する。ToFカメラは撮像対象までの距離を算出でき、胸郭変動と呼吸変動に相関関係があるため、ToFカメラで時間変動に応じた胸部の変位を測定して呼吸をモニタリングする。非接触でToFカメラによる呼吸機能の計測性能を評価するため、安静時の呼吸数と肺機能検査の肺活量測定の指標である1秒率（Tiffenaeu,Gaensler）を算出した。リファレンスとして呼吸バンド・スパイロメーターと同時計測を行い、記述統計・Bland-Altman解析により結果を評価した。呼吸数算出は計測誤差1.66%、Bland-Altman解析の95%信頼区間は-4.31~3.92bpmの範囲となった。肺機能検査は計測誤差がTiffenaeuの1秒率が15.1%、Gaenslerの1秒率が7.82%となった。計測結果から、ToFカメラを用いて高精度な呼吸計測が可能であることを示した。, 公益社団法人 日本生体医工学会, 2019, 生体医工学, Annual57, Abstract, S239_2-S239_2, Japanese, 1347-443X, 1881-4379, 201902282393831876, 130007776727 - ドップラーレーダを用いた連続非接触血圧測定

近年、世界的に高血圧が問題であり、連続血圧測定の重要性が高まっている。先行研究ではカフレス連続血圧測定の方法として脈波伝搬時間(PTT)を用いた方法が多く研究されている。しかし、PTTを取得するために体の多箇所にPPG（photoplethysmography）やECG（electrocardiogram）を設置する必要があるため、行動の制限や不快感を覚えるなどの欠点が存在する。これより、本研究ではドップラーレーダを用いた非接触による連続血圧測定方法の研究を行った。我々は、心拍1回分の周期と心臓が収縮している時間を用いて、血圧を推定する方法の研究を行った。拡張期血圧(DBP)は、心臓が収縮している時間を用いて推定し、脈圧(PP)は、心拍1回分の周期および心臓が収縮している時間を使用して推定した。収縮期血圧(SBP)は、推定したDBPとPPの和によって推定した。推定した血圧値と血圧計で取得した血圧値を用いて相関係数を算出した。相関係数はそれぞれSBPが0.79、DBPが0.88、PPが0.81と共に十分高い値が得られた。ドップラーレーダを用いた非接触方式による血圧測定の可能性を得られた。, 公益社団法人 日本生体医工学会, 2019, 生体医工学, Annual57, Abstract, S258_2-S258_2, Japanese, 1347-443X, 1881-4379, 201902249005605005, 130007776774 - マイクロ波ドップラーレーダを用いた非接触バイタルサイン計測のための不規則な体動除去法

The technology for non-contact measurement of vital signs (i.e. heart rate, respiration, and body temperature) has attracted much attention, which are important for understanding the state of health. In recent years, as technology for sensing biological information has progressed, novel bio-sensors have been developed successively.

The purpose of this study is to enable a communication robot to estimate emotion state of a person based on autonomic nervous activity for human-robot ‘emotional’ interaction. In this paper, a microwave Doppler sensor is used as a non-contact technique to measure heart rate variability related to autonomic nervous activity. The experiment was conducted to confirm whether our proposed method can precisely estimate heart rate variability of subjects during watching different genre of videos or speaking. The results showed that the proposed method can estimate variability of autonomic nervous activity based on the analysis of heartbeat interval (R-R interval) and has a potential to be applicable in human-robot interaction., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017, The Proceedings of JSME annual Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (Robomec), 2017, 2A1-L07, Japanese, 2424-3124, 130006220889 - Non-contact Acquisition of Respiration and Heart Rates Using Doppler Radar with Time Domain Peak-detection Algorithm

The non-contact measurement of the respiration rate (RR) and heart rate (HR) using a Doppler radar has attracted more attention in the field of home healthcare monitoring, due to the extremely low burden on patients, unconsciousness and unconstraint. In this study, we propose a time-domain peak detection algorithm for the fast acquisition of the RR and HR within a breathing cycle (approximately 5 s). Signal pre-processing using an analog band-pass filter that extracts respiration and heartbeat signals was performed. Thereafter, the HR and RR were calculated using a peak position detection method. As a reference of HR and RR, the persons wore contact sensors i.e., an electrocardiograph (ECG) and a respiration band.

Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, The University of Electro-Communications, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Principal investigator, A novel infection screening system was developed for detecting patients with suspected infectious disease. The system was combined with optical and millimeter-wave senors to non-contact measurement of respiration rate, heart rate, body temperature, and blood oxygen saturation. In this study, we designed the prototype of the system; developed digital signal processing methods for measuring multiple vital signs and machine learning based algorithm to discriminate infected patients. The multiple vital-signs-based approach to infection screening could present a solution to outperform conventional fever-based screening., 19H02385

SUZUKI Satoshi
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Kansai University, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), This study aimed to develop a method for estimating relative change in blood pressure by noncontact measurements using a single microwave sensor. First, theoretical considerations of an estimation method based on noncontact measurements were carried out to develop two estimation formulas. Next, based on the results, a prototype system using a single microwave sensor was developed. To verify both estimation formulas and the prototype system, an in vitro experimental system was developed in which a verification experiment was conducted. Then, in vivo experiments were performed with the cooperation of the participants to verify the two estimation formulas and prototype system. Through these validation experiments using the prototype system and our developed estimation theory, we achieved positive results regarding the estimation of relative change in blood pressure in the optimal blood pressure range., 19K12884

孫光鎬
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, The University of Electro-Communications, Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), Principal investigator, Fever-based screening method has been adopted to identify potentially infected individuals using thermography. However, some studies indicate that fever-based screening at early-stages of infectious diseases is limited due to many factors that can affect thermographic measurements, such as antifebrile intake. We propose an infection screening system that can rapidly and accurately perform medical inspections. Heart and respiration rates are determined using a medical radar by noncontact way, and body temperature is monitored by thermography. By using these three parameters, the detection accuracy of the system improved comparing to conventional screening method. In this study, to further improve screening performance, one of the most promising approaches is to connect multiple infection screening systems, which enables information sharing between different systems. This will allow us to apply big data analysis techniques, which can be used to predict outbreaks of infectious diseases., 16K16363

Matsui Takemi
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), We conducted a research aiming to develop non-contact infection screening system and executed its performance evaluation. We developed a portable and a desktop type systems which measure respiration rate, body temperature and heart rate. By pressing photoplethysmographic sensor of the portable system to patient's carotid artery, it measures heart rate, its integrated infrared thermometer measures body surface temperature, and 24GHz Doppler radar measures respiration rate. We evaluated the performances at general clinic and elderly care type hospital. Our system could measure the vital signs within 10 seconds and discriminated infected and non-infected using machine learning algorithm. Moreover, we enabled automatic screening after we conducted clinical trials with influenza patients and pediatric pneumonia patients in Mongolia and Japan., 16K01365

Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Kansai University, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), In the present study, we aimed to develop a method for estimating the relative change in blood pressure by non-contact measurements using microwaves. At first, theoretical consideration of a method for estimating the blood pressure dedicated to non-contact monitoring using microwaves was initially conducted. To confirm the effectiveness of this new method, the prototype system for verification was subsequently created and then verified in laboratory experiments. Furthermore, to accumulate clinical knowledge and determine current issues associated with this method, clinical trials including patients with heart failure were planned. We achieved positive results through validation experiments using the prototype system implementing our developed estimation theory. Unfortunately, the clinical trials were not possible because the safety of patients with heart failure could not be ensured sufficiently. The clinical trials remain as a future task., 16H03215
