High risk pregnancy can lead both mother and developing fetus to death. Proper antenatal care before and during pregnancy may decrease the risk of complications. Clinical decision support system (CDSS) is one of health information systems for assisting health providers in decision making that can improve the quality of prenatal care. However, there are difficulties in CDSS's knowledge maintenance...
Globally, there are 9.4 million cardiovascular deaths accounted for by hypertension complications. Prediction studies reveal that this number will increase to 1.15 billion in 2025 due to lack of awareness and insufficient treatment. Treatments in lowering blood pressure are less successful. Another factor is the presence of hypertension medication resistance among patients. This suggests that a solution...
Ultrasound devices provide either diagnostic or therapeutic purpose in biomedical application. To avoid unwanted power exposure to the patient for safety concern but at the same time maintaining optimum diagnostic and therapeutic effect, ultrasound power meter is used to measure and calibrate the output power and intensity of the ultrasound machine. Most of the current ultrasound power meters are...
As stated by WHO, around 9.2% of 28 million newborn babies worldwide are stillbirths. Moreover, approximately 358,000 women died in 2008 due to birth complication. Most of these incidents occur in developing countries. Existing telehealth systems are not integrated in rural and remote areas. Midwives in those areas do not get any support by medical specialists during high risk pregnancy situations...
In diagnosis, planning, intervention and monitoring of the potentially fatal Coronary Artery Disease multimodal medical imaging plays an important role. Medical cardiac images of patients suffering from Atherosclerosis exhibit information on cardiovascular plaque that can cause a sudden death due to its vulnerability. The identification of vulnerable plaque is an important research field and can be...
This work deals with the development of ultrasound power measurement system on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform. Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) was employed to sense medical ultrasonic signal. PVDF film's behavior and its electro-acoustic model were observed. Signal conditioner circuit was then described. Next, a robust low-cost casing for PVDF sensor was built, followed by the proposal...
