With the aging of the population, comes increased incidence of chronic diseases affecting the cardiac and respiratory systems. Monitoring of these chronic conditions at home via family members or in institutions via healthcare providers is usually adequate during the day. Non-intrusive video-based monitoring approaches have been proposed using optical cameras whose performance significantly deteriorates...
Measuring vital signs such as heart rate using a camera has the potential to enable better health monitoring for subjects at risk and as such enhance their quality of life. Applications could include driver monitoring via in-dash camera, critical function operator monitoring at work, or remote health monitoring via a webcam. For such a system to be feasible however, it needs to be work well in realistic...
The world's expanding and aging population has created a demand for inexpensive, unobtrusive, automated healthcare solutions. Eulerian Video Magnification (EVM) aids in the development of these solutions by allowing for the extraction of physiological signals from video data. This paper examines the potential of thermal video in conjunction with EVM to extract physiological measures, particularly...
A new understanding about the role and importance of sleep in health combined with rapidly aging demographics presents opportunities for research and development of new approaches in sleep monitoring. As well, challenges with the current sleep-monitoring solution can be addressed by studying the suitability of new monitoring technologies. This paper presents a small-scale validation of the unobtrusive...
