In this paper we investigated whether the geographical variation of lung cancer incidence can be predicted through examining the spatiotemporal trend of particulate matter air pollution levels. Regional trends of air pollution levels were analyzed by a novel shapelet-based time series analysis technique. First, we identified U.S. counties with reportedly high and low lung cancer incidence between...
Complex cancer care requires careful coordination, but resource limitations result in lack of effective coordinated follow-up services. Recent advances in smartphones offer great opportunities for better segmentation of patient populations for cost-effective, targeted care coordination and monitoring or surveillance of cancer patients. This paper presents a framework of a smartphone app that provides...
Almost 30% of worldwide death cases are caused by cardiovascular diseases and this number is expected to increase. This paper aims to reduce this high-rate by developing a detection methodology to be used in finding cardiovascular abnormalities. Although researches have been focused on 12-lead systems, this paper narrows the detection down to 5-leads as a faster but still reliable procedure. The system...
The estimation of joint motion from muscle thickness has a variety of applications, such as gait analysis, muscle disease diagnosis, and prosthesis control. A wearable flexible ultrasonic sensor made from a piezoelectric polymer film is able to monitor muscle activities while allowing a wider range of body motion because of its lightweight compared to conventional medical ultrasonic probes. A bone-muscle...
