This paper proposes with error-rate for an ECG classifier to support doctors in clinical diagnosis. In particular, ECG signals, which are diversity, may be obtained from various ECG machines on many patients. Therefore, ECG classification has been a critical challenge for scientists in recent years. In the previous studies, the ECG classification produced a promised precision. However, diversity phenomenon...
Objective: For the further development of the fields of telemedicine, neurotechnology, and brain–computer interfaces, advances in hybrid multimodal signal acquisition and processing technology are invaluable.

A Front-End system composed of an instrumentation amplifier with common-mode feedback and a second-order sigma-delta analog to digital converter is proposed. Chopping techniques are used to remove offset and low-frequency noise to guarantee a noise floor below the signal of interest. Measurements show that common-mode feedback adds 71 dB to the CMRR at 50 Hz and the input referred noise is 1.17 μVRMs...
Pulse oximeters use photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals for measurement of oxygen saturation in arterial blood. They measure volumetric changes in the blood flowing through the body, usually extremities such as a finger or an ear lobe. The peripheral pulse signal obtained by transmitted light through the illuminated body extremity, gets modulated by heart synchronous pulse, respiratory activity and...

The relationship between sleep quality and daytime wellness and performance in severely disabled, autistic children is not well understood. While polysomnography and, more recently, actigraphy serve as means to obtain sleep assessment data from neurotypical children and adults, these techniques are not well-suited to severely autistic children. This paper presents recent progress on a bed sensor suite...
