Incorporating medical students into school-based asthma education improves asthma knowledge in children.

Objectives: Asthma affects 1.1 million children in the UK, substantially impacting quality of life and leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Effective asthma self-management, education and empowerment can lead to a reduction in asthma related morbidity and mortality.

BioTranslator: Inferring R-Peaks from Ambulatory Wrist-Worn PPG Signal.

Advancements in wireless sensor networks (WSN) technology and miniaturization of wearable sensors have enabled long-term continuous pervasive biomedical signal monitoring. Wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors have gained popularity given their form factor. However the signal quality suffers due to motion artifacts when used in ambulatory settings, making vital parameter estimation a challenging task.

CorNET: Deep Learning Framework for PPG-Based Heart Rate Estimation and Biometric Identification in Ambulant Environment.

Advancements in wireless sensor network technologies have enabled the proliferation of miniaturized body-worn sensors, capable of long-term pervasive biomedical signal monitoring. Remote cardiovascular monitoring has been one of the beneficiaries of this development, resulting in non-invasive, photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors being used in ambulatory settings. Wrist-worn PPG, although a popular alternative to electrocardiogram, suffers from motion artifacts inherent in daily life.
