Article Synopsis
- Magnetic induction measurement (MIM) is a noninvasive technique used to monitor breathing in newborn piglets by placing measurement coils in their incubators, which helps in identifying acute pulmonary issues that might affect neurological development in preterm infants.
- In a study involving 11 piglets, MIM successfully detected most ventilation disorders like apnea and pneumothorax, showing significant changes in magnetic induction, whereas aspiration was not detected.
- The findings suggest that MIM could be beneficial for early detection of respiratory problems in newborns, potentially leading to timely therapeutic interventions, but the effectiveness is influenced by the placement of the measurement coils.
Background: Only a small fraction of the information available is generally used in the majority of camera-based sensing approaches for vital sign monitoring. Dedicated skin pixels, for example, fall into this category while other regions are often disregarded early in the processing chain.
Methods: We look at a simple processing chain for imaging where a video stream is converted to several other streams to investigate whether other image regions should also be considered.
