Automated Bowel Sound and Motility Analysis with CNN Using a Smartphone.

Bowel sound (BS) is receiving more attention as an indicator of gut health since it can be acquired non-invasively. Current gut health diagnostic tests require special devices that are limited to hospital settings. This study aimed to develop a prototype smartphone application that can record BS using built-in microphones and automatically analyze the sounds.

Finding temporal gene expression patterns for translational research.

Translational research of time-series of gene-expression microarray datasets makes use on gene expression profiles that have been obtained at different points in time. Our web-based multi-user program helps a researcher find temporal patterns like peaks in large pre-selected microarray data sets that include data from different but related studies in publicly available databases. If all studies use the same platform, data can be combined for a meta-analysis type approach.
