Article Abstract

Detection and classification of adventitious acoustic lung sounds plays an important role in diagnosing, monitoring, controlling and, caring the patients with lung diseases. Such systems can be presented as different platforms like medical devices, standalone software or smartphone application. Ubiquity of smartphones and widespread use of the corresponding applications make such a device an attractive platform for hosting the detection and classification systems for adventitious lung sounds. In this paper, the smartphone-based systems for automatic detection and classification of the adventitious lung sounds are surveyed. Such adventitious sounds include cough, wheeze, crackle and, snore. Relevant sounds related to abnormal respiratory activities are considered as well. The methods are shortly described and the analyzing algorithms are explained. The analysis includes detection and/or classification of the sound events. A summary of the main surveyed methods together with the classification parameters and used features for the sake of comparison is given. Existing challenges, open issues and future trends will be discussed as well.

Accurate detection of cardiac arrhythmias is crucial for preventing premature deaths. The current study employs a dual-stage Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and a median filter to eliminate noise from ECG signals. Subsequently, ECG signals are segmented, and QRS regions are extracted for further preprocessing.

Background: Despite the ample benefits of physical activity (PA), many individuals do not meet the minimum PA recommended by health organizations. Structured questionnaires and interviews are commonly used to study why individuals perform PA and their strategies to adhere to PA. However, certain biases are inherent to these tools that limit what can be concluded from their results.

The approaches used to determine the medicinal properties of the plants are often destructive, labor-intensive, time-consuming, and expensive, making it impossible to analyze their quality analysis online. Performance of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) integrated with intelligent techniques to overcome these problems was investigated in this research. For this purpose, three classification methods-support vector machine, random forest (RF), and extreme gradient boosting-were studied for the classification of plants in three classes of medicinal, edible, and ornamental for the organs of leaf, stem, flower, and root.
