Due to its non-contact characteristics, remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) has attracted widespread attention in recent years, and has been widely applied for remote physiological measurements. However, most of the existing rPPG models are unable to estimate multiple physiological signals simultaneously, and the performance of the limited available multi-task models is also restricted due to their single-model architectures. To address the above problems, this study proposes MultiPhys, adopting a heterogeneous network fusion approach for its development.

Menopause occurs due to the depletion of the ovarian reserve, leading to a progressive decline in estrogen (E2) levels. This decrease in E2 levels increases the risk of developing several diseases and can coexist with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Arterial hypertension (AH) is another condition associated with menopause and may either contribute to or result from CKD.

Some previous studies have focused on using physiological signals to detect stress in individuals with ASD through wearable devices, yet few have focused on how to design such solutions. Wearable technology may be a valuable tool to aid parents and caregivers in monitoring the emotional states of individuals with ASD who are at high risk of experiencing very stressful situations. However, effective wearable devices for individuals with ASD may need to differ from solutions for those without ASD.

Unlabelled: Numerous studies highlight the significant role of exercise therapy in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), emphasizing how regular physical exercise enhances vascular endothelial function and promotes metabolic adaptations in skeletal muscles, ultimately improving walking performance. There are currently discussions in the medical world on optimizing noninvasive therapy to prevent the development of lower limb ischemia. This study aimed to assess the impact of a supervised training program combined with whirlpool massage treatment on improving peripheral circulation and physical performance in patients suffering from peripheral artery disease.

Objectives: Early detection of cardiovascular diseases and their pre-existing conditions, arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, is crucial to increasing a patient's chance of survival. While imaging technologies and invasive procedures provide a reliable diagnosis, they carry high costs and risks for patients. This study aims to explore impedance plethysmography (IPG) as a non-invasive and affordable alternative for diagnosis.
