IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine

The ISO/IEEE 11073 (x73) family of standards is a reference frame for medical device interoperability. A draft for an ECG device specialization (ISO/IEEE 11073-10406-d02) has already been presented to the Personal Health Device (PHD) Working Group, and ...

Localization of the initial site of cardiac ectopic activity has direct clinical benefits for treating focal cardiac arrhythmias. The aim of the present study is to experimentally evaluate the performance of the equivalent moving dipole technique on ...

Thanks and lists the editors and reviewers who contributed to IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine.

Modern e-Health systems require advanced computing and storage capabilities, leading to the adoption of technologies like the grid and giving birth to novel health grid systems. In particular, intensive care medicine uses this paradigm when facing a ...

Visualized freehand 3-D ultrasound reconstruction offers to image incremental reconstruction during acquisition and guide users to scan interactively for high-quality volumes. We originally used the graphics processing unit (GPU) to develop a visualized ...

Challenges remain in imaging fast biological activities through whole small animal using fluorescence diffuse optical tomography (FDOT). In this study, a novel full-angle FDOT with spatially coded parallel excitation (SC-FDOT) is proposed, which ...

The color images produced by digital cameras are usually device-dependent, i.e., the generated color information (usually presented in RGB color space) is dependent on the imaging characteristics of specific cameras. This is a serious problem in ...

The increasing volume of data describing human disease processes and the growing complexity of understanding, managing, and sharing such data presents a huge challenge for clinicians and medical researchers. This paper presents the @neurIST system, ...

In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for measuring protein similarity based on their 3-D structure (protein tertiary structure). The algorithm used a suffix tree for discovering common parts of main chains of all proteins appearing in the current ...

This paper presents low-power radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology for intelligent healthcare systems. With attention to power-efficient communication in the body sensor network, RF power transfer was estimated and the required lowpower ICs, ...

Implantable medical devices (IMDs) have played an important role in many medical fields. Any failure in IMDs operations could cause serious consequences and it is important to protect the IMDs access from unauthenticated access. This study investigates ...

In this paper, we present three active learning strategies for the classification of electrocardiographic (ECG) signals. Starting from a small and suboptimal training set, these learning strategies select additional beat samples from a large set of ...

Ensemble empirical-mode decomposition (EEMD) is a novel adaptive time-frequency analysis method, which is particularly suitable for extracting useful information from noisy nonlinear or nonstationary data. Unfortunately, since the EEMD is highly compute-...

The judgment standards of R-K method include ambiguities and are thus compensated by subjective interpretations of sleep-stage scorers. This paper presents a novel method to compensate uncertainties in judgments by the subjective interpretations by the ...

A fundamental challenge limiting information quality obtained from smart sensing garments is the influence of textile movement relative to limbs.We present and validate a comprehensive modeling and simulation framework to predict recognition performance ...

This paper describes a novel healthcare IT platform developed under the LOBIN project, which allows monitoring several physiological parameters, such as ECG, heart rate, body temperature, etc., and tracking the location of a group of patients within ...

This paper proposes a multiagent system (MAS) that uses smart wearable devices and mobile technology for the care of patients in a geriatric home care facility. The system is based on an advanced ZigBee wireless sensor network (WSN) and includes ...

During the stress of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), it is difficult to maintain the right rhythm and correct ratio of insufflations to chest compressions and to exert the compressions at a constant pressure. In this paper, we propose and ...

We present a new fall-detection method using a floor sensor based on near-field imaging. The test floor had a resolution of 9 × 16. The shape, size, and magnitude of the patterns are used for classification. A test including 650 events and ten people ...
