Objective: To address the limitations of conventional aphasia therapy by developing and clinically evaluating a machine learning based interactive lab for personalized rehabilitation in post-stroke patients. Methods and Procedures: A four week clinical trial was conducted with 27 aphasia patients, randomly assigned to an experimental group ( $n=11$ ) using the Language Interactive Lab and a control group ( $n=16$ ) receiving conventional therapy. Language performance was assessed using the Chinese Communicative Aphasia Test (CCAT). System interaction data were also used to train classifiers for aphasia severity and recovery tracking. Results: The experimental group showed statistically significant improvements in 7 out of 9 CCAT subtests ( $p lt 0.05$ ) and a highly significant total score increase ( $p lt 0.001$ ) compared to the control group. Machine learning classifiers achieved up to 91.7% accuracy in predicting aphasia severity and recovery progression. Conclusion: The proposed interactive lab integrates gamified therapy with real time, explainable machine learning assessment, demonstrates clinical efficacy in improving language outcomes, and offers a scalable framework for AI-driven, adaptive neurorehabilitation that has been clinically validated within a hospital setting and designed to align with Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) regulatory principles for translational deployment in clinical environments and hospital investigational use guidelines. Clinical Impact—The integration of gamified digital therapy with machine learning analytics supports personalized, data driven intervention for aphasia rehabilitation in both clinical and home settings, particularly in resource limited environments. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement—This study supports Clinical Research by demonstrating that AI-powered digital therapy significantly improves language outcomes in post-stroke aphasia patients and offers a pathway to scalable, at home neurorehabilitation.

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) represents a spectrum of premalignant lesions requiring accurate early detection to prevent progression to invasive cervical cancer. Colposcopy with visual inspection using acetic acid (VIA) is the gold standard for CIN assessment but suffers from substantial interobserver variability, limiting diagnostic consistency. We evaluated hyperspectral imaging (HSI) as an objective, non-invasive method for characterizing CIN-related tissue changes. This prospective proof-of-principle clinical study enrolled women with histologically confirmed CIN3 indicated for large-loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ). Standardized colposcopic images following VIA were obtained and annotated independently by five certified colposcopists according to IFCPC Rio 2011 classification. These annotations served as pathological tissue region references and were quantitatively assessed using intersection over union metrics to evaluate interobserver agreement. HSI was performed immediately prior to LLETZ using the TIVITA Tissue System, capturing spectral reflectance data across 500–995 nm in 100 wavelength bands. Spatial correspondence between colposcopic and hyperspectral images was achieved through homography transformation based on landmark alignment, allowing expert annotations to be projected into the HSI domain. Reflectance spectra from annotated areas were averaged to calculate four proprietary HSI-derived tissue indices, which revealed significantly higher values in CIN-affected regions compared to healthy tissue (p <0.01, Wilcoxon signed-rank test), suggesting increased vascularization and water content. Our findings highlight conventional colposcopy limitations due to examiner subjectivity and support HSI’s potential to provide reproducible, quantitative biomarkers for CIN. HSI integration into clinical workflows may enhance cervical cancer screening objectivity and enable reliable diagnostics in resource-limited settings. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement— Hyperspectral imaging enables objective detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and could improve diagnostic accuracy while reducing unnecessary biopsies
宫颈上皮内瘤变(CIN)代表了一系列需要准确早期检测的癌前病变,以防止进展为浸润性宫颈癌。阴道镜与醋酸目视检查(VIA)是评估CIN的金标准,但存在大量的观察者之间的差异,限制了诊断的一致性。我们评估了高光谱成像(HSI)作为一种客观的、非侵入性的方法来表征cin相关的组织变化。这项前瞻性的原理证明临床研究纳入了组织学证实的CIN3患者,她们需要进行大环切除转化区(LLETZ)。经VIA后的标准化阴道镜图像由五名经认证的阴道镜医师根据IFCPC里约热内卢2011分类独立获取和注释。这些注释作为病理组织区域参考,并使用交叉联合度量来定量评估观察者之间的一致性。在LLETZ之前,使用TIVITA组织系统进行HSI,在100个波长波段内捕获500-995 nm的光谱反射率数据。阴道镜和高光谱图像之间的空间对应通过基于地标对齐的单应变换实现,允许专家注释投影到HSI域中。对标注区域的反射光谱进行平均,以计算四种专有的hsi衍生组织指数,结果显示,与健康组织相比,cin影响区域的值显著高于健康组织(p <0.01, Wilcoxon符号秩检验),表明血管化和含水量增加。我们的研究结果强调了传统阴道镜检查的局限性,因为检查者的主观性,并支持HSI为CIN提供可重复的、定量的生物标志物的潜力。将HSI整合到临床工作流程中可以提高宫颈癌筛查的客观性,并在资源有限的情况下实现可靠的诊断。临床和转化影响声明-高光谱成像能够客观检测宫颈上皮内瘤变,可以提高诊断准确性,同时减少不必要的活检

Objective: Environmental noise poses a major barrier to the accuracy of self-administered hearing tests conducted outside clinical settings. There is a pressing need for effective noise control solutions to enable reliable hearing threshold measurements in everyday environments. This study introduces an optimized active noise cancellation (ANC) technique based on auditory masking characteristics. Method: The method was implemented in a mobile hearing test system using calibrated true wireless Bluetooth earphones. Electroacoustic validation and clinical testing were conducted across four ANC scenarios: normal, generic ANC off, generic ANC on, and optimized ANC on in 65 dB(A) pink noise. Results: A total of 50 participants completed hearing tests at eight frequencies (0.25–8 kHz), and results were compared to standard audiometry. The optimized ANC yielded the highest signal-to-noise ratio in noisy conditions and demonstrated strong agreement with standard hearing thresholds (r = 0.99, p <.01) in normal environments. Under 65 dB(A) noise, the proposed method significantly outperformed generic ANC with smaller hearing measurement error, improving threshold accuracy across most frequencies. Conclusion: The proposed ANC technique enhances hearing test reliability in noisy conditions, supporting accurate, self-administered hearing assessments outside clinical settings. This technology has strong potential for home or community-based hearing healthcare applications.
目的:环境噪声是在临床环境之外进行的自我听力测试准确性的主要障碍。迫切需要有效的噪声控制解决方案,以便在日常环境中实现可靠的听力阈值测量。本文介绍了一种基于听觉掩蔽特性的优化主动降噪技术。方法:采用校准后的真无线蓝牙耳机在移动听力测试系统中实施该方法。电声验证和临床测试在四种情况下进行:正常、普通ANC关闭、普通ANC打开和65 dB(A)粉红噪声下的优化ANC打开。结果:共有50名参与者完成了8个频率(0.25-8 kHz)的听力测试,并将结果与标准听力学进行了比较。优化后的ANC在噪声条件下产生最高的信噪比,与正常环境下的标准听力阈值非常吻合(r = 0.99, p < 0.01)。在65 dB(A)噪声下,该方法显著优于一般的ANC,具有较小的听力测量误差,提高了大多数频率的阈值精度。结论:提出的ANC技术提高了噪声条件下听力测试的可靠性,支持临床之外准确的、自我管理的听力评估。这项技术在家庭或社区听力保健应用方面具有很大的潜力。

Objective: Approaches based on a single-channel airflow has shown great potential for simplifying pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis. However, analysis has been limited to feature-engineering techniques, restricting identification of complex respiratory patterns, and reducing diagnostic performance in automated models. Here, we propose deep-learning and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to estimate the pediatric OSA severity from airflow, while ensuring transparency in automatic decisions. Technology or Method: We used 3,672 overnight airflow recordings from four pediatric datasets. A convolutional neural network (CNN)-based regression model was trained to estimate the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and predict OSA severity. We evaluated and compared Gradient-Weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to identify the airflow regions where the CNN focuses for predictions. Results: The proposed model demonstrated high concordance between the actual and estimated AHI (intraclass correlation coefficient from 0.69 to 0.87 in the test group), and high diagnostic performance: four-class Cohen’s kappa between 0.37 and 0.43 and accuracies of 82.03%, 97.09%, and 99.03% for three OSA severity cutoffs (i.e. 1, 5, and 10 e/h) in the test group. The interpretability analysis with Grad-CAM and SHAP revealed that the CNN accurately identifies apneic events by focusing on their onset and offset. Both techniques provided complementary information about the model’s decision-making. While Grad-CAM highlighted respiratory events with abrupt signal changes, SHAP captured more subtle patterns with noise included. Conclusions: Accordingly, our model can help automatically detect pediatric OSA and offers clinicians an explainable approach that enhances credibility and usability, thus providing a path toward clinical translation in early diagnosis. Clinical Impact: This study presents an interpretable deep-learning tool using airflow to accurately detect pediatric obstructive sleep apnea, enabling early, objective diagnosis and supporting clinical decision-making through identification of relevant respiratory patterns.
目的:基于单通道气流的方法在简化儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)诊断方面显示出巨大的潜力。然而,分析仅限于特征工程技术,限制了复杂呼吸模式的识别,并降低了自动化模型的诊断性能。在这里,我们提出了深度学习和可解释的人工智能(XAI)来估计儿科OSA严重程度的气流,同时确保自动决策的透明度。技术或方法:我们使用了来自四个儿科数据集的3,672个夜间气流记录。训练基于卷积神经网络(CNN)的回归模型来估计呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)并预测OSA严重程度。我们评估并比较了梯度加权类激活映射(Grad-CAM)和SHapley加性解释(SHAP),以确定CNN集中预测的气流区域。结果:所提出的模型在实际AHI和估计AHI之间具有较高的一致性(实验组的类内相关系数为0.69 ~ 0.87),并且具有较高的诊断性能:四类Cohen 's kappa在0.37 ~ 0.43之间,在实验组的三个OSA严重程度截止点(即1、5、10 e/h)的准确率分别为82.03%、97.09%和99.03%。使用Grad-CAM和SHAP进行的可解释性分析显示,CNN通过关注其发作和抵消来准确识别呼吸暂停事件。两种技术都提供了关于模型决策的补充信息。Grad-CAM突出了带有突然信号变化的呼吸事件,而SHAP捕获了包含噪声的更微妙的模式。结论:因此,我们的模型可以帮助自动检测儿童OSA,并为临床医生提供了一种可解释的方法,提高了可信度和可用性,从而为早期诊断的临床翻译提供了途径。临床影响:本研究提出了一种可解释的深度学习工具,利用气流准确检测儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停,通过识别相关呼吸模式,实现早期、客观诊断和支持临床决策。

Background: Tremor is the most common movement disorder and a prevalent symptom of neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). Given the limitations of medication, which may not effectively treat tremor, and the limited availability of surgical treatments such as deep brain stimulation, there is a pressing clinical need for non-invasive therapeutic alternatives, including peripheral electrical stimulation. The high variability of PD tremor poses a challenge to such therapies and calls for person-specific stimulation parameters. Methods: We developed a wrist-worn system incorporating an adaptable phase-tracking algorithm designed for real-time estimation of Parkinsonian rest tremor phase. The algorithm dynamically adapts to tremor variability, including changes in the axis of maximum excursion and center frequency. The system was first validated offline, followed by in-clinic feasibility testing in three individuals with PD. The system triggered the delivery of both phasic and open-loop electrical stimulation to the participant’s wrist. Results: Robust phase estimation was achieved both offline and in all participants. The system adapted to changes in tremor dominant axis and center frequency. Modest tremor modulation was observed at select person-specific settings. Conclusion: This work provides a novel platform for research involving tremor phase tracking, accounting for PD tremor variability, and a foundation for developing personalized, non-invasive tremor management strategies. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement—This study presents a wearable system for adaptive tremor phase tracking validated in individuals with Parkinson’s disease and establishes a foundation for further development of personalized non-invasive tremor management strategies.

背景:震颤是最常见的运动障碍,也是神经退行性疾病如帕金森病(PD)的普遍症状。考虑到药物治疗的局限性,可能无法有效治疗震颤,以及手术治疗如深部脑刺激的有限可用性,迫切需要非侵入性治疗替代方案,包括外周电刺激。PD震颤的高度可变性对此类治疗提出了挑战,并需要针对个人的刺激参数。方法:我们开发了一种腕带系统,该系统采用自适应相位跟踪算法,用于实时估计帕金森病静止震颤相位。该算法动态适应地震的可变性,包括最大偏移轴和中心频率的变化。该系统首先进行了离线验证,然后在三名PD患者中进行了临床可行性测试。该系统触发了对参与者手腕的相位和开环电刺激。结果:在离线和所有参与者中都实现了稳健的相位估计。该系统能适应震颤主轴和中心频率的变化。适度的震颤调节被观察到在选择的个人特定设置。结论:本研究为震颤相位跟踪、PD震颤变异性的研究提供了一个新的平台,为开发个性化、非侵入性震颤治疗策略奠定了基础。临床和转化影响声明:本研究提出了一种可穿戴系统,用于自适应震颤阶段跟踪,在帕金森病患者中得到验证,为进一步发展个性化的非侵入性震颤管理策略奠定了基础。类别:临床研究。

Objective: This study describes the design and evaluation of volunteer user trials of an unobtrusive Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI) vital sign sensing system in older participants aged 60 years and older in different home environments. Methods and procedures: In terms of experiment design, the implementation of user-centric sensor placement and integration informed consent with various experimental elements in the design of experiments of older people. The implemented signal processing algorithm, which extracts vital signs from the Wi-Fi CSI signal to obtain respiration and heart rate measurements, employs wavelet filtering techniques. For selecting of vital sign signals from the 52 CSI subcarriers, the Principal Component Sample Entropy (PC-SampEn) was implemented to capture the information most relevant to vital signs.Results: Two cardiorespiratory vital sign measurements were validated against wearable ground-truth devices, a respiratory belt and a photoplethysmogram (PPG). The results demonstrated an expected decrease in accuracy and measurement agreement in uncontrolled home environments.Conclusion: Although respiratory rate measurements have demonstrated promising accuracy and agreement in uncontrolled environments, heart rate measurements observed high variability in these scenarios due to challenging signal extraction. Further experiments must be conducted to address the limitation in sample size and the technical challenges in heart rate signal extraction to improve accuracy. Clinical and Translational Impact: This study provides a design of unobtrusive care technology for vital sign sensing for older adults, demonstrated and evaluated in the context of in-home monitoring for healthcare.
目的:本研究描述了一种不显眼的Wi-Fi信道状态信息(CSI)生命体征感知系统的志愿者用户试验的设计和评估,该系统在不同的家庭环境中对60岁及以上的老年参与者进行了试验。方法和步骤:在实验设计方面,在老年人实验设计中,实施以用户为中心的传感器放置,并将知情同意与各种实验元素相结合。所实现的信号处理算法采用小波滤波技术,从Wi-Fi CSI信号中提取生命体征以获得呼吸和心率测量值。为了从52个CSI子载波中选择生命体征信号,采用主成分样本熵(PC-SampEn)方法捕获与生命体征最相关的信息。结果:两项心肺生命体征测量与可穿戴的地面真实装置、呼吸带和光容积描记图(PPG)进行了验证。结果表明,在不受控制的家庭环境中,准确度和测量一致性预期会下降。结论:尽管呼吸频率测量在不受控制的环境中显示出了良好的准确性和一致性,但由于具有挑战性的信号提取,心率测量在这些情况下观察到高变异性。为了提高心率信号提取的准确性,必须进行进一步的实验来解决样本量的限制和技术挑战。临床和转化影响:本研究为老年人生命体征感知提供了一种不显眼的护理技术设计,并在医疗保健家庭监测的背景下进行了演示和评估。

Objective: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is essential for managing medication dosages in critically ill patients, particularly for antibiotics such as vancomycin. The dynamic physiological conditions of critically ill patients require frequent monitoring of vancomycin levels to ensure therapeutic therapeutic efficacy while minimizing toxicity. Traditional Bayesian methods and pharmacokinetic (PK) models often fail because of the complex and unpredictable nature of these patients’ conditions, as well as the limitations of standard PK modeling.Methods and procedures: This study aimed to establish a gated recurrent unit (GRU)-integrated joint multilayer perceptron network (GointMLP) model to predict sequential vancomycin TDM levels in patients in the intensive care unit. The proposed model consists of three modules to maintain consistent therapeutic vancomycin concentrations while accommodating individual patient differences. By integrating regression and classification predictions, GointMLP provides a dual mechanism for clinicians to verify the reliability of predicted values for informed decision-making. Additionally, we have developed DeepTDM, a comprehensive decision support system designed for real-time vancomycin dose optimization to enhance clinical outcomes.Results: The GointMLP provides more accurate predictions compared to traditional PK models and other machine learning/deep learning approaches. This superior performance is demonstrated not only in local validation cohorts but also in the ethnically diverse MIMIC-IV dataset, validating the model’s robust generalizability.Conclusion: This work addresses the limitations of current methodologies while leveraging advancements in deep learning techniques, particularly demonstrating the effectiveness of GointMLP in enhancing patient outcomes through precise TDM. Efforts are underway to integrate DeepTDM into clinical practice, with the anticipation that it will not only support clinicians in decision-making but also substantially improve therapeutic outcomes for patients undergoing vancomycin therapy. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement: The proposed model and software enable individualized vancomycin dosing for critically ill patients, improving precision dosing and supporting seamless integration into clinical workflows
目的:治疗性药物监测(TDM)对于管理危重患者的用药剂量至关重要,特别是对于万古霉素等抗生素。危重患者的动态生理状况需要经常监测万古霉素水平,以确保治疗效果,同时尽量减少毒性。传统的贝叶斯方法和药代动力学(PK)模型往往失败,因为这些患者病情的复杂性和不可预测性,以及标准的PK模型的局限性。方法和步骤:本研究旨在建立一个门控复发单元(GRU)-集成联合多层感知器网络(GointMLP)模型来预测重症监护病房患者万古霉素TDM的顺序水平。提出的模型由三个模块组成,以保持一致的万古霉素治疗浓度,同时适应个体患者的差异。通过整合回归和分类预测,GointMLP为临床医生提供了双重机制,以验证预测值的可靠性,从而做出明智的决策。此外,我们还开发了DeepTDM,这是一个全面的决策支持系统,旨在实时优化万古霉素剂量,以提高临床疗效。结果:与传统PK模型和其他机器学习/深度学习方法相比,GointMLP提供了更准确的预测。这种优越的性能不仅在本地验证队列中得到了证明,而且在种族多样化的MIMIC-IV数据集中也得到了证明,验证了模型的鲁棒泛化性。结论:这项工作解决了当前方法的局限性,同时利用了深度学习技术的进步,特别是证明了GointMLP通过精确的TDM提高患者预后的有效性。人们正在努力将DeepTDM整合到临床实践中,期望它不仅能支持临床医生的决策,还能大大改善接受万古霉素治疗的患者的治疗效果。临床和转化影响声明:拟议的模型和软件可以为危重患者提供个性化的万古霉素剂量,提高精确剂量,并支持与临床工作流程的无缝集成

Objective: To examine how early pathophysiological changes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affect navigational decision-making by analyzing the complexity of driving routes in older adults with and without preclinical AD. Methods: We developed a novel route complexity metric based on the number of left and right turns and the deviation from the most direct path, accounting for cognitive load during navigation. Naturalistic GPS driving data were collected for a year from 111 older adults aged 65–85, with preclinical AD status determined via cerebrospinal fluid amyloid biomarkers. A multiple linear regression model was used to assess the relationship between age, preclinical AD status, and route complexity. Results: The findings of this study indicate that preclinical AD may influence the navigational abilities of older adults. After controlling for age, participants with preclinical AD chose routes with higher baseline complexity than the control group. It further revealed that participants with preclinical AD selected routes with lower complexity as they aged—a trend not observed in healthy controls. Conclusion: Preclinical AD is associated with changes in spatial decision-making that are observable in real-world driving behaviours. The age-related decline in route complexity among those with preclinical AD may reflect compensatory strategies or progressive cognitive changes. Clinical Impact: This study presents a non-invasive, behaviour-based metric that could support early detection of cognitive decline. It may also inform the design of personalized mobility interventions and dementia-friendly mobility systems.
目的:通过分析老年阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者和非老年阿尔茨海默病患者驾驶路线的复杂性,探讨老年阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者早期病理生理变化对导航决策的影响。方法:在考虑认知负荷的情况下,提出了一种基于左、右转弯次数和偏离最直接路径的路径复杂度度量方法。该研究收集了111名年龄在65-85岁之间的老年人一年的自然GPS驾驶数据,通过脑脊液淀粉样蛋白生物标志物确定其临床前AD状态。采用多元线性回归模型评估年龄、临床前AD状态和路径复杂性之间的关系。结果:本研究结果提示临床前AD可能影响老年人的导航能力。在控制了年龄后,临床前AD患者选择的路线比对照组具有更高的基线复杂性。它进一步揭示了临床前AD患者随着年龄的增长选择了复杂性较低的路线——这一趋势在健康对照组中没有观察到。结论:临床前AD与现实驾驶行为中可观察到的空间决策变化有关。在临床前AD患者中,与年龄相关的路径复杂性下降可能反映了代偿策略或进行性认知变化。临床影响:本研究提出了一种非侵入性的、基于行为的指标,可以支持早期发现认知能力下降。它还可以为个性化行动干预措施和痴呆症友好行动系统的设计提供信息。

Objective: The detection of heart abnormalities using electrocardiograms (ECG) is a critical task in medical diagnostics. A lot of literature has utilized ResNet and Transformer architectures to detect heart disease based on ECG signals. Recently, a new class of algorithms has emerged, challenging these established methods. A selective state space model (SSM) called Mamba has exhibited promising potential as an alternative to Transformers due to its efficient handling of longer sequences. In this context, we propose a Mamba-based model for detecting heart abnormalities, named ECG-Mamba. Recognizing that common data augmentation methods such as MixUp and CutMix do not perform well with Mamba on ECG data, we introduce a data augmentation technique called non-uniform-mix to enhance the model’s performance.Methods and procedures: ECG-Mamba is based on Vision Mamba (Vim), a variant of Mamba that utilizes a bidirectional SSM, enhancing its capability to process ECG data effectively. To address the sensitivity of the Mamba model to noise and the lack of suitable data augmentation techniques, we propose a data augmentation algorithm that conservatively introduces data augmentation by performing non-uniform operations on the dataset across different epochs. Specifically, we apply MixUp to a portion of the dataset in different epochs.Results: Experimental results indicate that ECG-Mamba outperforms the best algorithms in the PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology (CinC) Challenges of 2020 and 2021 based on the AUPRC and AUROC, specifically with ECG-Mamba achieving an AUPRC score 16.6% higher than the best algorithm in the PhysioNet/CinC Challenge 2021 on 12-lead ECGs, reaching 0.61. Moreover, with the proposed data augmentation method Non-Uniform-Mix, ECG-Mamba’s AUPRC reached 0.6271, representing a 2.8% improvement.Conclusion: The ECG-Mamba model, based on the SSM, demonstrates potential in detecting cardiac abnormalities from ECG data. Although the model surpasses existing algorithms, it exhibits sensitivity to noise, requiring careful data augmentation. The proposed conservative data augmentation technique addresses this challenge and improves the model’s performance, suggesting a promising direction for future research in ECG analysis using SSMs. The implementation is publicly available at https://huggingface.co/poult/ECGMambaVersionOfJTEHM2020-2021_final.Clinical and Translational Impact Statement: ECG-Mamba enhances heart abnormality detection, enabling early diagnosis and personalised treatment in resource-limited and telemedicine settings. Using real-world data from the PhysioNet/CinC Challenges 2020 and 2021, it accurately models multiple concurrent cardiac conditions, reflecting complex clinical scenarios. Its conservative Non-Uniform-Mix augmentation mitigates noise sensitivity, improving accuracy and reliability for seamless integration into clinical workflows, thus supporting evidence-based practice and addressing healthcare disparities.
目的:利用心电图检测心脏异常是医学诊断中的一项重要任务。许多文献利用ResNet和Transformer架构来检测基于心电信号的心脏病。最近,一类新的算法出现了,挑战这些既定的方法。选择性状态空间模型(SSM)称为曼巴已经显示出有希望的潜力,作为替代变形金刚由于其有效的处理较长的序列。在这种情况下,我们提出了一种基于曼巴的检测心脏异常的模型,称为ecg -曼巴。认识到常见的数据增强方法如MixUp和CutMix在曼巴心电图数据上表现不佳,我们引入了一种称为非均匀混合的数据增强技术来提高模型的性能。方法和步骤:ECG-Mamba是基于视觉曼巴(Vim),曼巴的一种变体,利用双向SSM,增强其有效处理ECG数据的能力。为了解决曼巴模型对噪声的敏感性和缺乏合适的数据增强技术,我们提出了一种数据增强算法,该算法通过在不同时代的数据集上执行非均匀操作来保守地引入数据增强。具体来说,我们将MixUp应用于不同时代的部分数据集。结果:实验结果表明,在基于AUPRC和AUROC的2020年和2021年的PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology (cinology)挑战赛中,ECG-Mamba的表现优于最佳算法,特别是在12联头心电图上,ECG-Mamba的AUPRC得分比最佳算法高出16.6%,达到0.61。此外,采用本文提出的数据增强方法Non-Uniform-Mix, ECG-Mamba的AUPRC达到0.6271,提高2.8%。结论:基于SSM的ECG- mamba模型显示了从ECG数据检测心脏异常的潜力。尽管该模型超越了现有的算法,但它对噪声很敏感,需要仔细地增强数据。所提出的保守数据增强技术解决了这一挑战,提高了模型的性能,为使用ssm进行心电分析的未来研究提供了一个有希望的方向。该技术的实施可在https://huggingface.co/poult/ECGMambaVersionOfJTEHM2020-2021_final.Clinical和转化影响声明中公开获得:ECG-Mamba增强了心脏异常检测,使资源有限和远程医疗环境中的早期诊断和个性化治疗成为可能。使用来自PhysioNet/CinC挑战2020和2021的真实世界数据,它准确地模拟了多种并发心脏病,反映了复杂的临床场景。其保守的非均匀混合增强功能减轻了噪声敏感性,提高了与临床工作流程无缝集成的准确性和可靠性,从而支持循证实践并解决医疗保健差异。

Objective: Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis relies on the evaluation of motor and non-motor symptoms, with gait abnormalities serving as a key marker for early detection. Traditional clinical assessment often relies on visual gait analysis, which is a subjective process prone to bias. This study introduces a PD severity classification method that leverages gait features. Methods: A Spatial-temporal Convolutional neural network-Transformer (ST-CNN-Transformer) model for PD severity classification was established. Multimodal gait data, including foot acceleration, angular velocity, and Vertical Ground Reaction Force (VGRF), were collected in collaboration with Xiangyang First People’s Hospital, Hubei Province. Zero-velocity points (ZVPs) were detected using the Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT), and gait cycle features were extracted from inertial measurement unit data for precise segmentation. The ST-CNN-Transformer model captures spatial-temporal features and periodic correlations. Results: Evaluation on a dataset comprising 10 healthy controls and 30 PD patients yielded a classification accuracy of 98.81%, surpassing existing gait-based methods for PD severity classification. Conclusion: This study introduces a deep learning (DL) approach to automating PD severity classification by integrating ZVP and gait segmentation derived from multimodal data. The proposed model significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy. Significance: By combining DL with GLRT-based gait segmentation and multimodal gait analysis, this study proposes a robust and interpretable PD severity assessment framework that contributes to more accurate and objective clinical decision-making.

Results: Evaluation on a dataset comprising 10 healthy controls and 30 PD patients yielded a classification accuracy of 98.81%, surpassing existing gait-based methods for PD severity classification. Conclusion: This study introduces a deep learning (DL) approach to automating PD severity classification by integrating ZVP and gait segmentation derived from multimodal data. The proposed model significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy. Significance: By combining DL with GLRT-based gait segmentation and multimodal gait analysis, this study proposes a robust and interpretable PD severity assessment framework that contributes to more accurate and objective clinical decision-making.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"13 ","pages":"450-460"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11172342","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145255901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
