This study investigates the potential of deep learning methods to identify individuals with suspected COVID-19 infection using remotely collected heart-rate data. The study utilises data from the ongoing EU IMI RADAR-CNS research project that is investigating the feasibility of wearable devices and smart phones to monitor individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), depression or epilepsy. Aspart of the project protocol, heart-rate data was collected from participants using a Fitbit wristband. The presence of COVID-19 in the cohort in this work was either confirmed through a positive swab test, or inferred through the self-reporting of a combination of symptoms including fever, respiratory symptoms, loss of smell or taste, tiredness and gastrointestinal symptoms. Experimental results indicate that our proposed contrastive convolutional auto-encoder (contrastive CAE), i. e., a combined architecture of an auto-encoder and contrastive loss, outperforms a conventional convolutional neural network (CNN), as well as a convolutional auto-encoder (CAE) without using contrastive loss. Our final contrastive CAE achieves 95.3% unweighted average recall, 86.4% precision, anF1 measure of 88.2%, a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 90.6% on a testset of 19 participants with MS who reported symptoms of COVID-19. Each of these participants was paired with a participant with MS with no COVID-19 symptoms.

Continuous, ubiquitous monitoring through wearable sensors has the potential to collect useful information about users context. Heart rate is an important physiologic measure used in a wide variety of applications, such as fitness tracking and health monitoring. However, wearable sensors that monitor heart rate, such as smartwatches and electrocardiogram (ECG) patches, can have gaps in their data streams because of technical issues (e.g., bad wireless channels, battery depletion, etc.) or user-related reasons (e.g. motion artifacts, user compliance, etc.). The ability to use other available sensor data (e.g., smartphone data) to estimate missing heart rate readings is useful to cope with any such gaps, thus improving data quality and continuity. In this paper, we test the feasibility of estimating raw heart rate using smartphone sensor data. Using data generated by 12 participants in a one-week study period, we were able to build both personalized and generalized models using regression, SVM, and random forest algorithms. All three algorithms outperformed the baseline moving-average interpolation method for both personalized and generalized settings. Moreover, our findings suggest that personalized models outperformed the generalized models, which speaks to the importance of considering personal physiology, behavior, and life style in the estimation of heart rate. The promising results provide preliminary evidence of the feasibility of combining smartphone sensor data with wearable sensor data for continuous heart rate monitoring.
This paper presents a robust method to monitor heart rate (HR) from BCG (Ballistocardiography) signal, which is acquired from the sensor embedded in a chair or a mattress. The proposed algorithm addresses the shortfalls in traditional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based approaches by introducing Hilbert Transform to extract the pulse envelope that models the repetition of J-peaks in BCG signal. The frequency resolution is further enhanced by applying FFT and phase vocoder to the pulse envelope. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified by experiment from 7 subjects. For HR estimation, mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.90 beats per minute (BPM) and standard deviation of absolute error (STD) of 1.14 BPM are obtained. Pearson correlation coefficient between estimated HR and ground truth HR of 0.98 is also achieved.
The diagnosis of heart diseases is a difficult task generally addressed by an appropriate examination of patients clinical data. Recently, the use of heart rate variability (HRV) analysis as well as of some machine learning algorithms, has proved to be a valuable support in the diagnosis process. However, till now, ischemic heart disease (IHD) has been diagnosed on the basis of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) applied only to signs, symptoms and sequential ECG and coronary angiography, an invasive tool, while could be probably identified in a non-invasive way by using parameters extracted from HRV, a signal easily obtained from the ECG. In this study, 18 non-invasive features (age, gender, left ventricular ejection fraction and 15 obtained from HRV) of 243 subjects (156 normal subjects and 87 IHD patients) were used to train and validate a series of several ANN, different for number of input and hidden nodes. The best result was obtained using 7 input parameters and 7 hidden nodes with an accuracy of 98.9% and 82% for the training and validation dataset, respectively.
This paper presents a method that estimates the respiratory rate based on the frame capturing of wireless local area networks. The method uses beamforming feedback matrices (BFMs) contained in the captured frames, which is a rotation matrix of channel state information (CSI). BFMs are transmitted unencrypted and easily obtained using frame capturing, requiring no specific firmware or WiFi chipsets, unlike the methods that use CSI. Such properties of BFMs allow us to apply frame capturing to various sensing tasks, e.g., vital sensing. In the proposed method, principal component analysis is applied to BFMs to isolate the effect of the chest movement of the subject, and then, discrete Fourier transform is performed to extract respiratory rates in a frequency domain. Experimental evaluation results confirm that the frame-capture-based respiratory rate estimation can achieve estimation error lower than 3.2 breaths/minute.
Electrocardiography (ECG) signal is a highly applied measurement for individual heart condition, and much effort have been endeavored towards automatic heart arrhythmia diagnosis based on machine learning. However, traditional machine learning models require large investment of time and effort for raw data preprocessing and feature extraction, as well as challenged by poor classification performance. Here, we propose a novel deep learning model, named Attention-Based Convolutional Neural Networks (ABCNN) that taking advantage of CNN and multi-head attention, to directly work on the raw ECG signals and automatically extract the informative dependencies for accurate arrhythmia detection. To evaluate the proposed approach, we conduct extensive experiments over a benchmark ECG dataset. Our main task is to find the arrhythmia from normal heartbeats and, at the meantime, accurately recognize the heart diseases from five arrhythmia types. We also provide convergence analysis of ABCNN and intuitively show the meaningfulness of extracted representation through visualization. The experimental results show that the proposed ABCNN outperforms the widely used baselines, which puts one step closer to intelligent heart disease diagnosis system.
