Exercise and Wellness Health Strategy Framework Software Prototype for Rapid Collection and Storage of Heterogeneous Health Related Data

BRŮHA, P., MOUČEK, R., ŠNEJDAR, P., BOHMANN, D., KRAFT, V., ŘEHOŘ, P. Exercise and Wellness Health Strategy Framework Software Prototype for Rapid Collection and Storage of Heterogeneous Health Related Data. In Proceedings of BIOSTEC 2017 - Volume 5: HEALTHINF. Setúbal: SciTePreess, 2017. s. 477-483. ISBN: 978-989-758-213-4
Abstract PDF BibTeX

Unwillingness of many people to assume responsibilities for a personal health, fitness and wellness seems to be widespread. This can be partially remedied by individualized exercise and wellness program that integrates the basic knowledge domains: lifestyle, sports and fitness, and nutrition and personal/environmental health. However, collection, management and analysis of data and metadata related to these domains is demanding and time consuming task. Moreover, the appropriate annotation of raw data is crucial for their next processing. To promote such a program a software infrastructure for collection, storage, management, analysis and interpretation of health related data and metadata has been proposed and part of this infrastructure has been developed and tested outside laboratory conditions. This software prototype allows experimenters to collect various heterogeneous health related data in a highly organized and efficient way. Data are then evaluated and users can view relevant information related to their health and fitness.

Experimental Design and Collection of Brain and Respiratory Data for Detection of Driver´s Attention

MOUČEK, R., HNOJSKÝ, L., VAŘEKA, L., PROKOP, T., BRŮHA, P. Experimental Design and Collection of Brain and Respiratory Data for Detection of Driver´s Attention. In BIOSTEC 2017 Proceedings of the 10th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies Volume 5: HEALTHINF. Setúbal: SciTePress, 2017. s. 441-450. ISBN: 978-989-758-213-4
Abstract PDF BibTeX

Attention of drivers is very important for road safety and it is worth observing even in laboratory conditions during a simulated drive. This paper deals with design of an experiment investigating driver?s attention, validation of collected data, and first preprocessing and processing steps used within data analysis. Brain activity is considered as a primary biosignal and is measured and analyzed using the techniques and methods of electroencephalography and event related potentials. Respiration is considered as a secondary biosignal that is captured together with brain activity. Validation of collected data using a stacked autoencoder is emphasized as an important step preceding data analysis.

Statistic of Quasi?Periodical Signal with Random Period ? First Application on Vocal Cords Oscillation

KROUPA, L., VÁVRA, F., NOVÝ, P. Statistic of Quasi?Periodical Signal with Random Period ? First Application on Vocal Cords Oscillation. In 16th CONFERENCE ON APPLIMAT MATHEMATICS APLIMAT 2017 PROCEEDINGS. Bratislava: Vydavateľstvo Spektrum STU, Bratislava, 2017. s. 905-911. ISBN: 978-80-227-4650-2
Abstract PDF BibTeX

This paper will introduce problem of statistics of quasi-periodic signal in relation to detection of the vocal cords pathology from audio recording. Distribution function of period lengths and its relation to distribution function of immediate frequencies is defined and application on vocal cord diagnostic by classification of periods and frequencies to common (normal) and anomalous is devised.

EEGbase - portal for management of electrophysiological experiments

MOUČEK, R., JEŽEK, P., KRAUZ, J., ŠTĚBETÁK, J., PROKOP, T., RINKES, J., BYDŽOVSKÝ, M., BRŮHA, P. EEGbase - portal for management of electrophysiological experiments. 2015.
Abstract PDF BibTeX

EEGbase is a web portal for long-term storage, annotation, management and sharing of data and metadata from electrophysiological experiments. It is an essential upgrade of previous research prototype and is intended for further commercialization. After free registration the portal allows users to work in a user-defined groups. It uses standard terminology for domain description. However, the template system allows the definition of custom metadata for each experimental scenario. Experiments carried out according to the same or similar experimental scenarios and granted under the same license can be grouped into packages of experiments. Users can assign licenses and sales prices to their experiments and packages of experiments and then provide them to other entities. The portal was developed within the project Pre-seed CZ.1.05/3.1.00/14.0298 Technological verification of the results of research and development I. The project repository is available at https://github.com/INCF/eeg-database. The portal is available at http://eegdatabase.kiv.zcu.cz/. It currently offers more than 700 experiments.

On-Line Blood Glucose Level Calculation

KOUTNÝ, T., KRČMA, M., KOHOUT, J., JEŽEK, P., VARNUŠKOVÁ, J., VČELÁK, P., STRNÁDEK, J. On-Line Blood Glucose Level Calculation. Procedia Computer Science, 2016, roč. 2016, č. 98, s. 228-235. ISSN: 1877-0509
Abstract PDF BibTeX

Diabetes is a silent disease. It is the 8th most common cause of death that does not hurt until it is too late and the disease has developed. Technology plays a vital role in managing diabetes and educating patients about importance of the treatment. The patient must be able to manage his blood glucose level. However, blood glucose level is measured sporadically as it causes important discomfort to the patient. Measuring glucose level in subcutaneous tissue is minimally invasive technique and thus considerably comfortable, but this level may be different from blood glucose level. We implemented a recently proposed method of blood glucose level calculation from the continuously measured subcutaneous tissue glucose level. Then, we developed a web portal that makes this method accessible to any doctor?s office and any diabetic patient. To the best of our knowledge, we are the very first web portal that does this. In this paper, we describe the portal.
