An AFE based embedded system for physiological computing

Khan, Md. Nazrul Islam (2019-11-01)

The present hospital-based health care system will be burdened because of the growing aging population. Aging and stress result in cardiovascular diseases that cost around seventeen million lives globally every year. To ...

Cooperative localization based on received signal strength in wireless sensor network

Zheng, Jinfu (2010-01-01)

Localization accuracy based on RSS (Received Signal Strength) is notoriously inaccurate in the application of wireless sensor networks. RSS is subject to shadowing effects, which is signal attenuation caused by stationary ...

Correlation and real time classification of physiological streams for critical care monitoring.

Thommandram, Anirudh (2013-12-01)

This thesis presents a framework for the deployment of algorithms that support the correlation and real-time classification of physiological data streams through the development of clinically meaningful alerts using a blend ...

Design of a secure privacy preserving cloud based framework for sharing electronic health data

Ilokah, Munachiso (2020-01-01)

There exists a need for sharing user health data, especially with institutes for research purposes, in a secure fashion. This is especially true in the case of a system that includes a third party storage service, such as ...

Linear regression model for continuous non-invasive blood pressure estimation for an ICU setting

Johnson, Mizpah Selvam S. (2021-11-01)

Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring in critically ill patients is crucially important for clinicians. The gold standard intra-arterial method is complicated and contraindicated. Current pulse transit time (PTT)-based ...

Machine learning classifiers for critical cardiac conditions

Gilani, Mehrin (2016-04-01)

Cardiac diseases are one of the leading causes of death in Canada. Current methods of diagnosing cardiac conditions require a manual and visual analysis of ECG and heart rate (RR interval) data. In this thesis, novel ...

Model predictive control of a thermoelectric-based heat pump.

Petryna, Stephen (2013-12-01)

Government regulations and growing concerns regarding global warming has lead to an increasing number of passenger vehicles on the roads today that are not powered by the conventional internal combustion (IC) engine. ...

Non-linear model predictive control for autonomous vehicles

Abbas, Muhammad Awais (2011-11-01)

With the advent of faster computer processors and better optimization algorithms, Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems are more readily used for real-time applications. This research focuses on the application of MPC ...

Simulation and control of a Marnoch heat engine

Naughton, Ryan (2012-04-01)

The Marnoch heat engine (MHE) is a new type of heat engine currently under development at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. The MHE can use waste or collected heat at temperatures that are currently unusable ...

STDMn+p0: a multidimensional patient oriented data mining framework for critical care research

Smith, Kathleen Patricia (2011-04-01)

In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) environment, critical care and treatment directly correlate to the multidimensional development of an infant and are influenced by attributes such as gender and gestational age ...

Test platform design and control of a bicycle-type two-wheeled autonomous vehicle

Wang, Xinqi (2011-03-01)

Bicycle dynamics and behaviors have been vastly studied through modeling and simulation. Due to the complexity, software models are often assumed subjecting to di erent nonholonomic constraints in order to simplify the ...
