However, PPG highly susceptible motion artifacts environmental noise. A validation study required investigate the accuracy devices free-living...

Background. Missing data in medical datasets poses significant challenges for developing effective AI/ML pipelines. Inaccurate imputation can lead to biased results, reduced model performance, and compromised clinical insights. Understanding how different methods affect performance is crucial ensuring accurate findings. Objective. This study systematically investigates the effects of on implications these methods. Methods. We investigate impact four missing strategies common classification...

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a non-invasive optical method to acquire various vital signs, including heart rate (HR) and variability (HRV). The PPG highly susceptible motion artifacts environmental noise. Unfortunately, such are inevitable in ubiquitous health monitoring, as the users involved activities their daily routines. Such low-quality signals negatively impact accuracy of extracted parameters, leading inaccurate decision-making. PPG-based monitoring necessitates quality assessment...

<title>Abstract</title> The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates physiological changes during pregnancy, supporting fetal development and homeostasis. Heart rate (HR) heart variability (HRV) are non-invasive ANS biomarkers; however, their circadian rhythms pregnancy remain underexplored due to the lack of continuous data collection, a gap now addressed by wearable technology. This study is first comprehensive investigation HR HRV throughout using devices in free-living environment. We...

The aim of this study was to compare subjectively and objectively measured stress during pregnancy the three months postpartum in women with previous adverse outcomes normal obstetric histories.We recruited two cohorts southwestern Finland for longitudinal study: (1) pregnant (n = 32) histories preterm births or late miscarriages January-December 2019 (2) 30) full-term October 2019-March 2020. We continuously heart rate variability (HRV) using a smartwatch from 12 15 weeks until postpartum,...

Smart rings, such as the Oura ring, might have potential in health monitoring. To be able to identify optimal devices for healthcare settings, validity studies are needed. The aim of this study was compare smart ring estimates steps and sedentary time with data from ActiGraph accelerometer a free-living context. A cross-sectional observational design used. convenience sample healthy adults (n = 42) participated wore an on non-dominant hand continuously 1 week. participants completed...

Preterm birth (PTB) remains a global health concern, impacting neonatal mortality and lifelong consequences. Traditional methods for estimating PTB rely on electronic records or biomedical signals, limited to short-term assessments in clinical settings. Recent studies have leveraged wearable technologies in-home maternal monitoring, offering continuous assessment of autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity facilitating the exploration risk. In this paper, we conduct longitudinal study assess...
