title: Remote medical monitoring decision support system and user interface usability

abstract:
User requirements were gathered from home care clinicians to understand what parameters are critical in monitoring the health of home care clients. Once solicited, the most appropriate graphical user interface (GUI) features were determined in order to conduct a usability test and qualitative analysis of two GUI prototypes. A few key findings include the need to display data trends, client personal targets and alerts for emergent situations.
Visual data mining combines data visualization and data mining. Therefore, in order to populate the GUI with home care clients' data and support decision making, data mining was also explored. Two data mining techniques, a segmentation algorithm and a feed-forward neural network, were evaluated for their ability to detect trends from simulated data. Results indicate that the segmentation algorithm is more accurate with the given data sets but the network is more robust with varying levels of noise.

title: Evalution of piano-related injuries using infrared imaging

abstract: Playing the piano is a repetitive task that involves the use of the hands and the arms. Pain related to piano-playing is the result of extending the tissues and ligaments of the hands and arms beyond their mechanical tolerance. Infrared imaging records the skin temperature and produces a thermal map of the imaged body part; small variations in the skin temperature could be the sign of inflammation or stress on the tissues. In this thesis we correlated heat to pain related to piano playing; we used statistical analysis to examine the difference in heat temperature between pianists with pain related to piano-playing and pianists without pain related to piano-playing. We found that there is a statistically significant difference in hand temperature between the two populations. In addition, pianists with pain have higher hand temperatures relative to their arms. These findings may lead to earlier detection and easier diagnosis of repetitive stress injuries.

title: Monitoring the propagation of lung sounds using electronic stethoscope arrays

abstract: This thesis presents the design and prototype testing of a novel medical instrument designed to measure changes in to acoustic transmission properties of lung tissue. Since tissue acoustic transmission is largely determined by the distribution of lung fluid and lung tissue density, this instrument has potential applications for monitoring and diagnosis of patients with such obstructive lung diseases which are associated with accumulation of lung fluid and collapse of lung tissue. The apparatus consists of an array of 4 electronic stethoscopes linked together via a fully adjustable harness. A White Gaussian Noise (WGN) input sound is injected into the mouth via a modified speaker and measured on the surface of the chest using the array of stethoscopes. Data were analysed using the Normalized Least Mean Squares (NLMS) adaptive filtering algorithm to develop a transfer function based on the propagation characteristics of the injected signal. This transfer function is then analysed to determine the frequency response and the propagation delay at each stethoscope. The system was calibrated to account for delays in the signal acquisition equipment and verified using a chest phantom model. System non-linearites were analysed and determined to be sufficiently small to justify the linear model. Phantom test results show that as the volume of fluid in the lungs increases, the sound propagation delay decreases. In-vivo results were measured on healthy volunteers and show comparable results to the lung phantom with no volume of water injected and that the instrument can detect sound propagation delay variations with changes in posture. Based on these results, this instrument is able to measure parameters of the lungs including propagation delay and frequency/impulse responses, which show useful correspondence to known physiological changes.

title: Using thermal imaging to promote independent living

abstract:
The elderly segment of the population is experiencing rapid growth worldwide leading to increased demands on the health care system. One solution is to develop novel technologies to promote independent living, where users are able to continue to live safely in their own home rather than entering costly institutional care facilities. In North America, the stove is one of the most frequent causes of fire accidents in the home. Many of these fire accidents are caused by human error or forgetfulness, a problem which may be more serious with advanced age. An automated stove top monitoring system could significantly increase kitchen safety. In this thesis, a stove top monitoring system is developed that uses a thermal camera to detect dangerous situations and behaviours, and alert the user before a fire accident occurs. Monitoring systems such as the one developed here will serve to promote independent living among the elderly leading to increased quality of life and decreased health care costs.
The stove top monitoring systems consists of four subsystems: the burner status (active/inactive) detection system, the burner temperature detection system, the pot presence/absence detection system, and the human activity detection system. Twenty nine experiments were conducted using three different types of stove tops: 2-burner electrical coil, 4-burner electric ceramic top, and 5-burner natural gas. Each subsystem was thoroughly tested and robust performance was achieved in all cases. Lastly, data fusion algorithms were developed to combine the data gathered by the four subsystems, and to alert the user or caregiver when a dangerous situation occurs.
A thermal camera is used in this thesis to quantify burner temperature. Although the problem could be simplified by also using a natural light camera, particularly to detect human activity, we restrict ourselves to using only a thermal imaging camera with a fixed narrow field of view to address privacy concerns and encourage adoption by the elderly population. Furthermore, no modifications to the stove top are required allowing this system to be retrofit on any stove top when deemed necessary by a caregiver, user, or their family.

title: Parient bed transfer analysis using pressure sensor arrays

abstract:
Monitoring and analyzing sit-to-stand movements performed by an older person when rising from their bed could be used as a measure of health and mobility. Pressure patterns for four adult test groups were collected using a pressure sensitive mat technology and analyzed using image processing and signal processing techniques.
Pressure images were generated from the raw sensor data and analyzed using four region of interest algorithms. The hip and hand regions were successfully extracted and the best results were obtained using the binary cluster detection algorithm. The sensor data was summed to create a sit-to-stand time pressure signal and an automated algorithm was proposed to segment the signal into three phases. The results extracted individual phase times as well as total sit-to-stand times. The algorithm performance was verified using video analysis data.
The timing results were used to evaluate the health and mobility of different participant groups and could be used to monitor changes in sit-to-stand movements performed by occupants living in smart homes.

title: Stereoscopic imaging for obstacle detection onboard low-flying unmanned aerial vehicles

abstract: Obstacle detection for low-flying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) poses unique engineering challenges in terms of real-time implementation as well as system accuracy. Of all the available techniques for carrying out this task, optical sensors stand out as an inexpensive, lightweight and reliable solution. Image processing methods are used to analyze the images captured by the UAV camera(s) and to generate information pertaining to the location and motion of the obstacles in the field of view. These methods, however, can be computationally intensive and must be optimized if they are to be implemented in a moving vehicle. Additionally, the measurement of distance usually requires a high level of calibration before the results are useful. This thesis proposes a calibration method rooted in image data analysis and shows how this can be used to accurately predict the distance to obstacles. An algorithm tailored specifically to low-flying UAVs (Sparse Edge Reconstruction) is presented. Both the calibration method and the algorithm were used to analyze video gathered on a low-altitude test flight.

title: Using theorethical perspectives to examine the adoption of mobile Internet and wireless payments services

abstract: The objective of this research is to examine 17 cases of the adoption of mobile Internet and wireless payments services using the constructs of three theoretical perspectives: Christensen’s disruptive innovation, Roger’s diffusion of innovation, and Chesbrough’s business model for open innovation. Using a method that involved the active participation of an industry partner, insights about the adoption of the mobile Internet and wireless payments were generated, a set of variables that can be used to predict the outcomes of similar future services were identified, and propositions that can be used to examine the adoption of wireless transactions were developed. This research contributes a method that incorporates the synthesis of insights from multiple theoretical perspectives with the involvement of an industry partner.
