Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Healthcare data processing refers to the recording, storage, analysis and management of physiological data related to the healthcare industry. In the COVID-19 pandemic, AI-assisted diagnostics played an important role in the early detection of different pathologies and fine-grained classification of patients. The electronic medical records (EHRs) and AI algorithms are reshaping modern diagnostics, making precise medicine and data-driven healthcare in the big data era a reality. The healthcare data are recorded from the patients using biomedical signal recording instruments and medical imaging modalities, as well as wearable sensors. The automated analysis of healthcare data using AI algorithms is important for the diagnosis of various diseases. This Special Issue will help to demonstrate the applications of machine learning and deep learning for different healthcare data processing. This Special Issue welcomes high-quality original research papers and review papers on the applications of machine learning and deep learning methods for healthcare data analysis. We expect submissions of articles related but not limited to the following topics:

  1. Machine learning coupled with signal processing for electrocardiogram (ECG) data processing;
  2. Plethysmogram (PPG) data processing using machine learning coupled with signal processing;
  3. Electroencephalogram (EEG) data processing using signal processing and machine learning;
  4. Deep learning for EEG, ECG and PPG data processing;
  5. Machine learning and deep learning for medical image processing;
  6. Multimodal physiological data analysis using machine and deep learning techniques;
  7. Data-driven healthcare systems, meta-learning and multi-task learning for healthcare data analysis;
  8. Federated learning in healthcare data processing;
  9. Internet of Medical Things and Biomedical Embedded systems.

Abstract
Respiratory rate (RR) is a critical vital sign that can provide valuable insights into various medical conditions, including pneumonia. Unfortunately, manual RR counting is often unreliable and discontinuous. Current RR estimation algorithms either lack the necessary accuracy or demand extensive window sizes. In [...] Read more.
Respiratory rate (RR) is a critical vital sign that can provide valuable insights into various medical conditions, including pneumonia. Unfortunately, manual RR counting is often unreliable and discontinuous. Current RR estimation algorithms either lack the necessary accuracy or demand extensive window sizes. In response to these challenges, this study introduces a novel method for continuously estimating RR from photoplethysmogram (PPG) with a reduced window size and lower processing requirements. To evaluate and compare classical and deep learning algorithms, this study leverages the BIDMC and CapnoBase datasets, employing the Respiratory Rate Estimation (RRest) toolbox. The optimal classical techniques combination on the BIDMC datasets achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.9 breaths/min. Additionally, the developed neural network model utilises convolutional and long short-term memory layers to estimate RR effectively. The best-performing model, with a 50% train–test split and a window size of 7 s, achieves an MAE of 2 breaths/min. Furthermore, compared to other deep learning algorithms with window sizes of 16, 32, and 64 s, this study’s model demonstrates superior performance with a smaller window size. The study suggests that further research into more precise signal processing techniques may enhance RR estimation from PPG signals. Full article
