An efficient monitoring of eclamptic seizures in wireless sensors networks

Abstract

This paper presents the application of wireless sensing at C-band operating at 4.8 GHz technology (a potential Chinese 5G band). A wireless transceiver is used in the indoor environment to monitor different body motions of a woman experiencing an eclamptic seizure. The body movement shows unique wireless data which carries the wireless channel information. The results indicate that using higher features increases the accuracy from 3% to 4% for classifying data from different body motions. All of the four classifiers are compared by using six performance metrics such as accuracy, recall, precession, specificity, F-measure and Kappa. The values from these metrics indicate the better performance of SVM as compared to other three classifiers, the results indicate that the eclamptic seizures are easily differentiated from other body movements by applying the aforementioned classifiers.Index Terms-C-band, Wireless channel information (WCI), Internet of Thing (IoT), support vector machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Random Forest (RF) and K-Mean.

RF Sensing Technologies for Assisted Daily Living in Healthcare: A Comprehensive Review

“…Recently, off-the-shelf Intel 5300 network interface card has been used to record the WCI data [51] [52]. The WCI primarily leverages orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols to extract amplitude and phase information and reports a group of 30 OFDM subcarriers (30 by 1 matrix).…”

A Systematic Review of Non-Contact Sensing for Developing a Platform to Contain COVID-19

“…Wireless sensing uses the C-band (4.8 GHz) in the indoor environment to monitor body movements of women, especially pregnant women, for early detection of seizure in pre-eclamptic women, so patients can be managed promptly and the mode of delivery can be decided early. The body movement shows unique features extracted from WCSI and can easily be differentiated by using ML classifiers [ 61 ]. A bathroom has a comparatively higher probability of severe accidents than other places or rooms due to a slippery floor.…”

Privacy-Preserving Non-Wearable Occupancy Monitoring System Exploiting Wi-Fi Imaging for Next-Generation Body Centric Communication

“…Numerous researchers have introduced different RF sensing-based occupancy monitoring systems over the past few years [10][11][12][13][14][15]. In this regards, this section introduces some of the most commonly used RF sensing techniques to estimate the occupant within the area of interest, along with their advantages and limitations.…”

“…During the diffusion step, the intertwining map is used, which is written as: (1). (13) where x n , y n , and z n ∈ (0,1), 0 ≤ λ ≤ 3.999, |α| > 33.5, |β| > 37.9, |γ| > 35.7.…”
