“…Indeed, we have shown that detecting PAC/PVC can lead to significant false positive reduction during AF detection [ 40 ]. Other recent published reports [ 14 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ] have largely focused on AF without accounting for PAC/PVC and consequently their accuracy of AF detection was suboptimal.…”

We developed an algorithm to detect premature atrial contraction (PAC) and premature ventricular contraction (PVC) using photoplethysmographic (PPG) data acquired from a smartwatch. Our PAC/PVC detection algorithm is composed of a sequence of algorithms that are combined to discriminate various arrhythmias. A novel vector resemblance method is used to enhance the PAC/PVC detection results of the Poincaré plot method. The new PAC/PVC detection algorithm with our automated motion and noise artifact detection approach yielded a sensitivity of 86% for atrial fibrillation (AF) subjects while the overall sensitivity was 67% when normal sinus rhythm (NSR) subjects were also included. The specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy values for the combined data consisting of both NSR and AF subjects were 97%, 81%, 94% and 92%, respectively, for PAC/PVC detection combined with our automated motion and noise artifact detection approach. Moreover, when AF detection was compared with and without PAC/PVC, the sensitivity and specificity increased from 94.55% to 98.18% and from 95.75% to 97.90%, respectively. For additional independent testing data, we used two datasets: a smartwatch PPG dataset that was collected in our ongoing clinical study, and a pulse oximetry PPG dataset from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III database. The PAC/PVC classification results of the independent testing on these two other datasets are all above 92% for sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy. The proposed combined approach to detect PAC and PVC can ultimately lead to better accuracy in AF detection. This is one of the first studies involving detection of PAC and PVC using PPG recordings from a smartwatch. The proposed method can potentially be of clinical importance as this enhanced capability can lead to fewer false positive detections of AF, especially for those NSR subjects with frequent episodes of PAC/PVC.

“…49,50,58,60,64,74 Some of the works followed a two-step approach: first, to identify motion artifacts by using accelerometer data, or by performing PPG signal quality assessment; and second, to perform AF detections with only good quality signals. 51,75 This often implies loss, and in some cases, a huge part of the signals acquired. One study shows that almost 40% of collected PPG signals were reported unreliable.…”

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a cardiac rhythm disorder associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is the leading risk factor for cardioembolic stroke and its early detection is crucial in both primary and secondary stroke prevention. Continuous monitoring of cardiac rhythm is today possible thanks to consumer-grade wearable devices, enabling transformative diagnostic and patient management tools. Such monitoring is possible using low-cost easy-to-implement optical sensors that today equip the majority of wearables. These sensors record blood volume variations-a technology known as photoplethysmography (PPG)-from which the heart rate and other physiological parameters can be extracted to inform about user activity, fitness, sleep, and health. Recently, new wearable devices were introduced as being capable of AF detection, evidenced by large prospective trials in some cases. Such devices would allow for early screening of AF and initiation of therapy to prevent stroke. This review is a summary of a body of work on AF detection using PPG. A thorough account of the signal processing, machine learning, and deep learning approaches used in these studies is presented, followed by a discussion of their limitations and challenges towards clinical applications.npj Digital Medicine (2020) 3:3 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41746-019-0207-9 PHOTOPLETHYSMOGRAPHY PPG signal PPG waveform is generated during a cardiac cycle and typically measured at a peripheral site. Therefore, it is essentially a pulse pressure waveform that originates from the heart contraction and propagates through the vascular tree. As blood flow is controlled

“…This method requires heavy data processing efforts. In [13] and [14] authors presented an integrated convolution and recurrent neural network architecture to capture the temporal relationships from raw time series data for mobile sensing and wearable devices, respectively. A comprehensive comparison of benchmark methods with new frameworks for classification of time series data by deep neural networks is presented in [10].…”

Intelligent fault detection by sensor data can ensure the reliability and availability of critical infrastructures. Switches and crossings (S&C) are one of the most important assets of railway networks. They divert trains in different directions by shifting the position of switch rail by point operating equipment (POE). The sensors record the electrical current drawn by the motor in POE. The extraction of features from time-series sensor data enables the detection of faults in POE. This paper proposes a deep learning model to detect faults in railway POE without the need for preprocessing the raw time-series data. It is based on 1-D convolution neural network. The architecture of the proposed deep learning network consists of three types of layers. The first layer is called the local convolution layer. It consists of three 1-D convolution layer to extract local temporal features from three non-overlapping segments of time-series data of different operating phases of POE. The second layer is fully-connected convolution layer. It extracts global temporal features. And the last layer is the output layer, it provides the binary output of fault or fault free for a given sensor data. The result shows that this framework can classify fault with 95.60% accuracy.
