Non-Invasive Health Systems Based on Advanced Biomedical Signal and Image Processing

This book contains up-to-date noninvasive monitoring and diagnosing systems closely developed by a set of scientists, engineers, and physicians. The chapters are the results of different biomedical projects and theoretical studies that were coupled by simulations and real-world data.

Non-Invasive Health Systems based on Advanced Biomedical Signal and Image Processing provides a multifaceted view of various biomedical and clinical approaches to health monitoring systems. The authors introduce advanced signal- and image-processing techniques as well as other noninvasive monitoring and diagnostic systems such as inertial sensors in wearable devices and novel algorithm-based hybrid learning systems for biosignal processing. The book includes a discussion of designing electronic circuits and systems for biomedical applications and analyzes several issues related to real-world data and how they relate to health technology including ECG signal monitoring and processing in the operating room. The authors also include detailed discussions of different systems for monitoring various conditions and diseases including sleep apnea, skin cancer, deep vein thrombosis, and prosthesis controls.

This book is intended for a wide range of readers including scientists, researchers, physicians, and electronics and biomedical engineers. It will cover the gap between theory and real life applications.
