Signal processing for telehealth
Scholarship Description
Unsupervised recording of biosignals in the home environment is becoming increasingly common. As these unsupervised recordings are often destined for automated signal analysis and parameter extraction, an algorithm to determine the signal quality is imperative. In the supervised setting this signal quality is often assured by an overseeing technician or clinician; in the unsupervised setting the onus lies with the subject to perform the measurement adequately. This project aims to design novel algorithms to verify the quality of these biosignals, and to investigate the fusion of multiple sensors to unobtrusively detect patient movement or poor signal quality during recording. The successful candidate will have a strong background in electronic, computer or biomedical engineering and a sound knowledge of some of the following areas: digital signal processing, electronics, microcontroller programming, pattern recognition, human cardiovascular physiology and electrophysiology.
