Abstract: This study introduces a non-contact monitoring system employing a micro-sensor and deep learning methodologies for precise vital sign measurements. Existing detection techniques in healthcare facilities often necessitate direct contact, which is expensive and restricts patient movement. The suggested system mitigates these constraints through a non-invasive strategy. The system integrates a Ballistocardiogram (BCG) monitor, a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), a phase shifter, and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The BCG signal is transformed into an electrical signal, processed via a low-pass filter and PID controller.
The study employs deep learning techniques to enhance vital sign measurement precision, specifically Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. LSTM, a recurrent neural network (RNN) variant, effectively captures long-term dependencies in time-series data. The proposed model merges LSTM with Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), an adaptive signal processing technique, to extract valuable features from raw signals. To tackle mode mixing in EMD, an enhanced algorithm, Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN), is utilized.
The model's performance is assessed using a BCG signal dataset from 20 volunteers and compared with reference models such as Support Vector Regression (SVR), Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), and traditional EMD and EEMD algorithms. Experimental results indicate that the proposed model surpasses reference models in curve fitting to the ground truth and heart rate variability (HRV) measurement accuracy.
The non-contact monitoring system offers a viable alternative to traditional contact-based methods. Integrating micro-bend fiber sensors, the MZI-based BCG monitor, and deep learning techniques improves vital sign measurement accuracy, reduces resource costs, and minimizes patient discomfort. The proposed model has considerable potential for various medical diagnostic applications and interdisciplinary collaboration with the electroencephalography (EEG) and human ergonomics fields.
