Vital Signs Monitoring using Depth Cameras

Cardiovascular disease is responsible for an estimated 17.9 million deaths each year, making it the leading cause of death worldwide. Continuous heart health monitoring way is the best preventative for heart failure. However, standard monitoring devices, including ECG and PPG, require direct physical contact, which can be difficult for certain patient...

Ex-vivo Production of Regulatory B-Cells for Use in Auto-immune Diseases

Abstract: Regulatory B-cells (Breg) play an important role in reducing autoimmunity and reduced levels of these cells are implicated in etiology of several auto-inflammatory diseases. Despite their impact in many diseases, their physiological inducers are unknown. Given that Bregs are a very rare B-cell, identifying factors that promote their development...
