Speech signals of individuals contain informationrelated to their physical, mental as well as emotionalhealth. A first step in clinical diagnosis is to measure vitalsigns, which provide an indication of vital body functions.The four vital signs - heart rate, blood pressure, body temperatureand respiratory rate are useful in assessing the healthof an individual and early diagnosis of deteriorating healthconditions. The objective of this work is to measure heartrate of individuals based on their speech signal using signalprocessing and machine learning techniques.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is the rate of variability between each heartbeat with respect to time. It is used to analyse the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), a control system used to modulate the body's unconscious action such as cardiac function, respiration, digestion, blood pressure, urination, and dilation/constriction of the pupil. This review article presents a summary and analysis of various research works that analyzed HRV associated with morbidity, pain, drowsiness, stress and exercise through signal processing and machine learning methods. The points of emphasis with regards to HRV research as well as the gaps associated with processes which can be improved to enhance the quality of the research have been discussed meticulously. Restricting the physiological signals to Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electrodermal activity (EDA), photoplethysmography (PPG), and respiration (RESP) analysis resulted in 25 articles which examined the cause and effect of increased/reduced HRV. Reduced HRV was generally associated with increased morbidity and stress. High HRV normally indicated good health, and in some instances, it could signify clinical events of interest such as drowsiness. Effective analysis of HRV during ambulatory and motion situations such as exercise, video gaming, and driving could have a significant impact toward improving social well-being. Detection of HRV in motion is far from perfect, situations involving exercise or driving reported accuracy as high as 85% and as low as 59%. HRV detection in motion can be improved further by harnessing the advancements in machine learning techniques.

The use of machine learning techniques in predictive health care is on the rise with minimal data used for training machine-learning models to derive high accuracy predictions. In this paper, we propose such a system, which utilizes Heart Rate Variability (HRV) as features for training machine learning models. This paper further benchmarks the usefulness of HRV as features calculated from basic heart-rate data using a window shifting method. The benchmarking has been conducted using different machine-learning classifiers such as artificial neural network, decision tree, k-nearest neighbour and naive bays classifier. Empirical results using MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database shows that the proposed system can be used for highly efficient predictability of abnormality in heartbeat data series.


Recent research in computational engineering have evidenced the design and development numerous intelligent models to analyze medical data and derive inferences related to early diagnosis and prediction of disease severity. In this context, prediction and diagnosis of fatal neurodegenerative diseases that comes under the class of dementia from medical image data is considered as the challenging area of research for many researchers. Recently Alzheimer’s disease is considered as major category of dementia that affects major population. Despite of the development of numerous machine learning models for early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, it is observed that there is a lot more scope of research. Addressing the same, this article presents a systematic literature review of machine learning techniques developed for early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore this article includes major categories of machine learning algorithms that include artificial neural networks, Support vector machines and Deep learning based ensemble models that helps the budding researchers to explore the scope of research in predicting Alzheimer’s disease. Implementation results depict the comparative analysis of state of art machine learning mechanisms.
