• Abstract: Approximately 10% of newborns need some assistance to start breathing and 5\% proper ventilation. It is crucial that interventions are initiated as soon as possible after birth. Accurate documentation of Time of Birth (ToB) is thereby essential for documenting and improving newborn resuscitation performance. However, current clinical practices rely on manual recording of ToB, typically with minute precision. In this study, we present an AI-driven, video-based system for automated ToB detection using thermal imaging, designed to preserve the privacy of healthcare providers and mothers by avoiding the use of identifiable visual data. Our approach achieves 91.4% precision and 97.4% recall in detecting ToB within thermal video clips during performance evaluation. Additionally, our system successfully identifies ToB in 96% of test cases with an absolute median deviation of 1 second compared to manual annotations. This method offers a reliable solution for improving ToB documentation and enhancing newborn resuscitation outcomes.

  This research introduces an innovative method for the early screening of cardiorespiratory diseases based on an acquisition protocol. We collected, in a clinical setting, a dataset featuring recordings of breathing kinematics obtained by accelerometer and gyroscope readings from five distinct body regions. We propose an end-to-end deep learning pipeline for early cardiorespiratory disease screening, incorporating a preprocessing step segmenting the data into individual breathing cycles.
