Mental stress majorly influences the development of various illnesses, like heart attack and stroke. Additionally, it is one of the elements that might lead to the onset of psychiatric conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression. Thus, quantification of stress is important...

Background: The relative content and loading of collagen and elastin in the arterial wall determine in vivo longitudinal pre-stretch. Assessment of arterial distensibility at varying longitudinal pre-stretch could improve characterisation of arterial collagen-elastin matrix properties. We introduce a...

Many physiological indexes and algorithms based on pulse wave analysis have been suggested in order to better understand the physiology of arterial hemodynamics (e.g. pulse wave velocity, transfer functions for central blood pressure derivation). Because these tools are most often computed from hemodynamic...

Several sub-disciplines of engineering are driven by the researchers’ aim of providing positive change to the society through their engineering.
