Abstract

Deep learning strategies combined with wearable sensors have advanced the capabilities of monitoring systems in biomedical applications, offering precise and efficient solutions for diagnosing and managing diseases. However, applying these systems faces several challenges. One of the challenges is the diminishing performance when these systems encounter new data with more complex patterns than those seen before. Another challenge is the limited availability of labeled data, on which deep learning-based systems depend highly. Additionally, obtaining high-quality labeled data to train deep learning models is often expensive, requiring significant time and resources. Another significant challenge is ensuring the practicality, accessibility, and convenience of the monitoring systems. This dissertation proposes an innovative deep learning framework to overcome these challenges and improve system generalization performance in classification and regression tasks, specifically monitoring patients with neurological disorders like Parkinson’s.
