Optimization of activity-driven event detection for long-term ambulatory urodynamics
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is a debilitating condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide, greatly diminishing their quality of life. The use of wireless, catheter-free implantable devices for long-term ambulatory bladder monitoring, combined with a single-sensor system capable of detecting various bladder events, has the potential to significantly enhance the diagnosis and treatment of LUTD. However, these systems produce large amounts of bladder data that may contain physiological noise in the pressure signals caused by motion artifacts and sudden movements, such as coughing or laughing, potentially leading to false positives during bladder event classification and inaccurate diagnosis/treatment. Integration of activity recognition (AR) can improve classification accuracy, provide context regarding patient activity, and detect motion artifacts by identifying contractions that may result from patient movement. This work investigates the utility of including data from inertial measurement units (IMUs) in the classification pipeline, and considers various digital signal processing (DSP) and machine learning (ML) techniques for optimization and activity classification. In a case study, we analyze simultaneous bladder pressure and IMU data collected from an ambulating female Yucatan minipig. We identified 10 important, yet relatively inexpensive to compute signal features, with which we achieve an average 91.5% activity classification accuracy. Moreover, when classified activities are included in the bladder event analysis pipeline, we observe an improvement in classification accuracy, from 81% to 89.0%. These results suggest that certain IMU features can improve bladder event classification accuracy with low computational overhead. Clinical Relevance : This work establishes that activity recognition may be used in conjunction with single-channel bladder event detection systems to distinguish between contractions and motion artifacts for reducing the incorrect classification of bladder events. This is relevant for emerging sensors that measure intravesical pressure alone or for data analysis of bladder pressure in ambulatory subjects that contain significant abdominal pressure artifacts.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
