    Wearable Respiratory Rate Sensor Technology for Diagnosis of Sleep Apnea
    (IEEE, 2020) Cinel, Göktürk; Tarım, Ergün Alperay; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur
    Sleep apnea is a disease that occurs during sleep, which affects the daily life of patients due to the obstruction of the upper respiratory tract and decreases oxygen level in blood and it may even lead to patient death in the later stage. Monitoring the patients regularly has absolute importance to prevent patient disorders caused by sleep apnea. Wearable sensor technologies and patient tracking systems provide diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients, and procure better health services in medical fields. In addition to decreasing the workload of health institutions, remote patient monitoring systems can serve continuous monitoring and determine variable symptoms of the patients. In this paper, we propose a patient monitoring system, which will be used for diagnosis and monitoring of sleep apnea by tracking the respiratory rate of patients with wearable sensor technology. The respiratory rate is detected using either an accelerometer sensor to be placed on the patients' abdomen or a temperature sensor to be placed on their noses. The proposed system offers an increase in the versatility of patient monitoring systems and offers an alternative new technology in sleep apnea diagnosis.

    The Ordering of Smokers’ Toothpaste Choice Criteria With Fuzzy Model
    (Atatürk Üniversitesi, 2019) Tarım, Ergün Alperay; Kuruoğlu Kandemir, Emel; Mevsim, Vildan
    Aim: There are some measures that smokers can cease or prevent damage caused by smoking. They may also choose some product features that may be more helpful to them like toothpaste selection etc. The preferences of smokers vary because of the variety of toothpaste in the market and a high number of products. The aim of this study is to determine the importance of toothpaste selection criteria in order to determine the decision and toothpaste selection. Material and method: Fuzzy DEMATEL model is used effectively in decision making problems. This model, which can rank the decision criteria in order of importance even for a single individual, is a more effective and important model in ordering the decision criteria of a large number of individuals. In this study, fuzzy DEMATEL model was used to determine the importance of toothpaste selection criteria. In this study, 7 toothpaste selection criteria were determined by data obtained by taking user and expert opinions. After the determination of criteria, the information form was applied to the model to show the criterion importance preferences of smokers. Results: According to the preferences of smokers, the selection criteria of toothpaste were placed in the order with the fuzzy DEMATEL model. The most important criteria is toothpaste package appearance, while the least of the 7 criteria is determined as the criteria that Sensation of Person. Conclusion: As a result, the toothpaste properties that the smokers would prefer, ie the toothpaste selection criteria are listed in importance. In other words, it is given the ranking of preference criteria for smokers when choosing toothpaste.
