PhonoSys: Mobile Phonocardiography Diagnostic System for Newborns
Heart murmurs have been found to be a life threatening condition for the newborns who are born with cardiac abnormalities. The first sign of pathological changes of heart valves appears in phonocardiogram which contains very useful information about ...

Algorithm for heart rate extraction in a novel wearable acoustic sensor. [PDF]
Phonocardiography is a widely used method of listening to the heart sounds and indicating the presence of cardiac abnormalities. Each heart cycle consists of two major sounds - S1 and S2 - that can be used to determine the heart rate.

Learning technology in health professions education: Realising an (un)imagined future
Abstract Context Technology is being introduced, used and studied in almost all areas of health professions education (HPE), often with a claim of making HPE better in one way or another. However, it remains unclear if technology has driven real change in HPE.

A COMPARISON OF METHODS USING STRAIN GAUGES TO MONITOR PHYSIOLOGICAL MOVEMENTS ON A HOSPITAL BED [PDF]
Two methods which are suitable to monitor the small movements of the patient in a horizontal position on the bed are compared. The methods use sensors based on strain gauge bridges configured to measure the torsion deformation and sensors based on strain

Time-frequency scaling transformation of the phonocardiogram based of the matching pursuit method.
International audienceA time-frequency scaling transformation based on the matching pursuit (MP) method is developed for the phonocardiogram (PCG). The MP method decomposes a signal into a series of time-frequency atoms by using an iterative process. The

Correlation Analysis in a Pulse Wave Velocity Evaluation [PDF]
In this paper, methods for a time delay evaluation of phonocardiographic (PCG) signals are presented to estimate a pulse wave velocity (PWV) in a cardiovascular system of a human body, especially in arterial segments of an arterial tree selected.
