Wearable Seismocardiography

2007 29th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2007
Seismocardiogram (SCG) is the recording of body vibrations induced by the heart beat. SCG contains information on cardiac mechanics, in particular heart sounds and cardiac output. In this paper we present a new wearable device for SCG recordings during long term monitorings, and the results of a validation test in 4 subjects. The system is based on the

Detection of atrial fibrillation with seismocardiography

2016 38th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2016
In this paper we study the feasibility of seismocardiography (SCG) for the detection of Atrial Fibrillation (AF). In this preclinical study, data acquired from one patient having paroxysmal AF (no other heart diseases) is used to introduce specific changes in SCG signal due to AF.

Seismocardiography: Past, present and future

2013 35th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2013
This paper presents an overview of seismocardiography (SCG) as a noninvasive cardiology method. The paper represents a brief historical background to the SCG, an assessment of the technology at present, and an evaluation of the challenges we must address.

Myocardial contractility: A seismocardiography approach

2012 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2012
Features are extracted from seismocardiogram data to correlate with two indexes of myocardial contractility: dP/dt(max) (maximum first derivative of left ventricular pressure) and stroke volume. In the first study on three pigs, it is shown that the time period between the R peak of the ECG and the first peak of the SCG (R-AO period or pre-ejection ...

Seismocardiography-Based Detection of Cardiac Quiescence

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2015
Cardiac-computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a minimally invasive imaging technology for characterizing coronary arteries. A fundamental limitation of CTA imaging is cardiac movement, which can cause artifacts and reduce the quality of the obtained images.

Heart Rate and Respiratory Rate Monitoring Using Seismocardiography

2021 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), 2021
Vital signs monitoring is critical for healthcare. Currently, at-home vital signs monitoring is obstructed by the complicated device, unaffordable cost, and inconvenience. In this study, we develop a simultaneous heart rate and respiratory rate monitoring technique that requires only one tri-axial accelerometer placing on the sternum.

Timing detection and seismocardiography waveform extraction

2012 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2012
Described herein is a new and robust method to extract heart-beat timing from seismocardiogram (SCG). This timing indicates the precise time location of each heart beat and therefore directly conveys heart rate information. Knowledge of the time location of each occurrence of the underlying SCG waveform allows us to obtain a clean SCG waveform estimate
