Photoplethysmogram peaks detection based on moving window integration and threshold for heart rate calculation on android smartphone

Abstract: We present a photoplethysmogram peaks detection and heart rate calculation on android smartphone. Photoplethysmogram signal is obtained and extracted from a video stream of fingertip that is taken from smartphone camera. Then, photoplethysmogram peak is detected based on moving window integration and threshold. The heart rate value is calculated from the detected peak. We … Read more

Detecting atrial fibrillation using statistical features of electrocardiographic interbeat interval

This article presents a technique for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF). The technique employs electrocardiographic interbeat interval (IBI) alteration. The IBI is the time interval between individual beats of electrocardiogram. Two statistical, mean and standard deviation of IBI are examined. For the classification a support vector machine (SVM) with RBF function is applied. We have examined … Read more

Identification of fetal QRS with base of abdominal electrocardiogram using backpropagation artifical neural network

A method for fetal QRS identification (FECG) originating from a non-invasive recording of abdominal electrocardiogram (AECG) is conducted. The method utilizes a backpropagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN). An abdominal electrocardiogram recording is extracted to obtain an electrocardiographic QRS. The method is tested using the clinical dataset of Abdominal and Direct Fetal Electrocardiogram Database (adfecgdb) from … Read more
