Abstract

This paper focuses on developing an adaptive heart rate monitoring algorithm for wrist-based rehabilitation systems. Due to the characteristics of the wrist, the heartbeat measurements are unstable. To improve the preprocessing efficiency and perform measurement calibration, a novel joint algorithm incorporating automatic multiscale-based peak detection and fuzzy logic control (AMPD-Fuzzy) is proposed. The monitoring approach consists of two phases: (1) Preprocessing and (2) Detection and Calibration. Phase 1 explores the parameter settings, threshold, and decision rules. Phase 2 applies fuzzy logic control and the Laplacian model to provide signal reshaping. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively achieve heart rate monitoring for wearable healthcare devices.

Highlights

  • The use of photoplethysmography (PPG)-based systems is widespread in clinical applications of heart rate (HR) tracking

  • The reason for its popularity is partly due to its remarkable properties such as being inexpensive, highly portable, and very convenient to wear by its users

  • This paper proposes a new algorithm, the automatic multiscale-based peak detection (AMPD)-Fuzzy algorithm, to monitor heart rate for wearable healthcare devices

Summary

Introduction

The use of photoplethysmography (PPG)-based systems is widespread in clinical applications of heart rate (HR) tracking. The features of wristband-type placement may be utilized to design more convenient and comfortable healthcare systems. Following this concept, we developed a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) system, evolving from a biosensor module-based approach (Figure 1 (left)) [3] to an arm bag-based way (Figure 1 (right)) [4] to a wrist-based wearable system (Figure 1 (bottom)). This section introduces background information and related work, including the wristband-type PPG-based devices, the sources of measurement inaccuracy, the learning models, and the time-frequency analysis. The wristband-type PPG is considered the most popular and preferred device, these devices have their own limitations [16] related to signal quality. This section introduces the background information, including on the AMPD and Bayesian learning (BL) approaches
