Wearable Patient Home Monitoring Based on ECG and ACC Sensors

Abstract

Advanced developments in existing information technologies are extending the range of treatment and health services available at patient’s home. This paper proposes a mobile monitoring system that integrates wearable ECG and ACC mobile sensors. We present an algorithm determining the correlation between the heart rate and movements based on automatic analysis of ACC and ECG signals. The system was tested on seven healthy adults who were asked to perform normal daily activity. As a result, we examined general physical state during normal daily activities of the subject, based on the analysis of sensor signals.
