Chau Nguyen Survey of Heart Monitoring and Sleep Monitoring Problems
Heart Monitoring • Monitoring of heart signals ( ECG, heart rate, heart rate variability HRV, RR, P, QRS duration…etc) • Purpose: early heart disease warning, post-heart operation rehabilitation, sleep wake classification, activity recognition or any other applications that make use of the signals of the heart
Portable, Wearable Heart Monitor • Why portable? • Limited contact time in the doctor office • Continuous, long term monitoring provides better evaluation • High cost involved in visiting a clinic
Alive Technologies Heart Monitor • Extremely portable: small size and long battery life (~48hours) • Bluetooth enabled • 3-axis accelerometer included • Compatible with a wide variety of PC and smart-phone platforms
Other heart monitors • Vivometrics (LifeShirt) • Equivital (UK) • Bodymedia • These do not integrate with PDAs
N0n-commercial systems • LiveNet from MIT Wearable Computing Group (Michael Sung, Alex Pentland) • Harvard’s Code Blue Project • Disadvantages of these platforms: reliance on special PDAs running Linux or intricate sensors motes developed in-house
Heart monitoring Applications • Cardiac Monitoring - University of Technology, Sydney (Remote Monitoring of Cardiac Patients after a Heart Attack or a Coronary Bypass Surgery) • Pediatric Obesity study - University of Southern California (Multimodal Sensing for Pediatric Obesity Applications)(Statistical Signal Processing) • Detecting Cardiovascular Disease - University of Pittsburgh (Detecting Cardiovascular Diseases via Real-Time Electrocardiogram Processing on a Smartphone) (Cardiac arrhythmia)
Cardiac Monitoring - University of Technology, Sydney • a personalised rehabilitation application using a smart phone (PDA) and wireless (bio) sensors. • Instructs and motivates patients to follow their exercise programme and keeps track of their progress. • monitors the relevant biosignals and provides immediate feedback to the patient. • home based cardiac rehabilitation as a viable alternative to rehabilitation programmes conducted at a hospital • http://www.personalhealthmonitor.net/docs/PETRA2009.pdf
Pediatric Obesity study - University of Southern California • a wireless body area network comprised of heterogeneous sensors for wearable health monitoring applications. • pediatric obesity • activity detection based on heart rate monitor and accelerometer data • Statistical analysis of experimental data for different key states (lying down, sitting, standing, walking and running • 85-95% accuracy http://sensorlab.cs.dartmouth.edu/urbansensing/papers/annavaram_urbansense08.pdf
Detecting Cardiovascular Disease - University of Pittsburgh • Cardiac arrhythmia = irregular rhythmic beating of the heart; very common; may indicate an increased risk of stroke or sudden cardiac death • arrhythmias may not be detected during normal patient hospital visits • http://www.engr.pitt.edu/act/bic2009/doc/BiC-Proceedings.pdf#page=20
Other Applications • Fitness training -University of Udine, Italy (A context-aware and user-adaptive wearable system for fitness training) • Video game -University of Udine, Italy (Adaptation of Graphics and Gameplay in Fitness Games by Exploiting Motion and Physiological Sensors) • Biometric Identification
Heart Monitoring applied to Sleep Monitoring • Sleep-Wake identification • Why sleep monitoring? Deteriorating sleep-wake circadian cycle has been linked to onsets of heart disease • Why ECG? Non-invasive and easier to obtain as compared to Polysomnography which has traditionally been used in sleep study research. More accurate than actigraph.
Actigraph • a relatively non-invasive method of monitoring human rest/activity cycles. • a small actigraph unit, also called an actimetry sensor, is worn by a patient to measure gross motor activity. • motor activity often under test is that of the wrist, measured by an accelerometer in a watch-like package.
ECG – Existing Approach • the power spectrum of the ECG or the spectrum of HRV (heart rate variability) • Characteristic spectrum different for sleep and wake. • limitations: intensive data rate and computing power required as well as the required accuracy of the ECG signal obtained and heart rate calculated.

Sample Research Projects for sleep-wake classification • Automatic sleep detection using activity and facial electrodes (Finnish Institute of Occupational Health) • Automatic Sleep Stage Classification Using Electro-oculography (Tampere University of Technology)(resting potential of the retina) • Adaptive Wake and Sleep Detection for Wearable Systems(Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology)( spectral analysis of ECG, RSP with neural network)
New approach • Heart Monitoring : integrated with BScope Portal • Sleep Monitoring: acceleration in combination with heart rate using neural network classifier
