SEISMIC-HF 1: key findings from AHA24 and implications for remote cardiac monitoring
This study shows that a wearable patch can estimate heart pressure in patients with heart failure as accurately as invasive tests, offering hope for better remote care options.
Non-Invasive Wearable Technology to Predict Heart Failure Decompensation
This study reviews wearable devices like smartwatches and patches that monitor heart and lung health to predict worsening heart failure. These technologies could help doctors intervene earlier and prevent hospitalizations, but more research is needed to make them reliable and easy to use.
Publicly available signal databases containing seismocardiographic signals — the state in early 2023
This study highlights the limited availability of SCG signal databases, which are crucial for advancing heart monitoring research. It identifies gaps in gender balance and disease representation in existing datasets.
Enabling Wearable Pulse Transit Time-Based Blood Pressure Estimation for Medically Underserved Areas and Health Equity: Comprehensive Evaluation Study (Preprint)
This study shows that a wearable device can accurately measure blood pressure without a cuff, helping underserved communities monitor hypertension remotely and conveniently.
The Latest Progress and Development Trend in the Research of Ballistocardiography (BCG) and Seismocardiogram (SCG) in the Field of Health Care
This study reviews how BCG and SCG technologies are being revived to monitor heart and health conditions, with potential applications in sleep and cardiovascular care. It calls for making these technologies more accessible and standardized for everyday use.
A Comprehensive Review on Seismocardiogram: Current Advancements on Acquisition, Annotation, and Applications
This study reviews how SCG, a method to measure heart vibrations, is advancing with new sensors and AI to monitor heart health more effectively, even at home. It also highlights challenges like reducing noise in signals during movement.
Comparison of multiple cardiac signal acquisition technologies for heart rate variability analysis
This study shows that a new sensor technology, PiPG, can measure heart rate variability almost as accurately as an ECG, making it a promising tool for monitoring heart health in various settings.
Wearable ballistocardiogram and seismocardiogram systems for health and performance
This study shows how wearable sensors can track heart health by measuring vibrations caused by heartbeats, offering a low-cost way to monitor conditions like heart failure and optimize physical performance in challenging environments.
Challenges in Using Seismocardiography for Blood Pressure Monitoring
