Robust In-Vehicle Signal Quality Assessment Using Multimodal Signal Fusion.

Continuous monitoring of physiological signals such as electrocardiogram (ECG) in driving environments has the potential to reduce the need for frequent health check-ups by providing real-time information on cardiovascular health. However, capturing ECG from sensors mounted on steering wheels creates difficulties due to motion artifacts, noise, and dropouts. To address this, we propose a novel method for reliable and accurate detection of heartbeats using sensor fusion with a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) model.

Multimodal Signal Fusion for Heartbeat Monitoring on eScooters.

Integrating continuous monitoring into everyday objects enables the early detection of diseases. This paper presents a novel approach to heartbeat monitoring on eScooters using multi-modal signal fusion. We explore heartbeat monitoring using electrocardiography (ECG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) and evaluate four signal fusion approaches based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) architectures.

Quality of Electrocardiography Recorded with Consumer Smart Shirts.

Smart wearables support continuous monitoring of vital signs for early detection of deteriorating health. However, the devices and sensors require sufficient quality to produce meaningful signals, in particular, if data is acquired in motion. In this study, we equipped 48 subjects with smart shirts recording one-lead electrocardiography (ECG), thoracic and abdominal respiratory inductance plethysmography, and three-axis acceleration.

Robust in-vehicle heartbeat detection using multimodal signal fusion.

A medical check-up during driving enables the early detection of diseases. Heartbeat irregularities indicate possible cardiovascular diseases, which can be determined with continuous health monitoring. Therefore, we develop a redundant sensor system based on electrocardiography (ECG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors attached to the steering wheel, a red, green, and blue (RGB) camera behind the steering wheel.
