Abstract

For monitoring and diagnostics of the cardiovascular health, Electrocardiogram (ECG)is considered as a standard modality. However, direct contact of electrodes with skin, and signal corruption due to sweat and the daily-activity induced motion limits the use of conventional ECG in wearable-sensor based long term health monitoring devices. Accelerometers are light-weight, inexpensive and can be used simultaneously in multiple applications. Therefore, we propose an approach for generating pseudo-ECG from a chest-worn accelerometer. First a non-linear regression is identified between the chest surface acceleration and the conventional ECG signals. Based on the identified regression model, a pseudo-ECG signal is generated from the chest acceleration signal. The proposed method was validated on 15 trials data recorded from 3 human subjects. Results show that the generated ECG matches well with the real ECG with an average correlation coefficient of 0.8.
