Abstract

This paper presents results of the SIXTHSENSE project, a research and innovation action within the H2020 program, aiming to develop new methods for unobtrusive monitoring of first responders based on multimodal sensing. The goal is to determine Heart Rate signal from ECG recorded by a multi sensor smart patch in the specific conditions the first responders are facing on their deployments. In addition to the challenges commonly faced when processing ECG signals recorded by wearables in high intensity activities, the work presented tackles the issues of noise generated by active sensors collocated with the ECG electrodes. Furthermore, the ergonomic requirements of the targeted users, namely firefighters and mountain rescuers, imposed positioning the multi sensor smart patch on the user’s back, making the analysis of recorder ECG signal more challenging. Initial experiments were conducted to determine the optimal electrode position on the back for ECG recording, and the design of the patch that would allow robust measurement of the signals, while not impeding the user during intense physical activity.Analysis of different algorithms for ECG signal processing was performed, considering both the specific distortions for ECG signals recorded on the back, and the effects of active system modules on the acquisition, namely electrotactile stimulation and iontophoretic analyte extraction.The prosposed multi sensor patch design and processing algorithm are presented and demonstrated in experiments simulating relevant conditions for the application of interest.
在极端环境中部署的急救人员远程监控设备中心率测量模块的设计
本文介绍了SIXTHSENSE项目的结果,该项目是H2020计划中的一项研究和创新行动,旨在开发基于多模态传感的不显眼监测第一响应者的新方法。目标是确定由多传感器智能贴片记录的心电信号在急救人员部署时所面临的特定条件下的心率信号。除了处理可穿戴设备在高强度活动中记录的ECG信号时通常面临的挑战外,所提出的工作还解决了与ECG电极配置的有源传感器产生的噪声问题。此外,目标用户,即消防员和山区救援人员的人体工程学要求,将多传感器智能贴片定位在用户背上,这使得记录仪心电信号的分析更具挑战性。最初的实验是为了确定背部心电图记录的最佳电极位置,以及贴片的设计,该贴片可以对信号进行稳健的测量,同时不会妨碍用户在剧烈的身体活动中使用。分析了不同的心电信号处理算法,考虑了背部记录的心电信号的特定畸变,以及主动系统模块对采集的影响,即电触觉刺激和离子电泳分析物提取。提出了多传感器贴片设计和处理算法,并在实验中进行了验证,模拟了相关应用条件。
