On-Site Visualization of Ballistocardiography Data

Area of Science:

• Biomedical Engineering
• Physiological Monitoring

Background:

• Ballistocardiography (BCG) measures the body's reaction to cardiac ejection.
• Acquisition of BCG data traditionally requires specialized equipment.
• Convenient and accessible BCG data acquisition is needed for broader research.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop and present a custom application for BCG data acquisition.
• To enable live presentation and convenient recording of BCG data.
• To utilize external accelerometric sensors for BCG data collection.

Main Methods:

• Development of a custom software application.
• Integration with external accelerometric sensors.
• Implementation of data acquisition, live display, and recording functionalities.

Main Results:

• A functional application for BCG data acquisition was successfully developed.
• The application facilitates real-time presentation of BCG signals.
• Convenient data recording capabilities were integrated.

Conclusions:

• The custom application provides an accessible platform for BCG data acquisition.
• This tool enhances the ease of use for researchers studying BCG.
• The application supports efficient data collection using accelerometric sensors.
