Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Occupational Health
Sensor Technology

Background:

Occupational sedentary behavior is a public health concern.
Current interventions lack accuracy and privacy.
Need for objective, real-time monitoring solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

Validate a privacy-preserving, edge-computing time-of-flight (ToF) sensor.
Assess its ability to detect postural states and quantify exercise gestures.
Evaluate its suitability for adaptive workplace interventions.

Main Methods:

Laboratory study with 7 participants.
Dual-sensor ToF system evaluated against activPAL3 accelerometry and video analysis.
378 postural events and exercise repetitions analyzed.

Main Results:

High temporal fidelity (mean absolute error < 1.6 s) in detecting postural changes.
100% sensitivity in counting therapeutic exercise repetitions (sit-to-stand).
Accurate differentiation between workstation occupancy and physical absence.

Conclusions:

ToF sensing provides accurate, privacy-preserving postural and activity monitoring.
The system enables just-in-time, adaptive workplace interventions.
Potential to mitigate risks associated with occupational sedentary behavior.
