HealthGuard: Heart Attack and Respiratory Monitoring System

The method for producing respiration- derived cardiogram (RDC) and electrocardiogram (ECG) derived respiration (EDR) utilising a respiratory stretch sensor from a single lead ECG is presented in this study. The objective of the study is to detect heartbeats and compute the heart rate (HR) using the respiration signal. It also aims to rebuild the respiration waveform and compute the respiration rate using ECG QRS heartbeat complexes data. The accuracy of both approaches will be evaluated by comparing reference points to located QRS complexes and inspiration maxima. The results of this study will eventually aid in the development of new, more precise, and effective techniques for detecting heartbeats in respiratory signals, leading to improved cardiovascular disease diagnosis and management, particularly during sleep, when respiration monitoring is crucial for identifying apnea and other breathing problems , a recognised cause of cardiovascular disorders and ones that are associated to a lower quality of life. Additionally, the results of this study might be used to assess if it is feasible to use low-cost, no-contact wearable sensors to collect cardiac and respiratory data simultaneously.
