Exploiting the Interdependence of Electrocardiography (ECG) with Other Physiological Parameters of Human Body in Remote Monitoring System

Abstract

Human body holds physiological parameters like heart rate (HR), respiration rate (RR), temperature, blood glucose level and blood pressure (BP) that indicates the health state. Monitoring these vital signs detect early signs of significant diseases like cardio-vascular and pulmonary which increase the death ratio as 70% of global death and in India it was attributed to 61% as per World Health Organization (WHO) report. With advancement in modern technologies health monitoring is achievable without affecting their regular activities and by making people to be at anywhere, not to be in hospital for long stay. In this paper the relevance between electrocardiography (ECG) and remaining other physiological measures is highlighted which will be incorporated in the design of health monitoring device in near future by revealing its complexity and ensures the high comfortability in accessing the device.

“…Further a noninvasive method for blood pressure estimation is applied by deriving pulse transit time (PAT). Revathi et al [14] explored the interdependence exists among ECG and photoplethysmography (PPG) signals and usage of the same in obtaining noninvasive methods for blood pressure assessment. A cost effective pulse oximeter is proposed and its efficacy is evaluated across volunteers by Revathi et al [15].…”
