Background Heart rate variability, or the variation in the time interval between consecutive
heart beats, is a non-invasive dynamic metric of the autonomic nervous system and an …

The increase in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases worldwide raises concerns about
the urgent need to increase definite measures for the self-determination of different …

In this paper we review devices that can be used in the home environment for Atrial
Fibrillation (AF) detection. Detection and subsequent treatment of this heart rhythm disorder …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia. Although not life-
threatening itself, AF significantly increases the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction …

Background Pulse interval is a biomarker of psychological and physiological health. Pulse
interval can now be assessed using mobile phone apps, which expands researchers' ability …

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia found in clinical practice. It
affects an estimated 33.5 million people, representing approximately 0.5% of the world's …

To evaluate the accuracy of heart rate variability (HRV) parameters obtained with a wrist-
worn photoplethysmography (PPG) monitor in patients recovering from minimally invasive …

Background Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most distressing side effect in cancer
patients and affects the survival rate. However, most patients do not report their fatigue level …

In this paper, two different photoplethysmogram (PPG) based cryptographic key generation
approaches are proposed. The goal is to improve the security of Body Area Networks (BAN) …

Ectopic beats are abnormal cardiac beats originating from a location different than the sino-
atrial node and therefore not being controlled by the autonomous nervous system. Thus …
