Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Continuous heart
monitoring is an effective approach in detecting irregular heartbeats and providing early …

In recent years, cardiovascular diseases are on the rise, and they entail enormous health
burdens on global economies. Cardiac vibrations yield a wide and rich spectrum of essential …

The seismocardiogram (SCG) is a recording of a human heart's mechanical activity. It
captures fine-grained cardiovascular events such as the opening and closing of heart valves …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health problem. Living with diseases like
CVD often requires long-term monitoring, for which flexible and conformable sensors are …

The precordial mechanical vibrations generated by cardiac contractions have a rich
frequency spectrum. While the lowest frequencies can be palpated, the higher infrasonic …

Maternal health includes health during pregnancy and childbirth. Each stage during
pregnancy should be a positive experience, ensuring that women and their babies reach …

Physiological variation of the interval between consecutive heartbeats is known as the heart
rate variability (HRV). HRV analysis is traditionally performed on electrocardiograms (ECG …

Forcecardiography (FCG) is a novel technique that measures the local forces induced on the
chest wall by the mechanical activity of the heart. Specific piezoresistive or piezoelectric …

Cardiac time intervals are important hemodynamic indices and provide information about left
ventricular performance. Phonocardiography (PCG), impedance cardiography (ICG), and …

Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are frequently implemented in wearable devices. Thanks
to advances in signal processing and machine learning, applications of IMUs are not limited …
