Automatic Real-time Segmentation of SCG Signals

Research has shown that by monitoring the vibration of the heart using a simple sensor mounting on the human chest, the mechanical characteristics of heart can be measured. The purpose of this research is to design and build a remote diagnostic device to be used for heart patients with prior or having symptoms of heart failure diseases. The participant intern role in this project will collaborate with Heart Force Biomedical to design and implement the software that calculates hemodynamics parameters to be used for diagnosis by cardiologists. The outcome of this project is anticipated be extremely beneficial for both academia and the company. By successful completion of this project, multiple publications and patents will help improve the field of cardiac engineering. Furthermore, this device is the first of its kind in capturing the cardiac parameters of heart non-invasively and will be beneficial for biomedical device industry.
