A Unified Approach to Wearable Ballistocardiogram Gating and Wave Localization

Conclusion: We demonstrated the proof-of-concept of a unified approach to localize wearable BCG waves suited to various gating and localization reference signals compatible with wearable measurement. Significance: Prior work using the BCG itself or the ECG to gate the BCG beats and localize the waves to compute PTT are not ideally suited to the wearable BCG. Our approach may foster the development of cuff-less BP monitoring technologies based on the wearable BCG.
