Bed-Embedded Heart and Respiration Rates Detection by Longitudinal Ballistocardiography and Pattern Recognition

In this work, a low-cost, off-the-shelf load cell is installed on a typical hospital bed and implemented to measure the longitudinal ballistocardiogram (BCG) in order to evaluate its utility for successful contactless monitoring of heart and respiration rates. The major focus is placed on the beat-t...
