Abstract

This paper presents results of the H2020 SIXTHSENSE project, aiming to develop new methods for unobtrusive monitoring of first responders based on multimodal sensing. The goal is to determine Heart Rate (HR) signal from ECG recorded by a multi sensor smart patch in the specific conditions the first responders are facing on their deployments. In addition to the challenges commonly faced when processing ECG signals recorded by wearables in high intensity activities, the electrode placement is atypical as the ergonomic requirements of the targeted users imposed positioning the multi sensor smart patch on the user’s back, and additional noise is generated by collocated active elements. The system was prototyped and examined in experiments simulating relevant conditions for the application of interest. The signals were analyzed with three established algorithms for ECG signal processing to determine the optimal method for HR detection.
