Remote cardiac monitoring using radar
Recording a patient's vital signs without physical contact is a challenging research problem with applications in medicine, search and rescue, and security. In order to study this problem, an ultra wide band (UWB) pulse radar and a fixed-frequency amplitude based radar were constructed and …

Reducing Alarm Fatigue in Critical Care
… 210 employees, and houses the facility’s central cardiac monitoring station which utilizes unit staff. The objective was to improve patient safety through reducing the risk of alarm fatigue by decreasing the total number of clinical alarms on the unit. Specified goals included a 20% reduction in …

ARTERIAL WAVEFORM MEASUREMENT USING A PIEZOELECTRIC SENSOR
… sensor at producing a reliable pulse waveform, a monitoring system, including the PZT sensor, ECG, pulse-oximeter, respiratory sensor, and accelerometer was setup. Signal analysis from the system helped discover that the PZT waveform is relative to the 1st derivative of the artery pressure wave. …
