Signal Processing Application

To implement any  Signal Processing operation on one dimensional Signal.

It was a group experiment .We had to find out an application of DSP for 1-dimensional signal.Our group members are Apurva Harane ,Anuradha Kadam ,Seema Bhoir and me.We selected ECG ie Electrocardiography as the application of DSP and the application of ECG which I have selected is ECG  derived sleep monitoring .

  APPLICATION: Method and apparatus for ECG derived sleep monitoring of a user

Summary:
The invention relates to a method and device for simultaneous monitoring of cardiac activity, respiratory rate, and the evaluation of sleep states of a user. The invention comprises a seamless on-line evaluation of cardiac activity, heart rate variability, and ECG derived respiratory rate and using these data as an input for evaluation and quantitative assessment of sleep disorders. The hardware comprises of a flexible cardiac belt with 3 electrodes, which is easy to use without involvement of trained professionals.
To facilitate the diagnosis of sleep disorders, patients are monitored using polygraph recording of electroencephalograms (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), electro-oculogram (EOG) and other data.
The fundamental aspect of the invention is a simultaneous monitoring of ECG and respiratory parameters, evaluation of autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, and determining of sleep states incorporated in a wearable unobtrusive device which can be used for in-home, ambulatory and in-hospital sleep monitoring without supervision or assistance of trained personal.
