Seismocardiography while sleeping at high altitude

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2012:2012:3793-6. doi: 10.1109/EMBC.2012.6346793.

Abstract

Current advancements in sensor technology allow the prolonged assessment of the seismocadiogram (SCG) out of the laboratory setting. Aim of this study is to evaluate whether SCG, as measured by a recently proposed wearable device, can detect cardio-respiratory alterations during sleep in healthy subjects exposed to high altitude hypoxia.
