Ballistocardiography is a method to gain detailed information about body movements imparted by the ballistic forces associated with cardiac contraction. We measured using different setups and sensor positions to gain information of a reference signal of healthy adults. We used two resting state recordings and two recordings under physical stress (ergometer and treadmill) with stepwise increasing load. Data was gathered from 34 subjects, which results in 72 data sets, overall, more than 18h of signal data. With these data we have created a first database for BCG reference. We started data analysis and created a first naive data representation prototype. Using this naive attempt, we created a user interface for the intuitive representation of live data as well as retrospective data.
