Non-invasive heart rate monitor applying independent component analysis in videos

Abstract:

Heart rate takes a fundamental role inside monitoring vital signs. It is an indicator of proper heart operation, reason why regular control is required. Many difficulties faced by patients in the monitoring of heart rate as uncertain outcome of a take by the health worker with conventional techniques, discomfort applying sensors that remain contact with the skin in patients with dermatological problems, neonates, senior adults or high costs to attend a medical entity lead to ignore the control of their vital signs. These are some features that allow for to provide an inexpensive, non-invasive heart rate monitor. The system generates reliable results compared to certain current monitoring techniques.
