SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTION VIA PPG TO ECG SIGNAL TRANSLATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240122519 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTION VIA PPG TO ECG SIGNAL TRANSLATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for detecting atrial fibrillation (afib) using ECG signals generated from monitored PPG signals.
- PPG signals of a user are received and measured by a PPG sensor.
- The measured PPG signals are translated into ECG signals using a dynamic model.
- The translated ECG signals are analyzed using an afib detection model trained on measured ECG signals for afib detection.
- The analyzed afib detection results are provided to the user.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in wearable devices for continuous monitoring of heart health, especially in individuals at risk of atrial fibrillation.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in early detection of atrial fibrillation, allowing for timely medical intervention and management of the condition.
Benefits
The system provides a non-invasive and convenient method for detecting atrial fibrillation, enhancing the user's awareness of their heart health and potentially improving outcomes through early detection.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Wearable Device for Atrial Fibrillation Detection": Optimizing the technology for integration into wearable devices for consumer use.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of PPG signals for heart rate monitoring in wearable devices, but the specific translation of PPG signals into ECG signals for afib detection may be a novel aspect of this technology.
=== What are the specific parameters of the dynamic model used for translating PPG signals into ECG signals? The specific parameters of the dynamic model used for translation are not detailed in the abstract. Further information would be needed to understand the intricacies of this aspect of the technology.
=== How accurate is the afib detection model in identifying atrial fibrillation from the translated ECG signals? The abstract does not provide information on the accuracy or performance metrics of the afib detection model. Additional data or studies would be necessary to assess the reliability of the detection results.
Original Abstract Submitted
