Heart Rate and Respiratory Rate Measurements from Imagery

Generally, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for measuring heart rate and respiratory rate using a camera such as, for example, a smartphone camera or other consumer-grade camera. Specifically, the present disclosure presents and validates two algorithms that make use of smartphone cameras (or the like) for measuring heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) for consumer wellness use. As an example, HR can be measured by placing the finger of a subject over the rear-facing camera. As another example, RR can be measured via a video of the subject sitting still in front of the front-facing camera.

20220409066 · 2022-12-29 ·

A plurality of electrophysiological signals measured by a respective plurality of electrodes carried by a multi-dimensional catheter can be sorted relative to a direction of interest, such as a cardiac activation wavefront direction. An electroanatomical mapping system can be used to determine the orientation of the multi-dimensional catheter relative to the direction of interest. For example, the user can manually adjust the orientation by manipulating a slider, a wheel, or a similar graphical user interface control. As another example, the user can draw a presumed orientation on a geometric model. Once the orientation is determined, the system can sort the plurality of electrophysiological signals and output a graphical representation of the sorted plurality of electrophysiological signals, for example as a plurality of traces.
