The reason for this is clear: cardiovascular\r<br>diseases cause around three out of every ten deaths in the world, which represents over 17\r<br>million deaths annually, according to statistics published by the World Health Organization.\r<br>Many of these deaths can be avoided through early diagnosis. However, cardiovascular\r<br>diagnosis equipment tends to be complex to use and its cost is prohibitive for most of the\r<br>population.<\/h4><br>Project Header<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br>20px<br><br><br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cit.upc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1645704102975.jpg\" alt=\"1645704102975\" \/><br>full<br>center<br>500<br>500<br><br><br>ISI has developed new systems that are easy to use, low cost, and can be utilised outside of the\r<br>hospital environment and easily integrated into everyday objects. This is a very attractive\r<br>opportunity. The initial stages were completed in a research project in collaboration with the\r<br>company Taurus. They involved the incorporation of these measurement systems into scales\r<br>that can measure body composition in addition to weight and enable daily monitoring of a\r<br>person&#039;s cardiovascular system in just a few seconds.\r<br>To achieve this characterisation, an electrocardiogram (ECG) and arterial pulse wave is\r<br>obtained from different locations by measuring the impedance plethysmography (IPG) signal\r<br>and the force of the heart on each beat (ballistocardiogram). The electrocardiogram and pulse\r<br>waves are obtained through four conductive contacts on hands and\/or feet. The\r<br>ballistocardiogram is obtained using the same sensors that measure the person&#039;s weight. The\r<br>person only has to stand on the scales and hold the handlebar with their hands. In just a few\r<br>seconds the measurements are obtained. This provides information on the pre-expulsion\r<br>period (PEP), which is a good indicator of myocardial contractility, and the pulse wave transit\r<br>time (PTT), which is a good indicador of arterial elasticity. In addition to the\r<br>electrocardiographic signal and the IPG signal, respiratory information about the user can be\r<br>obtained. The results of each parameter can be transmitted from the scales to any computer,\r<br>tablet, mobile or other device with wireless technology.\r<br>This technology, which is patented in Europe, the United States, China, South Korea, Japan and\r<br>Imdia, could easily be implemented in hand-held devices and in existing commercial systems,\r<br>such as ECG monitors and oximeter pulse measurement systems.<br>Main Text<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br><br><h5>Technology<\/h5>\r<br><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/en\/health\/\">Health<\/a>\r<br><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cit.upc.edu\/en\/digital-transformation\/\">Digital Transformation<\/a><br>Tecnolog\u00eda<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br>0px<br><br>25<br><br><h5>Sector<\/h5>\r<br><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/en\/health-sector\/\">Health sector<\/a>\r<br><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/en\/electronics\/\">Electronics<\/a><br>Sector<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br>0px<br><br>25<br><br><h5>Topic<\/h5>\r<br><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/en\/mobile-technologies\/\">Mobile Technologies<\/a><br>Sector<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br>0px<br><br>40<br><br><h5>You want to know more?<\/h5><br>Contact Button<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br>0px<br><br><hr class=\"no_line\" style=\"margin: 0 auto 0px auto\"\/>\n\r<br><a class=\"button  button_size_2\" href=\"\"         title=\"\"><span class=\"button_label\">Button<\/span><\/a>\n\r<br>\r<br><hr class=\"no_line\" style=\"margin: 0 auto 0px auto\"\/>\n\r<br><a class=\"button  button_size_2\" href=\"\"         title=\"\"><span class=\"button_label\">Button<\/span><\/a>\n<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br><br>50<br><br><h4>Related Projects<\/h4><br>Proyectos Relacionados<br>no-repeat;left top;;<br>auto<br><br>4<br>grid<br>4<br>tecnologias-de-la-salud-en<br>date<br>DESC<br>15836<br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers from the Instrumentation, Sensors and Interfaces (ISI) research group are specialised in the development of electronic instrumentation to characterise a person&#8217;s cardiovascular system in just a few seconds.
