Abstract :
A system for Ambulatory Examination and Management of Cardiovascular disease patients (AEMC) is presented. The system continuously collects vital signals as well as context (activity and environment) information, and then fuses them to obtain the heart status in terms of cardiovascular fitness. Technical details for activity classification, Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal processing and data fusion are described. The system has reached the stage of medical trial.
