  • Abstract
    The aim of the study was to assess the applicability of seismocardiogram (SCG) for the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) in telemonitoring applications. SCG data used in this study consists of simultaneous SCG and ECG recordings of 12 patients during both AF and sinus rhythm (after cardioversion). An SCG-based AF-detection algorithm was developed and its performance tested with the acquired clinical data. The algorithm is able to distinguish AF positive samples from samples with sinus rhythm with high accuracy.
