Guided ECG sensor placement using a RGB-D camera
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
One of the fields in which human-machine interaction is more and more relevant is medicine, especially because, in this area, a specialized digital system has better chances of detecting illnesses, injuries or other significant aspects, than human perception. This paper proposes an experimental solution, designed to help guide electrocardiography (ECG) sensor placement on a patient. At the core of the solution is a Microsoft Kinect camera, providing both color and depth information that is used for generating a cyber representation of the patient’s skeleton. Electrode placement locations are calculated and then overlaid on an RGB image, so the user has real-time feedback for correctly placing the sensors. The purpose of this solution is to contribute to the process of assistive ECG measurements, enabling home treated patients, students and doctors to experiment guided measurements procedures without the need of specialized medical assistance or second opinion confirmation.
