Daily Life Monitoring using a Neckband Electrocardiogram Device

Abstract

In a super-aged society, it is important to create efficient and optimal measures with the aim of ensuring good health and longevity of the people. Sensor-based systems for such simple health checks are expected to help in preventing the need for medical pre-emptive medicine. In this study, for developing a hybrid sensor-based measurement system, we used an electrocardiogram device attached to the neck and a photoelectric pulse wave sensor to measure the pulse wave propagation time. This sensor system can be scaled according to the intended application, such as the estimation of activity via blood pressure fluctuations and the autonomic nervous system. We attempted to reduce movement noise in the electrocardiogram measurement by using a neckband device. In addition, I performed an electrocardiogram measurement during a meal and exercise.
