  • Patent number: 12725696
    Abstract: Method for reconstructing ECG signals through imaging for arrhythmia detection and its detection system, wherein the method for reconstructing ECG signals through imaging for arrhythmia detection involves receiving images of the human skin, which contain color changes on the skin surface caused by heartbeats and heart rhythms. The method comprises performing noise reduction on these color changes and analyzing the color variations to extract a remote photoplethysmographic (rPPG) signal that corresponds to the heart rates and heart rhythms. Frequency domain analysis is conducted to identify the frequency features within the rPPG signal, and feature extraction is performed on these frequency characteristics to obtain a photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal. The PPG signal undergoes feature extraction to derive time domain features and frequency domain features, which are then fused to output a reconstructed ECG signal.

  • Patent number: 12721603
    Abstract: A wearable cardiac ultrasound patch, a cardiovascular disease identification system, and method thereof integrate a silicon photonic integrated circuit layer with a microelectromechanical integrated circuit layer into an optical fiber micro-sensor, which is encapsulated with a computing chip as a single unit. This allows the examinee to perform cardiac ultrasound detection and processing in a wearable and convenient manner, free from time or geographic constraints. The silicon photonic elements in the silicon photonic integrated circuit layer and the piezoelectric elements in the microelectromechanical integrated circuit layer are stacked and arranged in a two-dimensional array, enabling the wearable cardiac ultrasound patch to scan at more angles. Furthermore, the cardiovascular disease identification system of the present invention can process the examinee's cardiac ultrasound signals, electrocardiography (ECG) signals, and phonocardiography (PCG) signals.
