Monitoring Heart Rate with Common Market Smart-phones for Identifying Potential Signs that may Lead to Sudden Death

TL;DRAbstract

Context: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a phenomenon in which new-born-infants die, often during sleeping, and no cause of death is identified after the autopsy and examination. Assumptions can be made in order to understand what happened to the infant, e.g. heart failures and insufficient breathing rate due to the position of the infant, although deeper studies are hard to be performed, since recording real-cases of sudden infant death on camera is not so trivial. Objectives: Our main objective with the work hereby presented is to perform a study on practical issues that may arise when one is contemplating to build a mobile application for monitoring the heart rate of individuals. These issues may include the levels of accuracy of heart rate measurements that can be retrieved by the current technology, best room conditions for the application to work and positioning of the device in respect to the subject under monitoring. Our secondary objective with this work is to present a
