Fusing non-contact vital sign sensing modalities - first results

A wearable multi-sensor system allowing synchronized unobtrusive measurements of 4 vital signs at a dedicated location of interest is presented. The 4×U sensor is capable of synchronously measuring magnetic impedance, reflective photoplethysmography, capacitive electrocardiogram and seismocardiography (ballistocardiography). The hardware of all modalities is described and some preliminary results are reported.
