A brief tour through sampling theory, signal processing, the Fourier transform, and other related topics. We’ll briefly cover some plotting and visualization techniques here as well.
We cover the basics of the accelerometer, the PPG sensor, and the ECG sensor, as well as what these signals look like in typical environments and the types of noise that we will encounter.
Build an activity classifier using a wrist-worn accelerometer!
We deep dive into a fundamental algorithm for ECG processing and use that as the basis for an arrhythmia detection algorithm.
In this project, you will create a pulse rate algorithm that takes into account activity and apply this algorithm to a new data set to determine clinically significant features.
