VitAlgos
SATHeart develops and implement vital sign monitoring algorithms called VitAlgos and specializes in cardiac, vascular and breathing health parameters using wearable optical sensors.
These algorithms are optimized for embedded platforms (wearables, hearables, portables) and can also be implemented on Cloud computers. Our algorithms are based on either photoplethysmogram (PPG) or heart interbeat intervals (limited features). We have divided them into three categories: Heart, Breathe and Vascular.
The algorithms are available for licensing or potential co-development with partners. Contact us for more information about this service. SATHeart also provides consultancy services on biomedical algorithm design and implementation for embedded platforms or cloud computers.
Heart
Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability are essential features of this package. We also have a Heart-Brain Synchronization metric which essentially quantifies the heart rhythm responsiveness to breathing and blood pressure variations. Additional Signal Quality Indices are also provided. These indices are also computed from heart interbeat intervals from selected third party devices or from our finger camera App.
Breathe
This package additionally offers breathing rate and a breathing score associated with a Signal Quality Index. This feature is fully implemented using optical sensors or in a limited quality using heart interbeat intervals. Part of these indices are also computed from heart interbeat intervals from selected third party devices or from our finger camera App.
Vascular
This is the complete package of our algorithms which contains peripheral oxygen pressure (SpO2) and Vessel Stiffness. Signal Quality Indices are also provided. This package can be extended to the estimation of the pulse wave velocity and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (work in progress). Some parts of the algorithm are deployed on cloud computers.
Please find here a list of our current features. Contact us for more details if you are interested to use these algorithms on your platform (wearable, earable, portable, cloud).
