Bed-Based Ballistocardiography Dataset

Abstract

This dataset of heart-driven signals collected from 40 participants, under Kansas State University IRB protocol #9386, includes ballistocardiograms (BCGs) and time-aligned electrocardiograms (ECGs), photoplethysmograms (PPGs), and blood pressure waveforms. The BCGs were collected from a custom, bed-based ballistocardiographic system comprised of four electromechanical films and four load cells. Affiliated cardiopulmonary signals were acquired using a GE Datex CardioCap 5 patient monitor (which collected ECG and PPG data) and a Finapres Medical Systems Finometer PRO (which provided continuous reconstructed brachial artery pressure waveforms and derived cardiovascular parameters). See our publication in Sensors for a complete description of the system used to collect this dataset.

Instructions:

These .MAT files contain MATLAB Tables of raw and preprocessed data. Information detailing the bed system used to collect these signals and the steps used to create the preprocessed data are contained in a publication in Sensors – Carlson, C.; Turpin, V.-R.; Suliman, A.; Ade, C.; Warren, S.; Thompson, D.E.; Bed-Based Ballistocardiography: Dataset and Ability to Track Cardiovascular Parameters.

The reBAP signal is scaled at 100 mmHg/volt. The interbeat interval (IBI), stroke volume (SV), and dP/dt_max are scaled at 1000 ms/volt, 100 mL/volt, and 1 mHg/s/volt, respectively.
