Signal Quality Index Based on Template Cross-Correlation in Multimodal Biosignal Chair for Smart Healthcare

We investigated the effects of a quality screening method on unconstrained measured signals, including electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), and ballistocardiogram (BCG) signals, in our collective chair system for smart healthcare. Such an investigation is necessary because unattached o...
