Master's Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Engineering - General, Basics, University of Pisa, language: English, abstract: The detection of the QRS complex is very important because it is related to different heart dysfunctions. The wavelet transformation is an useful tool to characterize non-stationary signals such as the QRS complex because it gives good estimation of time and frequency localization. Starting from the mathematical expression of the Gaussian function, chosen as mother wavelet, after the Laplace Transform, the Pade Approximation will be used to arrive at a rational...

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2009 in the subject Medicine - Biomedical Engineering, grade: none, University of Pisa (Faculty of Engineering), course: Bioengineering, language: English, abstract: Wearable sensors present a new frontier in the development of monitoring techniques. They are of great importance in sectors such as sport and healthcare as they permit the continuous monitoring of physiological and biological elements such as ECG and human sweat. Until recently this could only be carried out in specialized laboratories in the presence of cumbersome and often expensive...
