Non-invasive type ecg monitoring device and method

Abstract

An electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring device includes a vibration sensor unit configured to detect a vibration transferred through an instrument in a non-contact and non-invasive manner to acquire a vibration signal, the vibration sensor unit including at least one vibration sensor attached to an instrument where an object under observation is located, a filter unit configured to receive the vibration signal, filter the vibration signal to remove a predetermined frequency band, and extract a seismocardiography (SCG) signal caused by a heart vibration of the subject under observation; and an ECG waveform acquisition unit configured to estimate a pattern of the SCG signal and generate an ECG signal of a pattern corresponding to the pattern of the SCG signal, the ECG waveform acquisition unit including a pre-trained artificial neural network.
