Tri-axial seismocardiography devices and methods

Abstract

A computer-implemented method may comprise providing a wireless tri-axial seismocardiography (SCG) device configured to measure and time-stamp movements of a user's chest caused by the user's heart beats; positioning the SCG device on the user's chest in a predetermined orientation and initiating a test; using the positioned SCG device, detecting, sampling, digitizing and time-stamping movement vectors of the user's chest over a predetermined period of time in each of x, y and z directions; storing the time-stamped digitized movement vectors in a memory of the SCG device and sending the time-stamped digitized movement vectors to at least one of the app on the mobile device and the remote server over a computer network; receiving, by the app on the mobile device, a plurality of fiduciary markers from the remote server, the plurality of fiduciary markers being detected from or derived using the time-stamped digitized movement vectors in each of x, y and z directions; and generating a report on the mobile device using at least some of the plurality of fiduciary markers, the report including an indication of the health of the user's heart.
