Development of a noncontact heart rate monitoring system for sedentary behavior based on an accelerometer attached to a chair.

abstract：:External defibrillation requires the application of high voltage electrical impulses via large external electrodes, placed on selected locations on the thorax surface. The position of the electrodes is one of the major determinants of the transthoracic impedance (TTI) which influences the intracardiac current flow dur...
