PPG signal quality assessment and heart rate estimation
Vargová, Enikö ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
This work deals with photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals, their processing, quality assessment, estimation of heart rate from PPG signals and the ability to record biological signals with smartphones. The aim of this work is to record PPG signals using a smartphone and reference ECG signals using an ECG recorder. The work also includes the design of two algorithms, one for signal quality assessment and the other for heart rate estimation from PPG signals.

Blood pressure estimation using smartphone
Vařečka, Martin ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
Blood pressure is one of the basic indicators of the health state of the cardiovascular system. High blood pressure is the main risk factor of ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis and stroke. Therefore, it is important to monitor long-term changes in blood pressure and respond in time to these changes. Blood pressure meters are not standard household equipment, while a well-equipped smartphone is. Smartphones contain a large number of sensors capable of measuring biomedical signals. This thesis focuses on creating an application capable of determining blood pressure using data obtained from these sensors.

Photopletysmograph with evaluation of recorded lines
Vyskočilová, Marta ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Chmelař, Milan (advisor)
Bachelor thessis deals with the methods of measurement of tissue volume with plethysmographic method focusing on photopletysmography. This method is used to determine the reactivity of blood vessels and blood flow to the quality of the investigated tissue. For shooting plethysmographic curve was designed and made device that communicates with the computer via multifunction NI USB card. For further signal processing was designed the virtual instrument in programming environment LabVIEW and device function was tested on test subjects.

Continuous measurement of blood pressure
Kopčil, Petr ; Chmelař, Milan (referee) ; Nováková, Zuzana (advisor)
This paper deals with the physiology of cardiovascular system, explains elementary principles related to blood flow physiology and describes some basic mechanisms for regulation and blood pressure measurement. The paper also includes a description of the medical device, known as the Finometer (FMS, Netherlands), for continuous non-invasive blood pressure measurement and suggests a way to data export from this device to a text file. It introduces user friendly application to manage recorded data written in MATLAB. There is a statistical test to assess the difference between two statistical data files in the last chapter of this paper which includes a comparison our results with studies made in Czech Republic and other countries too.

Lighting LED module for contactless measurement of physiological parameters
Byrtus, David ; Harabiš, Vratislav (referee) ; Kolář, Radim (advisor)
This thesis describes the design of the illumination LED module for contactless measurement of basic physiological parameters. Contactless methods is based on the fotopletysmografických methods. The acquisition parameters used video camera for monitoring body part of the patient. Designed lighting LED module is used to enhance the optical signal with respect to quantum efficiency of the camera used. The acquired video sequences are then programmatically processed, analyzed, and the result is an estimate of the measured parameter.

Analyzer of cardiac waveform
Zmeškal, Ladislav ; Říha, Kamil (referee) ; Číž, Radim (advisor)
The thesis describes design, algorithmization and realization of graphical application for recording EKG and PPG signal using LabJack UE9 tool in Matlab program, it also describes subsequent deposition of recorded signals and their processing, such as optional selection, cropping and filtering. Furthermore there are described types of filters, methods for detecting basic parameters of EKG and PPG signals and methods for detecting R waves and Systolic peaks. Based on detection of those parameters, algorithms for computing average heart rate and finding arrhythmias were designed and tested. Last part of the thesis includes an evaulation which compares values detected by designed algorithms with values from public database which includes reference annotation.
