A method and a system provides temporal information on a subject. A ballistocardiographic signal is obtained with an accelerometer, and processed to obtain a beat-to-beat time (TB2B) signal and a stroke volume (SV) signal. Filtered TB2B SV signals are provided by filtering the signals to remove erro...

Summary:A method and a system provides temporal information on a subject. A ballistocardiographic signal is obtained with an accelerometer, and processed to obtain a beat-to-beat time (TB2B) signal and a stroke volume (SV) signal. Filtered TB2B SV signals are provided by filtering the signals to remove erroneous values not caused by heart-beats. A true HR signal is calculated from the filtered TB2B signal and a true SV signal and a stroke volume variability (SVV) signal are calculated from the filtered SV signal. The true HR signal is filtered to detect and separate abnormal heart; the true SV and SVV signals are used as parameters to facilitate separation of the abnormal and normal heart-beats. If abnormal heart-beats are detected, arrhythmia related to the detected abnormal heart-beats is identified and temporal information on occurrence and type of the identified arrhythmia is provided to a user.
