Article
Respiration can modulate the cardiovascular system through the autonomic nervous system (ANS), deriving numerous methods for monitoring respiration based on cardiovascular biomarkers. However, the sensitivity of the ANS to environmental changes can negatively affect these methods, which suggests the necessity to evaluate their performance in estima...
Article
Objective: Sympathetic nervous system activity (SNSA) can rapidly modulate arterial stiffness, thus making it an important biomarker for SNSA evaluation. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a well-known quantitative indicator of arterial stiffness, but its functional responsivity to SNSA has not been elucidated. This paper reports a method to estimate ra...
Conference Paper
This study investigates the relationship between respiration and autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and proposes a parallel detection method that can simultaneously extract the heart rate (HR) and respiration rate (RR) from different pulse waves measured using a novel biodegradable piezoelectric sensor. The synchronous changes in heart rate va...
