LoCLoP: Low-cost/Low-processing Power Methodology for Deriving Heart Rate and Respiratory Rate in Time-critical Domain

This paper proposes a methodology (LoCLoP) for deriving the heart rate and respiratory rate vital signs from a given ECG signal, leveraging affordable low-cost equipment which can be utilized by urgent medical units or even volunteers in events of considerable number of injured civilians. The LoCLoP methodology has been evaluated using more than 400 ECG signals from two distinct ECG data sets. Its robustness is measured in terms of accuracy...
