Abstract

Contactless capacitive ECG measurement is an unobtrusive way of acquiring cardiovascular data. However, movement artifacts present a common problem with this technique. A means of assessing signal quality and confidence is therefore desirable. In this paper we present a capacitive ECG measurement system with an integrated module that constantly monitors the electrode-body-impedance. Moreover, we present a method to derive an artifact level signal from this electrode-body-impedance that can be used to estimate the signal quality of the capacitive ECG measurement. First results of measurements with this system are shown.
