A machine learning model to detect falls mimicking cardiac arrest-related collapse based on wrist-derived accelerometry: the DETECT-2 study

Using accelerometry data from the CardioWatch, sudden and soft falls that mimic cardiac arrest-related collapse can be accurately detected. The next step in the development of automated cardiac arrest detection is the integration of accelerometer signals into the existing PPG-based model, with the aim of reducing false positives and increasing sensitivity in everyday use.

Abstract

Using accelerometry data from the CardioWatch, sudden and soft falls that mimic cardiac arrest-related collapse can be accurately detected. The next step in the development of automated cardiac arrest detection is the integration of accelerometer signals into the existing PPG-based model, with the aim of reducing false positives and increasing sensitivity in everyday use.
