Heart rate and QRS complex detection for ECG in MATLAB.

This paper proposes a low cost method for the esti-mation of blood parameters using photo-plethysmography (PPG) technique. Data is obtained non-invasively the fingertip, which is processed to estimate the heart rate and the hemoglobin concentration.

The MIO sensor emitted the OHR signal at 1 Hz. The method for derivation of this OHR the raw PPG signal was not made public by the manufacturers. Heart rate was extracted offline the ECG data using a MATLAB implementation of Afonso et al. [5].
