    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for determining a cardiac burden of a user. Methods include collecting a series of cardiac measurements at a first set of time points using one or more sensors and determining a set of measured data points. Each measured data point can include a time value from the first set of time points and a classification comprising one of an occurrence of a qualified cardiac event or absence of the qualified cardiac event. Methods include generating a set of additional data points each including a time value from the second set of time points and a classification of one of the occurrence of the qualified cardiac event or the absence of the qualified cardiac event. Methods include determining a value of the cardiac burden for a predefined period of time using the set of measured data points and the set of additional data points.

    Abstract: This relates to methods for measuring irregularities in a signal and corresponding devices. The devices can include a PPG sensor unit configured to detect multiple occurrences of a given event in the measured signal(s) over a sampling interval. In some instances, the device can register the occurrences of the events. In some examples, the device can include one or more motion sensors configured to detect whether the device is in a low-motion state. The device may delay initiating measurements when the device is not in a low-motion state to enhance measurement accuracy. Examples of the disclosure further include resetting the sample procedure based on one or more factors such as the number of non-qualifying measurements. In some examples, the device can be configured to perform both primary and secondary measurements, where the primary measurements can include readings using a set of operating conditions different from the secondary measurements.

    Abstract: An algorithm for determining heart rate by removing motion artifacts from a PPG signal in the frequency domain utilizes a principal component analysis. Some examples of the present disclosure process PPG signals in combination with accelerometer signals to remove unwanted artifacts in the frequency domain. For example, principal components of the accelerometer signal can be generated and combined with the PPG signal to filter out acceleration contributions represented in the PPG signal to reveal heart rate peaks. Additionally, in some examples, templates may be stored for correlation with candidate heart rate peaks to select those peaks with the highest correlations with the stored templates.

    Abstract: Algorithms for detecting whether a device is properly secured to a user's skin are described. The operation of a device, such as a wearable device, can be adjusted based on whether the device is properly secured to a user's skin (e.g., on-wrist) or not properly secured to the user's skin (e.g., off-wrist). For example, certain functions can be disabled for power-saving, security or other purposes if the device is off-wrist. In order to avoid falsely identifying the device as off-wrist or on-wrist, algorithms for detecting whether the device is on-wrist or off-wrist can calculate one or more variances based on signals measured by a light sensor and compare the one or more variances with one or more thresholds. Comparing the one or more variances to the one or more threshold can improve the accuracy of wrist-detection algorithms.
