    Abstract: A method for ultrasound based heart rate detection in a heart rate monitoring system is provided that includes receiving a demodulated Doppler ultrasound signal, applying a bandpass filter to the demodulated Doppler ultrasound signal to remove a direct current (DC) component and out-of-band noise, wherein a filtered demodulated Doppler ultrasound signal is generated, rectifying the filtered demodulated Doppler ultrasound signal to generate a rectified filtered demodulated Doppler ultrasound signal, applying a low-pass filter to the rectified filtered demodulated Doppler ultrasound signal to filter out undesired components to leave a resulting signal corresponding to power shift due to heart rate, detecting peaks in the resulting signal, and computing a heart rate based on the detected peaks.

    Abstract: A pedometer with a three-axis accelerometer provides reliable step counts while worn on the wrist. Three-axis accelerometer data is combined into a single combined data stream. Each positive slope region around an inflection point in the combined data stream that has positive slope, a magnitude that exceeds an amplitude threshold value and that spans a time period that exceeds a time threshold value is identified. Each negative slope region around an inflection point in the combined data stream that has negative slope, a magnitude that exceeds an amplitude threshold value and that spans a time period that exceeds a time threshold value is identified. A step count is incremented for each occurrence of an identified positive slope region that is separated by an identified negative slope region as a step.

    Abstract: Methods for heart rate measurement based on pulse oximetry are provided that can tolerate some degree of relative displacement of a photoplethysmograph (PPG) heart rate monitor device. In some methods, artifact compensation based on a reference signal is performed on the PPG signal data to remove artifacts in the signal that may be caused, for example, by changes in ambient light and/or motion of a person wearing the monitor device. The reference signal used for artifact compensation may be generated using an LED of a complementary wavelength to that of the LED used to generate the PPG signal, or by driving an LED at a lower current than the current applied to generate the PPG signal.
