Impact of Building Vibrations on Vibrocardiographic Signal Collection

Abstract
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, killing approximately 614,348 people a year (“Leading Causes of Death,” 2016). VCG signals, vibrocardiographic signals, can provide useful clinical information which may lead to develop new diagnostic methods. However, due to the sensitive equipment used to collect accurate results, any amount of outside noise or vibrations will taint the data collected and provide inaccurate results. Thus, the building vibrations and those of the surrounding areas where the VCG signals are being collected can potentially impact the end results of the diagnosis. This study will investigate the effect of structural vibrations on VCG collection and determine whether they significantly alter the end result.

Comments
This project was completed while participating in the NSF-funded L.E.A.R.N. Program during Spring 2017. I presented this poster at the L.E.A.R.N. Appreciation Reception and the College of Engineering and Computer Science Office of Diversity and Inclusion Scholars’ Showcase. I was nominated by my fellow classmates and professors as "best poster presentation" and had this poster placed in the L.E.A.R.N. Living Learning Community the following year.
