Abstract :
A contactless electrocardiogram (ECG) system in an airplane seat aims to monitor the well-being of passengers afraid to fly, but passenger movements can disturb the signal. The authors discuss how passenger activity influences ECG signals and present a novel method for automatically appraising signal quality.
