Abstract
The authors present a research project aiming to develop a context-aware cardiac permanent monitoring system. A significant challenge addressed by this project is to acquire reliable ECG signals with dry electrodes in order to do an automatic analysis und alerting. A method to detect motion artifacts by the simultaneous measurement of electrode/skin-impedance is proposed. Investigations of the correlation of motion artifacts and impedance signal are presented. Results of applying an impedance signal based artifact detection algorithm on QRS detection is shown.
