Seat vibration for heart monitoring in a moving automobile: extended abstract

Continuous heart rate monitoring in cars can allow ambient health monitoring and help track driver stress and fatigue. We present a data set from accelerometers embedded in a car seat which includes ten people sitting in the passenger seat of a moving car, and surface ECG data of each user to provide ground truth of the heartbeat. This data can be used to analyze the heart activity of people in cars, despite the presence of high levels of noise from car motion, human motion, and the car engine.
