BCG (Ballistocardiography)

Technology

A non-invasive biosignal measurement technology that detects subtle body movements caused by cardiovascular activity

Ballistocardiography (BCG) is a non-invasive biosignal measurement technology that detects subtle body movements generated by the mechanical activity of the cardiovascular system.These movements occur as the heart pumps blood throughout the body, and by analyzing these micro-vibrations, it provides critical insights into cardiovascular health, including heart rate, cardiac output, and respiratory activity.

Technical
Principle

Detects the mechanical recoil of the heart (Ballistocardiogram, BCG) using a compact MEMS accelerometer
Calculates heart rate, respiration rate, and cardiac output through embedded algorithms in the microcontroller

Differentiation

Non-invasive, contact-free, and unobtrusive — no electrodes required
Enables long-term monitoring when integrated into hospital beds, chairs, or smart furniture
Minimizes user discomfort compared to conventional wearable or patch-based devices

Measurable Biosignals

Applications of BCG Technology

Biosignal Analysis

• Detects sleep patterns, stages, and overall sleep quality
• Supports identification of sleep disorders (e.g., sleep apnea)

Cardiovascular Monitoring

• Measures heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and cardiac output
• Enables early detection of arrhythmia and other cardiac conditions

Stress & Fatigue Analysis

• Evaluates stress levels and mental wellness
through continuous biosignal monitoring

Remote Patient Monitoring

• Provides continuous, non-invasive monitoring for elderly individuals and patients with chronic conditions in home-care environments
