The Digital Ballistocardiograph (dBG300®)
Heart Force Medical Inc. (HFM) has invented and has patents pending for the digital Ballistocardiograph, a non-invasive medical device that assesses cardiac function by sensing forces generated as a result of heart muscle contractions. These forces are captured by an accelerometer which is enclosed in a sensor placed on the chest at the lower end of the sternum. A PC displays a digital Ballistocardiogram (dBG300®), a digitized seismic signal, and an electrocardiograph (ECG) signal as a set of waveforms. The ECG rhythm strip is available as a timing reference. The dBG300® displays the relative changes in the forces generated as the atria and ventricles contract.
