ECG and PPG Applications in Healthcare
Date:
In February 2025, I was invited to speak at the Biosignals course at Universidad Pontificia Comillas, where I presented a talk titled “ECG and PPG Applications in Healthcare”.
The session focused on:
- 🫀 My research on ECG-based biometric identification
- 🔍 Adapting the method for atrial fibrillation (AFib) detection
- 🧠 Using deep learning with convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
- 🖼️ Visual representation of ECG signals as electrocardiomaps (ECMs) or heatmaps
- 🔐 Exploring the potential of these methods for health monitoring and security applications
The talk highlighted how a methodology originally designed for secure patient identification was repurposed to detect cardiac pathologies, showing the versatility and robustness of ECG-based approaches in personalized healthcare.
