Funded Activity Summary

Robust estimation of cardiac output and oxygen consumption from simple non-invasive physiological variables. We aim to develop robust mathematical and physiological models to estimate cardiac output and oxygen consumption of an exercising individual from simple non-invasive physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiration, body temperature and body movement (using multiple triaxial accelerometers). The models developed will provide a better understanding of the human cardiovascular system response to exercise, and could be incorporated as part of a closed loop control system for cardiac pacemakers and/or heart assist devices. Outcomes will include increased scientific knowledge, new robust models of the exercising cardiovascular /respiratory / thermoregulatory system and advanced biomedical instrumentation.
