Abstract
A heart rate detection method for calculating heart rate using heart sound from auscultation positions identified by a statistical approach utilizes a down-sampling and filtering process to acquire samples of heart sound from multiple auscultation positions of multiple testees and calculate heart rate with the samples, records time for calculating heart rate from each auscultation position of each testee and record the same from electrocardiogram, calculates a mean error and a standard deviation of the time to identify the auscultation positions allowing faster speed in heart rate detection, and applies a Bland-Altman difference plot and both a coefficient of determination and a Pearson's correlation coefficient to determine the degree of consistency and correlation of the heart rate measured from the multiple auscultation positions to identify the auscultation positions allowing generation of precise heart rate.
