The Physical Activity Vital Sign: a primary care tool to guide counseling for obesity.
BACKGROUND Only 25% of US adults achieve adequate physical activity (PA). Obtaining a PA history is an appropriate first step when evaluating this behavior. The Physical Activity Vital Sign (PAVS) is a clinical tool designed to screen for PA in adults. METHODS To determine how responses to the PAVS questions associate with BMI, overweight, and obesity, we performed a cross-sectional study uti...

متن کاملVital Sign Estimation through Doppler
i ABSTRACT Doppler radar can be used to measure respiration and heart rate without contact and through obstacles. In this work, a Doppler radar architecture at 2.4 GHz and a new signal processing algorithm to estimate the respiration and heart rate are presented. The received signal is dominated by the transceiver noise, LO phase noise and clutter which reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of the ...
