Active Filtering Technology Transfer for Magnetocardiogram Data Sets (ATTMEDS)

Creavo医疗技术公司制造心磁图，这是一种设备，用于对出现与心脏病一致的症状的患者的心脏进行详细建模。我们与Creavo提出了一个合作研究项目，该项目利用现有的信号处理、振动隔离、振动测量和数据正弦波分量的动态跟踪专业知识，尝试并改进医院环境中被发现影响Creavo设备的背景噪声的过滤。这些专业知识是在谢菲尔德集团致力于与LIGO引力波探测器相关的仪器科学工作期间获得的，因此该项目代表着从LIGO(在STFC支持下)向英国拥有和定位的SME进行的技术转让。这个项目有可能影响世界各地的心脏病患者，帮助一个强大的英国企业，并从STFC资助的名义上是“蓝天”大学的研究中获得影响。该项目的拟议持续时间为两年，在此期间，将在Creavo研究总部和谢菲尔德大学的测试设施中的正在评估的Creavo设备中试验专门的噪音去除技术。我们还将探索使用专门的振动测量硬件，并探索在Creavo制造的商业单元中实施开发的方法的可能性。

Creavo Medical Technologies make magnetocardiographs, devices for detailed modelling of the heart of patients presenting with symptoms consistent with heart disease.We propose a collaborative research project with Creavo, that utilises existing expertise in signal processing, vibration isolation, vibration measurement, and dynamic tracking of sine wave components of data, to try and improve the filtering of background noise in the hospital environment found to affect Creavo devices. This expertise was gained whilst the Sheffield group was working on instrument science in connection with the LIGO gravitational wave detectors, and thus this project represents technology transfer from LIGO (with STFC support) to a UK owned and located SME. This project has the potential to impact heart patients worldwide, to help a strong British business, and to achieve impact from STFC-funded, nominally ' blue skies ' University research.The proposed duration of the project is two years, during which specialised noise removal techniques will be tried in Creavo units under evaluation in test facilities at Creavo's research headquarters, and also at the University of Sheffield. We will also explore the use of specialised vibration measurement hardware and explore possibilities for the implementation of the developed methods in commercial unites manufactured by Creavo.
