Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability of smartphone seismocardiography (SCG) and bed-based ballistocardiography (BCG) for detecting supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in children aged 0-10 years. The performance of these methods will be compared to the gold standard of continuous telemetry ECG recording.

Conditions

Supraventricular Tachycardia; Atrial Fibrillation (AF)

Keywords

Supraventricular Tachycardia; Atrial Fibrillation; Seismocardiography; SmartPhone

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Algorithm development for Seismocardiograph and Ballistocardiograph for detecting Supraventricular tachycardia

  Understanding and developing the algorithm to differentiate the supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and sinus rhythm subjects based on seismocardiography and ballistocardiography signals.

  2025-2027

Study Arms (2)

Study( SVT) Group

Children aged 0-10 years treated in the pediatric wards of Tyks Lighthouse Hospital with diagnosed or suspected supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).

Diagnostic Test: Smartphone seismographic recording and Bed Based Ballistocardiographic recordings

Control Group

Children aged 0-10 years treated in the pediatric wards of Tyks Lighthouse hospital who have not been diagnosed with SVT (i.e., have a normal sinus rhythm).

Diagnostic Test: Smartphone seismographic recording and Bed Based Ballistocardiographic recordings

Interventions

Smartphone seismographic recording and Bed Based Ballistocardiographic recordings DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

A short recording of heart rhythm using a smartphone and bed-based ballistocardiogram.

Control Group; Study( SVT) Group
