ECG vs MS Band 2 dataset

Introduction

This dataset contains a small experiment designed to analyse the error present in Inter Beat Intervals (IBI) reported by the MS Band 2 wearable devices, using an ECG chest strap as ground truth.

This dataset contains PPG and ECG data of 4 subjects (1 additional subject is kept away from the dataset, to be used as test set), every subject was asked to:

  • be as still as possible for 10 minute;
  • climb up and down a ramp of stairs for 10 minutes;
  • be as still as possible for 10 minutes;
  • move freely for 10 minutes.

The sensors used are:

  • Microsoft Band v2 (PPG and Accelerometer)
  • RR data from a Polar H10

Data format

Data is organised in folders, one folder for each subject. Each folder contains 5 text files:

  • ECG.csv: this file contains the RR intervals from the ECG chest strap, it contains 2 columns: timestamp and value. timestamp is the moment when the RR was received by the app from the band; value is the RR.
  • ACC.csv: this file contains the accelerometer data from the Microsoft Band 2, it contains 4 columns: timestamp, x, y, z. timestamp is the moment when the data was received by the app; x, y, and z are the accelerometer data.
  • PPG.csv: this file contains the PPG data from the MS Band 2, it contains 2 columns: timestamp and value. timestamp contains the moment in time at which the IBI was received by the app from the band; value contains the IBI duration. Important: the MS Band 2 sends data over bluetooth, and doesn't send the IBI immediately. As a consequence the timestamp should not be used as a strict indication of when the heartbeat happened, only approximately.
  • sections.csv: this file contains 2 columns: offset and section. Offset contains the starting time of the section, in seconds, since the beginning of the experiment; section contains the name of the section.
  • offset.csv: this file contains the estimated difference in time between timestamps from PPG and from ECG, useful to align the two time series.
