Webinars and Videos

• Estimating respiratory rate from the ECG and PPG
  This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in estimating RR from the ECG and PPG. It is intended to equip researchers with the knowledge and tools to translate this promising technology into patient benefit.
• Getting Started with the RRest Toolbox
  This video provides a demonstration of how to get started with the RRest Toolbox of Respiratory Rate Algorithms.

Project Presentations

The following presentations are available for download:

• An assessment of algorithms
  An introduction to the RRest project, with a focus on the assessment of RR algorithms reported in this publication. This presentation is designed for use in Journal Club settings. Originally presented at the University of Oxford. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.166525
• Extraction of respiratory signals from the ECG and PPG
  An overview of the assessment of factors influencing respiratory signals extracted from the ECG and PPG reported in this publication. This presentation is designed for use in Journal Club settings. Originally presented at the University of Oxford. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.400255
• The processes and benefits of sharing clinical data
  This talk considers the sharing of clinical trial data, using the RRest project as a case study. The typical processes of acquiring, managing and sharing clinical data are explained. The benefits of sharing data and tools are also highlighted. Originally presented at a Science and Engineering South event. The video of the original presentation is available here.
