This article provides a helpful overview of popular ECG beat detectors (see p.1,668), and the performance of ECG beat detectors is assessed in this article and this article.
Arterial Blood Pressure Beat Detectors
Arterial blood pressure beat detector: A beat detector for use with the ABP signal, written by James Sun. Based on the code and algorithm developed by Wei Zong (ref: 1 ). In case of interest, my modified version is available here.
Photoplethysmogram (PPG) Beat Detectors
The PPG-beats toolbox contains several open-source PPG beat detectors.
