# Title:
Auricle: A Multimodal Wearable Sensing Dataset for Cardiovascular and Hemodynamic Assessment
-------------------------------------
# Description:
Auricle is a dataset comprising synchronous noninvasive cardiovascular signals collected from 42 healthy subjects (HC: Healthy Cohort) and 28 people with lived experience of heart failure (HFC: Heart Failure Cohort). Most participants in the healthy cohort completed two 30-minute sessions on different days. During each session, participants performed at least three types of activities to alter their cardiovascular function.
The dataset includes nine physiological channels including:
- Electrocardiography
- Phonocardiography
- Seismocardiography (IMU)
- Photoplethysmography (Finger)
- Photoplethysmography (Ear)
- Binaural In-Ear Cardiac Audio
- Continuous Arterial Pressure
- Respiratory Effort
Several derived hemodynamic channels are available including:
- Cardiac Output
- Stroke Volume
- Systemic Vascular Resistance
Two annotation types are also included as channels. These include:
- Activity-Annotations: Describes participant activity including stressors and rest.
- CNAP-System-Annotations: Any annotations generated by the CNAP device.
Finally demographic data is available. Some demographic data is only available for one of the two cohorts. These data include:
- All Cohorts
--- Height
--- Weight
--- Age
- Healthy Cohort Only
--- Sensor and body landmark position
- Heart Failure Cohort Only
--- Previous Myocardial Infarction
--- Previous Hypertension
--- Previous Diabetes Mellitus
--- Previous Atrial Fibrillation
--- Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
--- Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy
--- Heart Failure Aetiology
--- LV ejection fraction
--- NYHA Class
--- Medication Regimen
