FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method for electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring of a subject is implemented using an ECG monitoring system. Wherein carrier signals (502) are emitted by capacitive sensors. Output signals conveying electrophysiological information of subject (504) are generated by the capacitive sensors. Coupling levels are determined for individual ones of the capacitive sensors based on generated output signals (506). Determination of coupling levels includes determining a capacitive sensor with the highest coupling level. Capacitive sensors are selected based on determined coupling levels (508). Selection of capacitive sensors is based on correlation coefficients between the output signals generated by the capacitive sensor having the highest coupling level and the output signals generated by other capacitive sensors. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is determined based on the generated output signals from selected capacitive sensors (510).
EFFECT: reliable ECG measurement motion-tolerant to limited motion of subject without stress, pain and/or discomfort associated with invasive procedures is achieved.
