Quick Start

Activity Analysis - ENMO

from physiodsp.activity.enmo import ENMO, ENMOSettings
from physiodsp.sensors.imu.accelerometer import AccelerometerData

# Create accelerometer data
accel_data = AccelerometerData(
    timestamps=timestamps,
    x=x_values,
    y=y_values,
    z=z_values,
    fs=64  # 64 Hz sampling frequency
)

# Initialize and run ENMO algorithm
enmo = ENMO(settings=ENMOSettings(window_len=1, aggregation_window=60))
result = enmo.run(accel_data)

# Get results
print(result.biomarker)  # DataFrame with timestamps and ENMO values
result.aggregate(method='mean')  # Aggregate results

ECG Peak Detection

from physiodsp.ecg.peak_detector import EcgPeakDetector
from physiodsp.sensors.ecg import EcgData

# Create ECG data
ecg_data = EcgData(
    timestamps=timestamps,
    values=ecg_values,
    fs=250  # 250 Hz sampling frequency
)

# Initialize and run peak detector
detector = EcgPeakDetector()
result = detector.run(ecg_data)

# Get heart rate and inter-beat intervals
print(result.biomarker)  # DataFrame with RR intervals and heart rate

Balance Test - Sway

from physiodsp.balance_tests.sway import Sway, SwaySettings
from physiodsp.sensors.imu.accelerometer import AccelerometerData

# Create accelerometer data (X = medio-lateral, Z = antero-posterior)
accel_data = AccelerometerData(
    timestamps=timestamps,
    x=x_values,  # medio-lateral axis
    y=y_values,  # vertical axis
    z=z_values,  # antero-posterior axis
    fs=50  # 50 Hz sampling frequency
)

# Initialize and run sway algorithm
sway = Sway(settings=SwaySettings(filter_order=4, filter_high_freq=2.5))
result = sway.run(accel_data, sensor_height=1.0)  # sensor height in meters

# Get stabilometric indices and ellipse metrics
print(result.biomarker)

HRV Scoring

from physiodsp.hrv.hrv_score import HrvScore, HrvScoreSettings
from physiodsp.sensors.hrv import HrvData

# Create HRV data (RMSSD values)
hrv_data = HrvData(
    timestamps=timestamps,
    values=rmssd_values
)

# Calculate HRV score
hrv = HrvScore(settings=HrvScoreSettings(window_len=30, method="sigmoid"))
result = hrv.run(hrv_data)

# Get HRV score (0-100)
print(result.biomarker_agg)  # DataFrame with HRV score
