Abstract
Most off-the-shelf wearable devices do not provide reliable synchronization interfaces, causing multi-device sensing and machine learning approaches, e.g. for activity recognition, still to suffer from inaccurate clock sources and unmatched time. Instead of using active online synchronization techniques, such as those based on bidirectional wireless communication, we propose in this work to use the human heartbeat as a reference signal that is continuously and ubiquitously available throughout the entire body surface. We introduce PulSync, a novel approach that enables the alignment of sensor data across multiple devices utilizing the unique fingerprint-like character of the heart rate variability interval function. In an evaluation on a dataset from 25 subjects, we demonstrate the reliable alignment of independent ECG recordings with a mean accuracy of -0.71±3.44 samples, respectively -2.86±11.43 ms at 250 Hz sampling rate.
