Biosignal Architecture

Two modalities. Purely on-device.

PulseTrace extracts cardiovascular and respiratory rhythms without external accessories. Frames and audio buffers are processed entirely in volatile memory and discarded immediately after computation.

Contact PPG Heart Rate

  • Spatial 6-ROI color extraction tracking hemoglobin absorption
  • 3-way consensus engine combining Welch FFT periodograms, autocorrelation, and peak intervals
  • Hysteretic 4-sample stability gate ensuring consistent readings before locking

Optical Flow Respiration

  • Sub-pixel 2D Lucas-Kanade optical flow tracking 6 dynamic thoracic patches
  • Handheld tremor subtraction using face-anchored reference motion
  • Dual-modality acoustic energy envelope fusion with agreement validation

Local-First & Private

  • Frames and audio samples never touch persistent storage or network interfaces
  • Honest quality rejection when lighting or motion is unstable
  • Direct integration with LastDose through secure on-device intent routing

Active Alpha. Personal wellness and measurement software, not a clinical medical device.

How PulseTrace maintains measurement integrity.

Signal processing decisions designed to reject noise rather than fabricate numbers.

Three-Way Harmonic Consensus

Heart rate estimation simultaneously executes three mathematical models: Welch spectral FFT density, normalized lag autocorrelation, and beat-to-beat running median MAD peak filtering. An octave-correction layer prevents 2x harmonic errors before a weighted consensus requires 4 consecutive stable samples across 1,800 ms.

Handheld Tremor Compensation

When measuring breathing with the front camera, natural hand tremor causes global movement. PulseTrace anchors a high-frequency tracking reference to the user’s face, filters the translation, and subtracts it from the chest patches to isolate pure thoracic expansion.

Acoustic Envelope Validation

Respiration rate pairs optical motion tracking with 16 kHz PCM audio energy analysis. When both sensors agree within 4 breaths/min, confidence is boosted. If acoustic and optical estimators conflict, the reading is rejected with guidance to stabilize.

LastDose Integration Contract

PulseTrace provides direct interoperability with LastDose via standard Android intents (ACTION_SEND_VITAL). Completed, validated measurements are routed seamlessly into personal medication and wellness logs without third-party cloud bridges.

Clear Boundaries

PulseTrace is a personal wellness tool, not a medical device.

PulseTrace is built for personal measurement, fitness tracking, and biosignal experimentation. It does not provide clinical diagnosis, disease detection, patient monitoring, or medical guarantees.
