A Final-Year Group Research Paper on a Real-Time Simultaneous ECG-PCG Acquisition System has been Accepted to IEEE EMBC 2026

A paper authored by Avishka Herath, Malith Jayalath, Kumudu Kaushalya, and Sanjana Kapukotuwa has been accepted for publication at the 48th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC 2026). The project was co-supervised and mentored by Dr. Chamira U. S. Edussooriya, Dr. Wageesha N. Manamperi, Dr. Duminda Samarasinghe, Kithmin Wickremasinghe, Chathuni Wijegunawardena, and Pahan Mendis.

The research, titled “A Simultaneous ECG-PCG Acquisition System with Real-Time Burst-Adaptive Noise Cancellation,” outlines the implementation of an end-to-end system with a novel real-time adaptive noise cancellation pipeline integrated into a device that simultaneously acquires ECG and PCG signals. Ultimately, this system holds the potential to be a valuable tool for enabling more reliable cardiac assessments in both clinical and low-resource environments, and expanding affordable community screening for pre-existing heart diseases.

EMBC is recognized globally as the premier conference for biomedical engineering, with an h5-index of 47. This publication highlights a significant accomplishment for the university in advancing biomedical research.

The hardware resources and design costs were funded by Voex Technologies. The team also extends their special thanks to the staff of Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children, Sri Lanka, for their support in facilitating the clinical aspects of the research.
