Overview

The MSCardio Seismocardiography Dataset is an open-access dataset collected as part of the Mississippi State Remote Cardiovascular Monitoring (MSCardio) study. This dataset includes seismocardiogram (SCG) signals recorded from participants using smartphone sensors, enabling scalable, real-world cardiovascular monitoring without requiring specialized equipment. The dataset aims to support research in SCG signal processing, machine learning applications in health monitoring, and cardiovascular assessment.

See the GitHub repository of this dataset for the latest updates: https://github.com/TaebiLab/MSCardio

Background

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. SCG is a non-invasive technique that captures chest vibrations induced by cardiac activity and respiration, providing valuable insights into cardiac function. However, the scarcity of open-access SCG datasets has been a significant limitation for research in this field. The MSCardio dataset addresses this gap by providing real-world SCG signals collected via smartphone sensors from a diverse population.

Global Cloud Mobile Backend as a Service (BaaS) Market size was $3.0 Billion in 2022 and is slated to hit $7.3 Billion by the end of 2030 with a CAGR of nearly 24.1%.

The number of smartphone users in the Philippines was forecast to increase between 2024 and 2029 by in total 5.6 million users (+7.29 percent). This overall increase does not happen continuously, notably not in 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029. The smartphone user base is estimated to amount to 82.33 million users in 2029. Notably, the number of smartphone users of was continuously increasing over the past years.Smartphone users here are limited to internet users of any age using a smartphone.

Mobile devices connected to the internet are vulnerable to targeted attacks and security threats. In December 2023, the number of global mobile cyberattacks was approximately 5.4 million, up by 147 percent compared to December 2022. Cyberattacks targeting mobile devices have been decreasing since the end of 2020, after experiencing an annual peak of almost 6.4 million in October 2020. Mobile concerns: Smishing While mobile operating systems come with vulnerabilities requiring patching and regular maintenance, watchful usage can reduce the risk for users of incurring security threats. Smishing attacks are especially reliant on users’ accidental mistakes or naivety. Smishing, or SMS phishing, uses text messages to lure users into accessing fake websites requesting personal data, or into clicking on malicious download links that could infect the device with malware. In the first quarter of 2024, AdWare and RiskTool were the most encountered types of mobile malware worldwide, while Trojan malware accounted for 11 percent of the total. Smishing attacks do not interest regular users alone, but can also target organizations and professionals. In 2023, it was found that the share of IT professionals and organizations targeted by smishing attacks was at 75 percent. Mobile app privacy According to a survey of global consumers carried out in August 2021, both Android and iOS users appeared equally keen to stop using an app if their privacy expectations were not met. Mobile apps have to collect different types of data for functionality purposes, including app diagnostic and device data for location-based services. However, mobile apps also collect other types of more personal user data, such as search history, browsing history, health data, and financial information. The data can be then used by the company that collected them in the first place (1st party data), or with entities that do not have a direct relationship with the users, and obtain data from the main tracking source (3rd party data). Social media apps, like other app categories, rely on acquiring 3rd party data from users for their advertisement business. As of February 2022, TikTok was found to have the highest number of potential 3rd party trackers, followed by Telegram, and Twitter.

The number of mobile broadband connections in the Philippines was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2029 by in total 18.3 million connections (+20.46 percent). After the ninth consecutive increasing year, the number of connections is estimated to reach 107.69 million connections and therefore a new peak in 2029. Mobile broadband connections include cellular connections with a download speed of at least 256 kbit/s (without satellite or fixed-wireless connections). Cellular Internet-of-Things (IoT) or machine-to-machine (M2M) connections are excluded. The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI). The KMI are a collection of primary and secondary indicators on the macro-economic, demographic and technological environment in up to 150 countries and regions worldwide. All indicators are sourced from international and national statistical offices, trade associations and the trade press and they are processed to generate comparable data sets (see supplementary notes under details for more information).Find more key insights for the number of mobile broadband connections in countries like Vietnam and Laos.

According to a survey conducted by the Mobile Ecosystem Forum from November to December 2019, the highest penetration rate among smartphone users was in the age group of 16 to 24 years, with 37 percent. This was followed by the users between 24 and 35 years old. Older Indians surveyed had a lower penetration rate for smartphone usage.

 Baby boomers to millennials – smartphone addiction

Smartphones, once a status symbol has now become a common product in the country due to disposable incomes, faster lifestyle, and the necessity to stay connected. Also, an open operating system and low data rates have fueled this growth. In India, increased availability of content across various genres, regional languages, and communicating over social media and different applications led to an increased usage of smartphones.

Smartphone pricing in the country

The Indian smartphone market was dominated those that cost below 20,000 Indian rupees. This was evident from the share of the leading smartphone models in the country. Even though Apple dominated mobile markets worldwide, India had a different story. Though iPhones led in the premium segment, its share in the overall smartphone market remained near negligible. The smartphone market in the country was saturated with high competition, forcing companies to work on wafer-thin margins. Around 30 major smartphone brands were vying for their spotlight in the Indian smartphone market.

The smartphone penetration in the Philippines was forecast to continuously decrease between 2024 and 2029 by in total 6.4 percentage points. According to this forecast, in 2029, the penetration will have decreased for the fourth consecutive year to 65.75 percent. The penetration rate refers to the share of the total population.The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI).
