Chest surface motion is of significant importance as it contains information of respiratory and cardiac systems along with the complex coupling between these two systems. It is not only critical in radiotherapy, but also useful in personalized health systems for continuous cardiorespiratory monitoring.

In this dataset, a multimodal setup is employed to simultaneously acquire cardiorespiratory signals. These signals include high-density trunk surface motion (from 16 distinct locations) with VICON motion capture, nasal breathing from thermal sensor, respiratory effort from strain belt and electrocardiogram in lead-II configuration. This dataset can not only be used for evaluating prediction algorithms for radiotherapy applications, but also can be employed for developing techniques to evaluate the cardiomechanics and hemodynamic parameters from chest surface motion in wearable/home monitoring applications.
