Accuracy of an Armband Heart Rate Monitor

Accuracy of the Polar S810i(TM) Heart Rate Monitor and the Sensewear Pro Armband(TM) to Estimate Energy Expenditure of Indoor Rowing Exercise in Overweight and Obese Individuals.

Accurately assessing the energy expenditure (EE) of different types of physical activity is important for exercise prescription in obese individuals. The aim of this study was to examine the accuracy of the Polar S810i Heart Rate Monitor and SenseWear Pro Armband (SWA) for estimating energy expenditure (EE) during indoor rowing versus indirect calorimetry (IC). 43 overweight and obese adults (1...

Microcontroller Based Heart Rate Monitor

This paper describes the development of a heart rate monitor system based on a microcontroller. It offers the advantage of portability over tape-based recording systems. The paper explains how a single-chip microcontroller can be used to analyse heart beat rate signals in real-time. In addition, it allows doctors to get the heart beat rate file of the patient by email every twenty four hours. I...

Intelligent Pillow for Heart Rate Monitor

The aim of the project is to develop intelligent pillow to monitor the heart rate by using fiber optical sensor. The research is focused upon allowing more automation of patient care, an especially important matter for the elder population or bedridden patients, which is a rapidly growing fraction of much of the world population today. The fiber-optical sensor is built into pillow. Patients can...

Heart Rate Monitor and Electrocardiograph Fundamentals

This application note demonstrates fundamental implementations of the cost effective heart hate monitor (HRM) and electrocardiograph (ECG or EKG) devices using Freescale products. The heart rate monitor is implemented on a low cost MC9RS08KA2 ultra low-end 8-bit microcontroller using an analog comparator module (ACMP) and standard IO pins. The electrocardiograph is implemented on the MC9S08JM60...
