Paper Title
Proposal Of An HRV Measurement And Analysis System In Comparison To Available Products
Abstract
There is no question the world is filled with health
monitoring devices that rely on Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
measurement and analysis to conclude health state. Most of
these devices are marketed for sport or stress monitoring instead
of health to bypass some of the restrictions of the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA. This paper conducts a comparison between
the available devices; this comparison is based on the device
capabilities. As a result, a new HRV measurement and analysis
product is proposed to address the shortcomings of those devices
and refocus the interest on instantaneous, continuous and secure
monitoring as opposed to the current focus on sampling rate and
resolution. The novelty of the proposed product is in the secure
communication of between the device and the analyzing server
where it relies on cellular networks (3G) or Wi-Fi for data
transmission, it is also meant to meet the FDA regulations
presented in the introduction. The importance of this discussion
is manifested in the possibilities that could be realized with
refocusing the devices and reprioritizing the specifications.
