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.
