|  | Abstract | Electrocardiogram(ECG) is commonly used for diagnosis of cardiac | 
|  | rhythm. Variation in the heart rate and beat to beat interval is indicated | 
|  | by Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis, which plays an important role | 
|  | in the diagnosis of cardiac status. Patients in intensive care require | 
|  | continuous monitoring; however, it is impractical for a human to analyze | 
|  | such a large quantity of data for the diagnosis. An embedded system | 
|  | for real-time HRV analysis is desired for a more efficient and accurate | 
|  | diagnosis. This study used a Shimmer wireless body sensor platform to | 
|  | detect ECG signals from the human body. A nonlinear energy method | 
|  | was used to detect the R peak of QRS, and HRV analysis was | 
|  | performed based on statistical measures. A MATLAB program was | 
|  | developed to compute R peak and HRV indexes. The proposed | 
|  | embedded system can be used for real time HRV analysis. |
