| 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. |
