Improvement of the Heart Rate Measurement During Sleep Periods

Abstract

Technology has helped men in various domains, especially in the medical field, many devices were made to prevent, diagnose or treat diseases. This research endeavors to ameliorate the method of resting heart rate measurement ECG-TMEA. The experiment aims at reaching accurate results on heart rate during sleep. The elements used are: the Shimmer3 Unit device and an algorithm. The Shimmer3 placed on the trunk muscles is utilized to measure the ECG and thediscrete wavelet decomposition algorithm is used to separate the ECG-Trunk muscle signal from the ECG. The sample used in the experiment is a healthy subject (body mass=90 kg, height=1.88m, age=34 years old). The experiment aims to study the three parameters (Heart rate, Acceleration and the ECG-TMS) in different sleep periods (stability periods and body movement periods). The results obtained from the data collected from the experiment showed that the use of ECG-TMS is a more accurate method to determine the reason behind the change in the heart rate.
