Week 3 - Technology Project APPT 6212

14/03/14 (Fri)

Since we have decided to use heart rate detection as our technology project idea, and we need to apply this system into vehicle. First, we need to think and find out what makes the system work?


From lecturer's advice, we get some information about heart rate and Electrocardiography (ECG). ECG is the recording of the electrical activity of the heart, it can be displayed in a diagram form and it called Electrocardiogram. Obviously ECG it can checks a lot of symptoms of condition from our heart and body, also it can determines what kind of heart disease.



However heart rate just the recording the heart beat from pulse to pulse, can it determines about heart problem or someone is drowsy? This is the first question that we need to figure out, because if heart rate can tell you those informations, the system will be installed easily in vehicle. Besides, it is difficult to install the system in vehicle if we needed to use ECG technology.
