We got a new ECG sensor to play with this week. The new sensor can be worn on the fingertip or clipped onto someone's earlobe. The signal from the new sensor is clearer than the signals we were working with before. After connecting the new sensor, we worked on filtering the signals we got from it. The signals we got from the new sensor were erratic and all over the place at first. After we wrote code to filter the signals, the new sensor worked better than the previous one we used in terms of portability and signal clarity. We are now looking through the software that came with the new pulse sensor to find a way to calculate the peaks and troughs of the signals.
We also started writing the final report draft in lab. We hope to finish the report and have the heart monitor able to find the peaks and lows of a heart rate by the end of this week. If we have time this week, we will work on the app and get the device to detect irregularities in a user's heart rate.
