[Paper]: «Data Analysis Software»

[90.8.3]: Quinton Q-tel RMS telemetry system

[90.8.4]: Off-line R-wave detection, Kubios HRV tool

[90.8.5]: Quinton Q-tel RMS telemetry system

[90.8.6]: Counting the number of R-peaks during 60 s

[90.10.1]: medilog AR12 plus ECG Holter device analysis software:

  • Fire of Life software analyzes and displays HRV
  • MARS ambulatory Holter ECG analysis system
  • Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analyzes beat-to-beat time intervals of the heart rate
  • AR12 plus ECG Holter device & software $ 1’700.00

Alternatives:

1. iWorx ECG software

  • for humans and animals
  • 6 lead ECG, 12 lead ECG
  • Measures multiple physiological parameters
  • 1000 USD

2. Bitalino OpenSignals Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Add-on

  • process Electrocardiography (ECG) and Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) sensor data
  • extract Beat-to-Beat interval series
  • implemented according to the Standards of Measurement, Physiological Interpretation, and Clinical Use devised by the joint European Society of Cardiology and North American Society of Pacing Electrophysiology Task Force
  • reduces the amount of falsely detected R-peaks even when applied on ECG data containing significant motion artifacts and non-traditional electrode placement configurations
  • costs 400 USD

3. HeartPy: A novel heart rate algorithm for the analysis of noisy signals
