Researchers from the University of Calgary found that a 3-lead ECG device based on the OpenBCI Cyton board can be used for HRV measurements instead of an industry-standard 3 lead ECG device from Adinstruments and costs only about 4%

“The validity and reliability of an open source biosensing board to quantify heart rate variability”:

Conclusion

«With proper background knowledge regarding ECG principles and a small degree of set-up complexity, an open source cyton board can be created and employed to perform multimodal HRV assessments at a fraction of the cost (~4%) of an industry-standard ECG setup.»

This paper is not written by students of the University of Calgary to joke about the high costs of Adinstruments devices. We can see that all of the authors are serious scientists which are listed on Google Scholar, and some of them have written lot of papers:

• We suggest the following OpenBCI Cyton WIFI module also for 3 lead ECG devices:

Are you a YouTube video maker looking for a new topic? We suggest: “issue-free OpenBCI WIFI shield tested by independent reviewer”

• A test that it works would be helpful. www.OpenBCI.com does not offer a WIFI shield. This one is available and the description says it is updated an tested.
• If you have tested this one and can confirm that it works would be very helpful.
• we can find a WIFI shield sold by this Ebay seller which says it is issue free. If you are looking for an issue free WIFI shield, we know no other option where to buy it which is better.
