Key result
The WBSN-based Heartrate Monitoring System accurately recorded ECG data, with 99% of the readings from 40 healthy teenagers falling within the custom normal range.
Why the study?
To reduce fatal heart attack mortality and cardiovascular dysfunction through early detection using a portable, affordable, and accurate heartrate monitoring system.
Does a WBSN-based Heartrate Monitoring System accurately record and analyze heart rate spectrum and outliers in healthy young subjects?
Observational (n=40)

Does a WBSN-based Heartrate Monitoring System accurately record and analyze heart rate spectrum and outliers in healthy young subjects?
A low-cost, WBSN-based heart rate monitoring system successfully recorded and analyzed ECG data in healthy subjects, demonstrating its potential for remote cardiac monitoring.
May enable affordable home cardiac monitoring; leaves open clinical validation for mortality reduction.
A Heart is the vital organ of the body. According to the “world health statistics, 2017” by WHO, about 460,000 people die due to fatal heart attacks every year. To reduce the death rate due to fatal heart attacks and malfunctioning of the cardiovascular system, this paper proposed a Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) based, portable, easily affordable, miniatured, accurate “Heartrate Monitoring System (HMS)”. HMS can be used to regularly examine the cardiac condition at home or hospital to avoid or early detection of any serious condition. Heartrate Monitoring Algorithm (HMA) was designed to observe the spread heartbeat spectrum and worked at the backend of HMS. A case study was performed for forty healthy young subjects. Each subject data was computed for (sub) ̅-3S_d<sub<(sub) ̅+3S_d . All subjects’ 99% data lie in the custom range. The results produced by HMS was the same as the previous medical record of subjects.

Gandhi et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=40). Heartrate Monitoring System (HMS) was evaluated on Percentage of heart rate data lying within the custom range (mean ± 3SD). The WBSN-based Heartrate Monitoring System accurately recorded ECG data, with 99% of the readings from 40 healthy teenagers falling within the custom normal range.
