Key result
The proposed real-time ECG monitoring system for drivers demonstrated an average error of 1 BPM in the heart rate range of 50-100 BPM across 30 subjects.
Why the study?
Real-time ECG monitoring is needed for day care drivers because symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia and hypoxia can occur unexpectedly and lead to accidents.
Does a steering wheel-integrated ECG monitoring system accurately measure heart rate compared to a standard physiological monitor?
Does a steering wheel-integrated ECG monitoring system accurately measure heart rate compared to a standard physiological monitor?
A novel steering wheel-integrated ECG monitoring system can accurately measure heart rate with an average error of 1 BPM, potentially enabling real-time driver monitoring to prevent accidents.
This study focus for a driver in day care, real-time ECG monitoring is required, because symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia and hypoxia can occur unexpectedly. To prevent any cardiovascular problems unknown to a driver and to enhance care service and quality, in this system, the front-end sensor extracts the measured physiological signals from a driver's hand in the vehicle, subsequently wirelessly transmitting these signals to the Android system for processing. This research proposes a continue ECG monitoring system for transmitting ECG signals to Android mobile phones or tablets through Bluetooth transmission in vehicles. These signals are then uploaded to a cloud database, enabling health care physicians and nurses to instantly monitor and access ECG data. The system can effectively reduce the rate of accidents caused by drivers.

Wang et al. (2019) studied this question. Real-time ECG monitoring system vs. GE Datex-Ohmeda physiological monitor was evaluated on Heart rate measurement error. The proposed real-time ECG monitoring system for drivers demonstrated an average error of 1 BPM in the heart rate range of 50-100 BPM across 30 subjects.
