Heart rate is a vital indicator of health and anaesthetic status. While it is often possible
to monitor heart rate using a pulse oximeter, there are many situations in which this is
not practical. There is therefore a need for a simple electrocardiogram (ECG) based
system. In experiments involving neural prostheses (i.e. bionic ears and bionic eyes),
stimulus artefact, from the electrical stimulation of neural tissue, is often orders of
magnitude large than the ECG signal, complicating the task of determining heart rate.
I will need to design and construct a simple ECG based heart rate system that will be able to function in the presence of stimulus artefact from a neural prosthesis.
'm not sure in how to start this project. I will really appreciate it if you guys could help me out with it.
