Heart beat data processing

Firstbeat Technologies Ltd. has developed analysis technology that provides comprehensive information on human body functions and states on the basis of one input signal, heart beat data.

Heart beat data refers to the time intervals between consecutive heart beats as measured in milliseconds and is also known as R-R interval series or heart period series.

The following schema illustrates the use of Firstbeat heart beat data processing modules to create more data and applications from one single input signal, heart beat data. When integrated into application product, the outputs enable significant benefits for users in sports and exercise, weight management and stress monitoring.

Firstbeat physiological engine

The capacity of our solution to deliver advanced functionalities and data on the basis of recorded heart beat signal is based on an advanced computational model that .draws a model. of the user.s body functions from heart beat data.

The solution may be compared to graphics engines that perform calculations on the basis of Newtonian physics: Starting from the heart beat data, the Firstbeat engine computes and creates a digital model of the human body by performing realistic calculations of body states according to the physiological principles of the body functions.

The model supports heart beat analysis applications in three general categories: exercise and training, weight management and stress monitoring. In all cases, only one physiological signal, heart beat interval, is required.
