==EHP - Emotion Heartbeat Project==
The "Emotion Heartbeat Project" is a project that will collect my heartrate as a datatype. This data will be displayed in a visual way with diagrams and create an emotional diary out of that. With an increased heartrate the heartrate monitor will ask for the cause of it to differentiate between positive and negative stress or sports activities.

Inspired by diverse links and Youtube videos the very first try to build it was to use IR Emitter and Detector. It didn't work that well: the sensors are pretty sensitive for moving action and the signal at processing was very faint.

THE EKG SENSOR
The selfmade sensor with the IR Emitter and Detector is very sensitive for any motion and movements of the finger being measured. So I tried out a EKG Sensor which displayed a higher resolution of the heartbeat on processing. There are 3 electrodes patches placed on the skin: One on the right wrist for the reference, one on right elbow for the negative alligator clip and one on the left elbow for the positive clip. The EKG Sensor is connected with the Arduino to Ground, 5V and Analog Input A0. The heartbeat is displayed with Processing.

EHP - Emotion Heartbeat Project

The "Emotion Heartbeat Project" is a project that will collect my heartrate as a datatype. This data will be displayed in a visual way with diagrams and create an emotional diary out of that. With an increased heartrate the heartrate monitor will ask for the cause of it to differentiate between positive and negative stress or sports activities.

First Ideas And Thoughts

  • Emotion Diary

  • Headphones

  • Heartrate Monitor

  • Decision Diagram

  • Manual Measurement

  • Collected Heartbeat-Data Within 1 Week

  • Heartrate Diagrams

One of my first ideas was to connect the heartrate monitor with headphones that would calm down my increased heartrate with music and vibrating sensors at my neck; showing picture 3 and 5. The decision diagram displays how this should work. But within this semester I will just build up the heartrate monitor itself.

Pic 6 shows a diagram displaying the whole week at a glance; Pic 7 shows the diagrams of each day in particular. (Unfortunately I couldn't get it work with a consistent scale for the heartrate.)

This was a pretty good thing to test but unfortunately it wasn't convenient for a design to wear it every day and take everywhere I go. In cause of that and diverse failed trys to make a sensor by my own, I decided to buy a device.


Realization

This device is a Data-Logger which goes with a chest strap: the chest strap measures the heartrate and the Data-Logger saves it every 2nd or each second. The saved values are collected in CSV-files which can be displayed with the program of the Data-Logger, shown with the images below.

The program of the Data-Logger to visualize the collected data is a pretty good way to have a quick view to the results of the measurements. But the CSV-files need to be cleaned of extreme and zero values which were saved in cause of disturbances between the connection of the chest strap and the Data-Logger.
