Summary, Conclusions, And Recommendations

Summary

The objective of this research is to develop a gadget with an androidbased mobile app that provides real-time display of a users heart rate and
stress condition. Underlying principles and technologies used for the project
are specified in Chapter 1. Specifications of the brainwave and pulse sensor
which creates the project gear are detailed and described as to discourse the
content of the hardware circuitry.
Chapter 2 contains works, studies and principles that becomes the
basis of the creation of the project. The researchers make use of the
gathered information to generate the desired gear.
The researchers programmed a microcomputer which enables a
connection between the brainwave reader and a pulse sensor to an android
app. The prototype aims to establish a signal from the sensors to display the
heart rate and stress level of the users.
Upon the completion of the prototype, it was tested based on the
Evaluation Criteria that were specified in Chapter 3: Testing and Pulse Rate

Sampling. These are necessary to measure and prove the functionality of the
created device.

Conclusion

The gadget provided heart rate reading and stress condition displayed
from an android application. Its android-based app cater both what EEG and
ECG readings supplies. Combination of a hearts performance and neuro
activity presents better accessibility and mobility for users. It can be used to
monitor stress and heart rate anytime and anywhere. Having a gadget that
gives both results of HRV and stress is more favourable to use rather than
having ECG and EEG tests in hospitals separately.
The use of brainwaves to monitor stress level is possible through a
condition that is set to notify through text message a recommendation aid
for the patient; making it a gadget for safety. The mobile app contains the
record of normal reading of every patient user.
Due to the mobile-app setting of text notification, those with critical
heart condition can immediately ask assistance whenever they experience
any irregularity in heartbeat even without directly calling their physician. The
app directly sends message to an attending physician or family member
whenever set condition exceeds normal.

Recommendations

Based on the result of the tests and the data gathered throughout this
research, the researchers came up with the following recommendations:

Aside from notification, the gadget may play classical music to reduce

ones stress.

To provide better speed for connection and for wireless communication,

a Wi-Fi module may be used.

Develop the heart rate monitoring using purely neuro activitiy or

brainwave.
