The project’s objective is to develop a chest strap mounted device that detects heart rate, then transmits data via Wi-Fi to the cloud and displays it on a smartphone. The team developed an app that receives analytical data from the cloud and allows the user to see heart rate, exertion level, and heart rate variability. Users can view previous workouts on the app and compare them to their most recent workout, as well as viewing multiple users’ signals simultaneously. This would make the app ideal for an athletic coach, who could monitor an entire team, both on the scene and remotely, and study all team members simultaneously.
