The advantage of this device is that it automatically stores the data and has a built-in detection algorithm for heartbeats. Compared to a clinical ECG, this device entails a serial interface that can send triggers via USB directly to a computer and software (e.g. Unity, Matlab) with minimal delay due to its architecture. Its software and hardware is open-source and publicly available. The performance of the device regarding sensitivity and specificity is comparable to a professional clinical ECG and is assessed in this paper. Due to the open-source software, a variety of different research questions and individual alterations can be adapted using this ECG. The code as well as the circuit is publicly available and accessible for everyone to promote a better health system in remote areas, Open Science, and to boost scientific progress and the development of new paradigms that ultimately foster innovation.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.00513v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.00513v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-arduino-based-heartbeat-detection-device","repo_url":"https://github.com/nalgi/pan-tompkins_qrs-detector_and_datalogger","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"specificity","task_name":"Specificity"},{"task_slug":"unity","task_name":"Unity"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
