Mobile energy expenditure tracking system based on heart rate and motion providing extra extensions for personalized care
In order to keep a healthy body it is very important to have balanced energy expenditure (EE). The proposed system utilized the phonocardiogram (PCG) and motion from the user to generate the heart rate. The heart rate has been deemed as a very reliable index to estimate the EE of human body. Efforts are put on developing our system to deal the situations when severe interference coupled into the system while the user is exercising. Accelerometer is used to get the motion status and also the posture of the user which is monitored to determine any anomaly. If anomaly is detected, the system actively issues notification to whom that might give back a timely aid.
