How Heart Rate Monitor Works?
Video taken from the channel: Factissa
Heart rate monitors generally come in two types — either a wireless chest strap that sends data to a monitor worn on the wrist, or pulse monitor worn on the wrist that requires you to.A heart rate monitor (HRM) is a device you wear to measure and display your heart rate continuously. Electrode sensors in a chest strap detect each heartbeat and transmit the data to a receiver display such as a watch, fitness wearable, or phone app.
A heart rate monitor consists of two parts a transmitter attached to a belt worn around the chest, and a receiver worn on the wrist like a watch. As the heart beats, an electrical signal is transmitted through the heart muscle in order for it to contract. This electrical activity can be detected through the skin.Optical heart rate measurement uses light to measure tissue changes at the sensor’s location caused by blood circulating throughout the body. As your heart beats, this volume changes, and high blood volume causes less light to return to the optical sensor, whereas low volume increases the amount of returning light.
Similar to how we covered the tech for the Apple Watch heart rate monitor, let’s give a quick breakdown to how pretty much all wrist-based heart rate monitoring works. Photoplethysmography.Unlike chest strap heart rate monitors which closely emulate a real EKG machine by measuring electrical pulse these devices use light to track your blood. By illuminating your capillaries.Similarly to the heart rate trackers built into most fitness wearables, apps on your phone can measure your heart rate by detecting changes in blood volume below the skin’s surface a practice.
Much more than a heart rate monitor, the Wahoo Tickr X doubles as a run tracker, works indoors and out, and even counts reps during strength training. Pros Thinner, lighter, and better battery.Using heart rate monitor can sometimes come inaccurate or doesn’t work. In this article, we give you four tips to make sure that your heart rate monitoring system in your bike work correctly as aspect and last with the machine for a long time.The heart rate sensor uses infrared (IR) and visible-light LEDs (light-emitting diodes) and photodiodes to detect your heart rate — measured in beats per minute (BPM).
The average heart rate is 72 BPM, but when you start your workout and your muscles need more oxygen, your heart beats faster to pump oxygen-filled blood throughout your body.Optical heart-rate monitors are the most common pulse sensors in wearables. Most of them glean heart-rate data through “photoplethysmography” (PPG), or the process of using light to measure blood.Heart Rate MonitorsMonitoring your heart rate is an important part of any training program. Heart rate (HR) monitors help you decide when to speed up and whe.
A chest strap heart rate monitor typically measures your pulse via electrical signals and sends the data to a connected device, such as your smartphone. On the other hand, wrist-based monitors, such as an Apple Watch, detect the blood pulsing through your veins with the help of its optical heart rate sensors.Currently, using an optical heart rate monitor on the wrist just isn’t as accurate as using one on the fingertip or on the chest. The chest-worn models more closely mimic an EKG machine. Basis.
Types of Heart Rate Monitors. Chest-strap HRMs: A wireless sensor on a chest strap detects your pulse electronically and sends that data to a wristwatch-style receiver, which displays your heart rate. Once you get used to the routine of putting on the heart rate monitor chest strap and working out with it on, a strap will provide the most accurate heart-rate results.

Have you heard about a device called Whoop Strap? It’s using green lights in its sensors and looks like it’s pretty accurate.
Can you guys do a video on why each model of Intel CPU has multiple versions?
How do you make these videos?
I mean the animation stuff.
BTW they are all awesome.
Love it
Hi Dr Matthews, I use a Polar T31-Coded chest strap with my Galileo Sol scuba diving computer. I dive with it both in a dry suit and a wet suit. Today my heart beat reading seemed way off the charts; it started out reading 67 to 71 bpm then it jumped to between 195 and 205 bpm while very slowly swimming along the bottom. I surfaced to see if I could notice anything wrong. Instantly on the surface, the heart rate monitor dropped to 60 to 65. I dropped to the bottom (8-ft deep), and it instantly went up to 195 to 200 bpm. I repeated this surfacing three times before aborting the dive. My dive buddy, a fireman, thought either I wasn’t wearing my strap correctly or that there was a malfunction in the computer. I have dove with this system for four-years with no problem until now. The dive computer battery is full, and the computer works perfectly. I have been diving for 45-years. I am considered a high-end athlete when I am tested at the hospital. I do between 13 to 15 METs on the stress test. My blood pressure is usually 118 over 79, and my heart rate is usually 60 bpm at the doctor’s office. My PCP reluctantly told me 133 bpm is the top end for me. My cardiologist will not give me that answer, and the two cardiac nurses I dealt with refused to tell me the top end bpm. I have no damage to my heart. I am told my heart is “perfect” when they do echocardiograms on me. I wear the strap over my solar plexus with the strap touching my lower pectorals; there is a gap between my solar plexus and the strap that I can place my finger underneath. Is it time for a new chest strap or a new dive computer?
Tim Hortons? Canada? Look, mate, Buffalo is as addicted as Alberta when it comes to Timmy Ho’s. Don’t forget us!
Does you have to turn the GPS on the count step and calories
Does a HR monitor detect the P,Q,R,S or T signal of the heart beat?
LPT: Try to do 100 squats, 100 crunches/sit ups, and 10km of walking or biking a day, and you’ll see great improvement.
They fucking don’t. They’re literally the most quickly abandoned technology since the tamagotchi.
i don’t know why, but monitors that use electrical impedance just plain don’t work. the data always ALWAYS just looks like raw input from an accelerometer. no problem with the ones that use light, though.
Fitness trackers have a long way to go, cant comment about the higher priced ones. Its a known thing that a person can cheat, number of steps and heart rate. It would be great device to have as technology advances and pricing drops, just not now.
FYI… Handphone have been proven to be more accurate. just that you dont have a heart-rate monitor. etc
So may I suggest you guys review the Empatica E4 wristband. And their embrace watch?
My moto 360 has the worst step tracking ever. I wore that and my friends Garmin vivoactive one day and my moto got about half the vivoactive
Those extra comments are terrible. What unfit person are you?
could you give your source for this video? I’m working on sth and need it
I have a fitness bracelet that i’ve bought in order to track my steps amount,my heart rate and.so on
In order for that device to work correctly, i need to sync between the bracelet and my smartphone, question is do i need to take my smartphone with me every time i go for a walk for tracking steps amount?
Thanks
Calories in/calories out doesn’t work anyway. The body adjusts its resting metabolic rate to account for extra calories coming in or being burned (or fewer on each). It takes a huge swing in either direction to affect your weight that way. The main advantage to exercise comes in different forms for different exercises.
Weight lifting and resistance training builds muscle, which increases your metabolic rate and your body’s ability to burn excess sugar quickly, as well as extra fat when your blood stream isn’t flooded with insulin. Walking and sprinting decreases your insulin resistance, decreasing the effect that an insulin response has on your weight gain.
I saw your videos yesterday!
And I really feel good after watching them. You really motivate us. Good luck
That was the oddest way I have ever heard “capillaries” pronounced.
Please make a video on the ‘Turtle beach Hypersound glass speakers’…
hey LMG could you do a quick explanation session on the types of processes like 16nm process,14 nm process etc what do these mean generally
In this day and age you gotta exercise and eat well to lose weight. As much as I wanna be skinnier, I’m not giving up food. Not worth it lol, I’ll just stick to working on exercising.
Lmao. I knew someone who said LOL after everything also. Hahaha YESS THATS FUNNY lmfaooooo
Thanx This really help as I was struggling to get my band to pick up my heart rate.
is that fitness tracker comparison video/comparison coming out soon?
My garmin forerunner + Endomondo is great:) Danish app! Anyway you won’t burn shit from doing running etc, all about food you eat…I dunno what my stats are, but like 500 KM running is what 50 burgers or some…nothing
Does this fitness tracker have 32GBs of RAM? Because my PC has 32GBd of RAM.
damn you poodlecorp. lol linustechtips getting hacked is really really really ironic.
Beautiful. Just the amount of information I needed. Thank you Mr Eric Fisher.
1:30. not realy. they dont messure how much blood its flowing, ther messure if its flowing or not (aka pulse). also they messure the oxygen level. witch isnt realy importand for fitness if ure not klimbing mount everest or suffer from COPD.
According to https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204666, the Apple Watch has both green lights and red lights (infrared), which it uses for periods of activity and rest, respectively. And starting with the Series 4 (released in 2018) it’s even got built-in electrodes. I’m sure it’s gotten even more accurate with the Apple Watch Series 5. It seems the technology is already quite advanced, and it would be interesting to know how it compares to your green light PPG and red light Biostrap.
this dude is exactly the person im glad that covered this theme, because i still think he looks like and dresses like some who really is for a gym. hes like ex-gym dude gone IT-nerd
Is all a gimmick…I eat twice as much calories around my family and I just sit on the computer all day, been the one with lower weight around the house by far (relatively, in good shape).
Most of my energy is burn inside my head and tension around my entire body muscle. There is no smartwatch that measure this to be honest but yeah, is nice to know how much you run when you go for a stroll I give them that. I always like those old school odometers back when I spend all my time on a bike.
In case you want to take a look at the New Series of Vlog programming stories, here they are in chronological order: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kpaMZBS5Gk&list=PLW9OHRctQ3VVWrBEGqPk9my6ALfN6PTei
My smartwatch measure blood pressure on a orange.:))))) SMARTWATCH = FAKE
Don’t forget that they cant really track how many calories you burn off doing strength training because the relationship between heart rate and calorie expenditure is different from that of doing cardio. So it will in the case of strength training overestimate how many calories you actually burn.
Polar T31 has the accuracy of ecg, but uses wearlink transmission to a Polar watch. Are you happy with Polar T31 and wearlink?
Polar H7 BLE chest strap has also an accuracy which is near to an ECG device, which was shown by the group of Milind Desai:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6732081/
Polar H7 uses BLE transmission, which can be connected the Android app a training tracker from Dr. Ing. Rainer Blind. A training tracker can record sensor data in data analysis software friendly.csv format.

What are other pain points in heart rate monitoring in a watch? Can improving optical efficiency or reducing power consumption at the LED help? Will VCSELs be preferable to LEDs?
What kind of fitness watch do you wear? Does it have a green or red light on the back of it?
Can PPG cause irritation, skin rash, etc.??? I get irritated skin from these watches that use heart rate monitors. LOL
Biostrap Best Fitness Tracker
https://youtu.be/pEtW2JiT7LI
So is it true thatt the Biostrap HRV/HR arm strap uses green light?
What if I take 2 min breaks in between?does it adjust accordingly
I’m thinking about getting a Biostrap. However, considering red light PPG is less accurate while body movements, will it affect my heart rate or other readings during a restless night of sleep? I tend to move a lot while in bed. Please advise.
5 minutes to say how does it measure your HR. I could explain it in ten seconds. It measures your pulse on your wrist
Who else came here for the: You got wrecked by poodlecorp m8″ comments?
they should make a taste detector that you put in your mouth so that when fast food is felt you get shocked ����
I have a heart rate monitor but the back is metal how does it monitor my heart rate
Garmin Vivioactive 4 does both green and red. Green for HR and Red for Pulse OX
Thanks, Matthews Evans for the tip with the conductive Gel for the chest strap. I m currently investigating the use of sports sensors for scientific purposes. I m doing it for fun and in my spare time, but the goal is to use those sensors for scientific purposes (meditation training and meditation research). Candidate sensors are the Polar H7 BLE sensor, Polar OH1 optical heart rate sensor, Bitalino low cost biomedial toolkit, and Scott Hardens, PhD sound card ecg. All of these sensors have an accuracy which is near to an ECG device. What is missing with those low-cost high qualitiy sensors are researchers interested in these sensors and software developers interested in developing software for it. Not much software developement needs to be done, but most software options are untested. I hope more and more researchers see the value of these sensors, and become interested in those:

What you talking about.. Vancouver doesnt have Tim Hortons… last time i went, finding a Tims was like finding a needle in a hay stack… the hay stack being Starbucks. xD
Where do they get the pictures for these videos? They all look the same.
wow this is at the moment most useless video. Maybe try few trackers first?
Polar H7 or Polar OH1 sensors can also be paired to Polar watches or to Garmin watches, an then synchronized over the internet to Polar or Garmin servers. But access of sensor raw data is difficult for instance in Garmin Connect. These two sensors are Bletooth smart (BLE) sensors which are compatible with many devices. My personally, I would not buy a Polar T31 anymore, the newer Polar sensors have BLE connectivity, which is a widely accepted standard.
Fresh books will keep you fresher, less stress, less sweat, less bad smell
Instead of a Polar T31, I also suggest to use a Polar OH1 optical heart rate sensor paired over BLE to a training tracker for scientific purposes. Polar OH1 is very comfortable to wear, has a battery life of up to 12 hours, and the accuracy of the Polar OH1 is near to an ECG device, which was published in this paper:

Hi doctor yo this is related to a comment I made on your biostrap video which you replied to, thank you very much. I wanted to go on and ask since you suggested taking manual HRV readings how many times a day would you suggest doing so to get comprehensive HRV patterns to better analyze the bodies reaction to stressors. I have an autoimmune disease called ankylosing spondylitis and bad sleep has a powerful impact on my Wellness as well as how quickly I can recover from exercise being able to see the patterns of how long it takes for me to properly recover is important to me and whether or not I’ve slept well. it seems that HRV can be a solid indicator of your bodies current state. I’m wondering if being a Restless sleeper is enough to throw off the HRV reading during the night
Thanks fitness tracker, I almost walked right into that volcano
I’m holding out for tri-corders from TNG.
I can’t imagine how useful it would be to know what minerals/vitamins/nutrients my body is actually lacking.
I always wondered about that green flashing light on my fitbit. What tracker has red light on it? I can’t seem to find one with red light.
Fitness trackers are a waste of money except for fitness enthusiasts and let’s be honest they’re the minority that go to the gym.
As a video about fitness to some degree, we may want to avoid extra grains of salt.
That is a criminal criminal law. What a corrupt company. Heart rate chest straps are much more accurate than watches
