If you only need cardiac pulse rate, an optical pulse-oximeter type interface - but without the oximetry part - would be much simpler than an ECG system, and it doesn't need galvanic connection. If you need more than that, then ECG methods should suffice. Back in the 1970s, there was a lot of

Another thing they do in the rate algorithms is make sure each beat falls in accordance with the previous 3 or 4 beats. Sent from mobile On Feb 20, 2013, at 6:02 AM, Bob Camp li...@rtty.us wrote: Hi Actually I have the 70's beat by a decade in terms of playing with home made ECG gear….

Paul, I use a picPET (http://leapsecond.com/pic/) to measure heart rate and stability; the original 1PPS... The idea is simply to time-stamp every beat and then convert that raw data to rate or period or moving average rate, etc. /tvb (iPhone4) LA On Feb 19, 2013, at 4:58 PM, Paul Cianciolo

The most straightforward method these days would be a small microcontroller implementing a pulse width modulation digital to analog converter. The analog route is pretty easy though. A traditional charge or current pump can operate down to 30 Hz but will have an output ripple versus settling
