This study aimed to develop a modular smart clothing system for heart rate monitoring that reduces the inconvenience caused by battery charging and the large size of measurement devices. The heart rate monitoring system was modularized into a temporary device and a continuous device to enable heart rate monitoring depending on the requirement. The temporary device with near-field communication (NFC) and heart rate sensors was developed as a clothing attachment type that enables heart rate monitoring via smart phone tagging when required. The continuous device is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication and batteries and was developed to enable continuous heart rate measurement via a direct connection to the temporary device. Furthermore, the temporary device was configured to connect with a textile electrode made of a silver-based knitted fabric designed to be located below the pectoralis major muscle for heart rate measurement. Considering the user-experience factors, key functions, and the ease of use, we developed an application to automatically log through smart phone tagging to improve usability. To evaluate the accuracy of the heart rate measurement, we recorded the heart rate of 10 healthy male subjects with a modular smart clothing system and compared the results with the heart rate values measured by the Polar RS800. Consequently, the average heart rate value measured by the temporary system was 85.37, while that measured by the reference device was 87.03, corresponding to an accuracy of 96.73%. No significant difference was found in comparison with the reference device (T value = -1.892, p = .091). Similarly, the average heart rate measured by the continuous system was 86.00, while that measured by the reference device was 86.97, corresponding to an accuracy of 97.16%. No significant difference was found in terms of the heart rate value between the two signals (T value = 1.089, p = .304). The significance of this study is to develop and validate a modular clothing system that can measure heart rates according to the purpose of the user. The developed modular smart clothing system for heart rate monitoring enables dual product planning by reducing the price increase due to unnecessary functions.

Heart sounds of patient's chest could be heard using an analog stethoscope. However, auscultation of a heart sound can be diagnosed differently by each doctor hearing it. Therefore the condition of each patient is determined by the subjective comments based on the hearing ability of a physician who has years of experience. In this paper, through analysis of heart sound and heart rate of the patient's condition, we will define minutely how to diagnose the condition of patient using a wireless digital stethoscope diagnostic system. And it is possible to perform an objective medical diagnosis by applying LCR (Level Crossing Rate) and to show the relationship of a disease using this system.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the change in weight and heart rate associated with the use of phentermine through meta-analysis based on the published literatures. Methods: Eight electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and five domestic databases were used to search the literature. Randomized controlled trials that evaluated the change in weight and heart rate with the use of phentermine compared with placebo were included in this study. The fixed-effect model weighted by the Mantel-Haenszel method was used in the meta-analysis, and the random-effects model was used when heterogeneity was present. Results: We included 12 studies comprising 677 patients. The change in weight observed with the use of phentermine (SMD = -1.37, 95% CI: -1.55, -1.19) was statistically significant compared with that observed with placebo. As per the subgroup analysis results, the change in weight by publication year, country, phentermine dosage, follow-up check was not heterogeneous. The change in heart rate observed with the use of phentermine (SMD = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.35, 0.92) was significant compared with that observed with placebo. Conclusions: Weight loss and increased heart rate were confirmed in phentermine compared with placebo.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sports massage in the recovery period after maximal exercise on heart rate(HR), oxygen uptake(OU), and blood lactate(BL) of ssireum players. The participants of this study were consisted of 24 ssireum players in university team(UT) and business team(BT). The first experiment had a rest recovery period for 20 minutes after the maximal exercise, and the second experiment gave a sports massage was performed the order of abdominal, waist and lower legs in a prone position for 20 minutes. The interaction effects of massage treatment and recovery period in HR showed a higher recovery ability in both the UT and BT when the massage treatment was given 10 minutes after recovery than when it was not given. The main effects of recovery period showed in all variables of HR, OU, and BL. The main effects of BL on massage treatment was significant low in both the UT and BT when the massage was given. And, the main effects of OU was significantly lower only in the BT. In conclusion, compared sports massage treatment on ssireum players after maximal exercise positively affected the recovery mechanism of HR, OU, and BL than the rest recovery method.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of treadmill exercise on the aerobic function of dance majors in their 20s. The subjects consisted of 10 female Korean dance majors in their 20s as an experimental group and 10 normal female college students as a control group, and both groups conducted treadmill gait training. Their heart rate recovery (HRR), maximal oxygen uptake (MOU), maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), and lactate recovery rate (LRR) were measured before and after the experiment. The comparison of changes in the subjects' aerobic function before and after the experiment showed that the experimental group gained more significant effects on HRR and LRR than the control group. Therefore, treadmill gait training may help Korean dance majors to improve their basic physical strength by enhancing their aerobic function, and the findings of this study are likely to provide basic data to support scientific exercise prescriptions.

음원은 개인의 감정변화에 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 객관적인 근거가 없어 어떤 자극원이 영향을 주는지 알 수가 없다. 사람은 감정은 실시간적으로 변한다. 그렇기 때문에 이것을 측정 할 수 있는 심전도 센서를 가지고 심박변화율을 측정하여 변화되는 자극을 측정 할 수 있다. 음악은 주파수로 이루어져 있으며 음악을 들을 때 동시에 여러 대역에서 음악이 나온다. 이러한 주파수의 변화와 심박의 변화를 분석하면 감정변화의 기반하는 특징을 알 수 있을 것이다. 이것의 기초 단계로 안정감을 주는 음악은 주파수 영역이 저음 영역으로 규칙적이고 반복적이며 파형의 변화가 없다. 저음영역에서 고음영역으로 변화 되는 음원을 사용하여 심박변화율을 살펴봄으로써 자극음원이 사람에게 영향을 끼치는지를 분석하였다.

Human heart rate can be used to measure exercise intensity as an important indicator. If heart rate can be predicted, exercise can be performed more efficiently by regulating the intensity of exercise in advance. In this paper, a FitRec-based prediction model is proposed for estimating running heart rate for users. Endomondo data is utilized for training the proposed prediction model. The processing algorithms for time-series data, such as LSTM(long short term memory) and GRU(gated recurrent unit), are employed to compare their performance. On the basis of simulation results, it was demonstrated that the proposed model trained with running exercise performed better than the model trained with several cardiac exercises.

본 연구는 수면 중 무구속적 방식으로 에어 베개에 부착한 PPG 센서에서 호흡 및 심박을 검출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 반사형 PPG 센서는 광원이 피부로 투과되어 혈관의 이완 및 수축 정도를 측정할 수 있다. 반사형 PPG 센서로부터 하드웨어 모듈을 통과한 생체 신호는 AD 변환되어 PC로 전송된다 PPG에서 검출된 분당 심박 수는 전송된 신호의 밸리점간의 시간 간격을 이용하여 추출하며 호흡 신호는 밸리점의 크기를 연결하여 추출하였다. 검출된 호흡 신호와 기준 호흡 신호간의 상관성을 확인하기 위해 기준신호로 호흡과 심박을 동시에 측정하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. PPG 센서로부터 획득한 심박 및 호흡 신호는 기준신호들과 높은 상관성을 가지며 호흡시 발생하는 움직임과 호흡 속도에 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

이 논문에서는 비접촉 방식의 심박 및 호흡 검출이 가능한 FFT를 이용하는 새로운 검출 방식의 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 FFT 방식은 주파수 도메인에서 필터링을 수행한 후 IFFT 후 특징점 추출 알고리즘을 수행하여 심박 및 호흡을 추출한다. 이 논문에서는 제안된 FFT 방식을 사용하여 기존의 FFT 방식과 달리 FFT를 한 후 주파수 영역에서 바로 심박수 및 호흡수를 추출할 수 있음을 제안한다.
