Measuring heart rate variability: a comparison of devices

Abstract

Conducted by the Dysphagia Research Lab, Department of Speech Language Pathology. Proposed research is required to provide a comparison on the accuracy and efficiency of heart rate measurement devices. Results will allow for the improved collection of heart rate data in a series study relating to the alteration of the afferent limb of the gag reflex via a hand-glove device (in terms of autonomic response).
