How to Build a Heart Rate Detector Using Arduino and MATLAB

In this project, see how to use a Heart and Brain SpikerShield Bundle along with a TFT Touch Shield and an Arduino^® to build a heart rate monitor. MATLAB^®, Simulink^®, and Fixed-Point Designer™ are used to show how you can implement filtering and heart rate detector algorithms on Arduino boards.

The workflow featured follows these steps:

1. Test the algorithm in MATLAB using test data
2. Test the algorithm on the Arduino using Simulink
3. Embed the algorithm onto the Arduino
