Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Feasibility of continuously monitoring ECG, EGG and EMG signals at the same time. Measurements taken at baseline and then at every hour of data collection.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To identify potential noises that may distort data quality. The presence of electric signals will be decided by expert opinion to provide data quality and quantity measures.	—
