Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Instantaneous heart rate is calculated from the R-R interval of the recorded ECG. In addition, HRV analysis is performed as an indicator of cardiac autonomic function.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A breathing pickup is attached to the upper abdomen and the breathing pattern is measured from the movement associated with respiratory motion. The intensity of "pain" or "de qi" associated with acupuncture stimulation is measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) of 10 cm in width.
