How it Works

 

Monitoring Heart Data (ECG & Rate)

Two electrodes on your chest are connected via leads to a small device such as the Alive Heart Monitor. Strapped to your body or clothing, this monitor transmits live heart data to your bluetooth-enabled mobile phone.

Cycloscope software runs on the phone and receives this data. It visualises and records the heart activity in realtime. It also allows to send recordings to any email address. Easily installed and inexpensive, this system provides accurate heart data for health, fitness and well-being.The information made accessible is far beyond the standard heart rate monitor.

The animated screen shows ECG waveform, heart rate and wave morphology over time. Slowly evolving trends and temporary events are shown in an animated 'cycle history'.

 

Monitoring Movement (Acceleration)

The Alive Heart Monitor is strapped to your body. You could choose to clip it tightly to your shoes, strap it to your arm or legs - or any other location you intend to monitor and record motion from. No cabling is required, your movements are not restricted.

You will quickly learn how to control the regularity of your movements via the visual feedback shown on the Cycloscope display. By comparing recordings between friends or by reviewing your own history, you have the most accurate tool to optimise smootheness and efficiency in cycling, walking, runnning - or even dancing.

 

 
Usage Scenarios

 

Cycloscope provides a sophisticated, versatile tool for a range of applications, including:

  • improving the efficiency of sports activities
  • raising awareness for reaction to stress, relaxation, environment
  • recording untypical episodes for documentation and review
  • collecting physiological data for research

Your Sensor - Your Data - Your Choice !

 

Whatever data you monitor, whatever sensor you use - Cycloscope's adapter-architecture allows us to easily extend the supported sensors and applications, including:

  • Pulse-Oximetry
  • Mechanical vibration monitoring
  • Musical instrument tuning (frequency and sound timbre)
  • Meteorological and climate data visualisation
  • Pressure monitoring (irrigation, industry, energy)
  • ...
..and we are keen to do it ! Please do not hesitate to contact us with your suggestions, feedback and ideas - you are the customer !
 
Requirements

 

Mobile

Java enabled phone with bluetooth support. Processing live data streams requires considerable computational power. We suggest to use recent phones.

 

Desktop

Any desktop with bluetooth support (internal or via USB dongle). Cycloscope runs on all major platforms, including PC, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris.

 
Roadmap

 

This is what we are planning for the upcoming versions. Your suggestions are welcome.

 

Version 1.1

  • desktop version (Linux, Mac OS-X, Solaris, Windows)
  • support for phone-internal accelerometer (JSR-256)
  • support for Nintendo Wii Remote accelerometer (desktop only)

Version 1.2

  • waveform review via cycle selection in history
  • automatic history zoom mode
  • monitoring of audio data

Cycloscopes reserves the right to review this roadmap based on customer feedback and technology changes.
