RHYTHM DEVICE OVERVIEW
HOW SCOSCHE® RHYTHM WORKS
Blood is constantly moving through the human body and consequently the amount of blood under the skin at any given point is constantly changing. The main forces of blood movement are the heart pumping and physical body movements. SCOSCHE® RHYTHM armband detects blood movement by shining light onto the skin and measuring the amount of light that is absorbed by the skin.
In addition RHYTHM uses an accelerometer similar to what is used in popular gaming controllers to detect body movement and then subtracts the movement from the light measurement. All of the data collected from this process is sent to the user’s iPhone or iPod touch for further filtering and signal processing. The final output is displayed on the iPhone or iPod touch as the user's pulse.
Sensor Accuracy
Testing within Scosche Industries has shown the average pulse to be within +/- 3% of a chest strap.
