### б TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The technological characteristics of the BioHarness are described in the following sections.
#### 6.1 General Functionality
The BioHarness stores and transmits physiological data including heart rate, respiration rate, thoracic skin temperature, body orientation and activity level. The digital data are derived from physiological signals acquired from the user through the chest strap for heart rate and respiration rate. An infrared sensor is used to measure skin temperature on the user's chest. The user's activity and body orientation are derived from accelerometry signals from an internal triaxial accelerometer. Data may be transmitted over Bluetooth to a computer. The BioHarness has an internal rechargeable lithium polymer battery.
## A. Heart Rate
The BioHarness monitors electrical signals produced by the heart through a chest strap with conductive fabric skin electrodes and derives heart rate based on proprietary analysis of the QRS complex. The BioHarness is not an ECG monitor and provides no analysis capability in cases of abnormal QRS complex. The chest strap uses conductive lycra fabric to form a sensor, measuring electrical activity in the V4 lead position (fifth intercostals space in the midclavicular). A single-ended ECG circuit is used to detect QRS complexes. The circuit incorporates ESD protection, both passive and active filtering and an ADC to convert the signal to a digital representation. Proprietary digital filtering and signal analysis is performed on the signal with a microcontroller circuit to derive heart rate.
## B. Respiration Rate
The BioHarness monitors thoracic movement (chest expansion and contraction) through a chest strap containing a proprietary capacitive sensor is composed of layers of conductive fabric, · foam and flexible mylar (dielectric). The sensor capacitance is driven with a low-level 500kHz PWM signal. Thoracic expansion and contraction cause changes in capacitance which in turn result in changes in impedance causing the amplitude of the drive signal to vary. The BioHarness respiration circuit detects, filters and amplifies this change in amplitude to produce a varying voltage signal that represents thoracic movement. The signal is passed to an ADC and proprietary digital filtering and signal analysis is performed with a microcontroller circuit to derive respiration rate is inferred by thoracic movement measured via the capacitive sensor and circuit.
## C. Skin Temperature
The BioHarness uses an infrared thermometer to perform non-contact temperature measurements on user's chests. The infrared thermometer is mounted internal to the device, but has a viewing window that faces the user's chest. The Hidalgo uses a thermistor in the sensor module near an ECG electrode to measure skin temperature. Both sensors provide similar accuracy in temperature measurement.
## D. Body Orientation
The BioHarness measures body orientation by proprietary analysis of acceleration values output by an internal precision triaxial accelerometer and provides a measure of user posture (upright, supine) in degrees from vertical. The Hidalgo device calculates body orientation using three orthogonal accelerometer channels.
## E. Activity
The BioHarness measures activity level by proprietary analysis of acceleration values output by an internal precision triaxial accelerometer (Analog Devices ADXL330 3-axis +/-3 g iMEMS) and provides activity level in Vector Magnitude Units (VMU). The Hidalgo device calculates activity using three orthogonal accelerometer channels.

The BioHarness collects and transmits measurements captured during both sedentary as well as rigorous activity for Heart Rate, Skin Temperature, Posture and Activity. Breathing rate values are accurately transmitted only during sedentary periods.
The BioHarness is indicated for use as a general patient monitor to provide physiological information as part of an occupational welfare monitoring system, and for general research and performance measurement purposes.
