To briefly explain the principle of measuring heart rate, the heartbeat principle measures the heart rate of the heart directly or the capillary blood vessel has the frequency at the same cycle as the heart rate of the heart. The pulse rate of the heart or the pulse rate of the capillary is checked with a pressure sensor or a laser, and the checked heart rate is converted into an electrical signal and output.
What can measure heart rate is that blood pressure can be measured as well, which requires additional sensors.
In addition, if a body temperature sensor is additionally used to measure the body temperature, information on the body temperature may be converted into an electric signal and output in the same manner as described above.

The current limiting
That is, when a power supply voltage is 3 volts and a resistance of 300? Is connected in series to the first and second output lines to constitute the current limiting circuit, the resistance of the human body is very small, And 11 are shorted, the current flowing through the human body does not exceed 5 mA. In addition, a capacitor is further connected in parallel to each resistor to eliminate high frequency components of a signal transmitted through the human body, and electrical matching with the human body is achieved, thereby achieving superior signal transmission.
The signal passing through the current limiting
In the conventional radiofrequency (RF) system, a high-frequency signal of several hundreds MHz is required. However, in the present invention, a low-frequency signal of 10 MHz can be transmitted through the human body.
