EHP - Emotion Heartbeat Project
The "Emotion Heartbeat Project" is a project that will collect my heartrate as a datatype. This data will be displayed in a visual way with diagrams and create an emotional diary out of that. With an increased heartrate the heartrate monitor will ask for the cause of it to differentiate between positive and negative stress or sports activities.

Collected Heartbeat-Data Within 1 Week
Heartrate Diagrams
One of my first ideas was to connect the heartrate monitor with headphones that would calm down my increased heartrate with music and vibrating sensors at my neck; showing picture 3 and 5. The decision diagram displays how this should work.
But within this semester I will just build up the heartrate monitor itself.
Picture 6 and 7 are showing the result of 1 week of collecting heartrate data. I counted my heartbeat within 1 minute manually 4 times a day for 1 week. Pic 6 shows a diagram displaying the whole week at a glance; Pic 7 shows the diagrams of each day in particular. (Unfortunately I couldn't get it work with a consistent scale for the heartrate.)
