Abstract
Se ha mejorado la efectividad de un prototipo wearable para la monitorización de la frecuencia cardíaca en perros, abordando limitaciones previas como la señal débil, componentes difíciles de reemplazar y errores en el código. Usando una metodología de modelo en V, se realizaron ensayos clínicos en 19 perros, comparando los resultados del prototipo original y optimizado con un módulo ECG tradicional. Además, se encuestó al personal veterinario para validar la fase actual del dispositivo. Las mejoras incluyen un rediseño completo, un código en Arduino IDE y MATLAB, electrodos impresos en 3D con PLA conductivo, una pantalla para visualizar la frecuencia cardíaca, conectividad Bluetooth y un cinturón ajustable. Los resultados mostraron una mejora significativa en la calidad de la señal, con un margen de error reducido en un 16.45%. También se mejoró la ergonomía y comodidad del dispositivo, y se logró enviar la señal ECG de forma inalámbrica para su visualización en software de programación. Las encuestas validaron un notable avance respecto a la versión anterior.
The effectiveness of a wearable prototype for heart rate monitoring in dogs has been improved by addressing previous limitations such as weak signal, difficult-to-replace components and code errors. Using a V-model methodology, clinical trials were conducted on 19 dogs, comparing the results of the original and optimized prototype with a traditional ECG module. In addition, veterinary staff were surveyed to validate the current phase of the device. Improvements included a complete redesign, code in Arduino IDE and MATLAB, 3D printed electrodes with conductive PLA, a heart rate display screen, Bluetooth connectivity and an adjustable belt. The results showed a significant improvement in signal quality, with a margin of error reduced by 16.45%. The ergonomics and comfort of the device were also improved, and the ECG signal was sent wirelessly for display in programming software. Surveys validated a significant improvement over the previous version.
