Abstract
The paper outlines a mobile sensor platform aimed at processing physiological data from wearable sensors. We discuss the requirements related to the use of low-cost portable devices in this scenario. Experimental analysis of four such devices, namely Microsoft Band 2, Empatica E4, eHealth Sensor Platform and BITalino (r)evolution is provided. Critical comparison of quality of HR and GSR signals leads to the conclusion that future works should focus on the BITalino, possibly combined with the MS Band 2 in some cases. This work is a foundation for possible applications in affective computing and telemedicine.
