Abstract

In this paper, we present an Android application to control and monitor the physiological sensors from the Shimmer platform, which include ECG (Electrocardiogram), EMG (Electromyogram), and GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) modules and accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope. The application can configure, select, receive, and represent graphically and store the signals from the sensors. Experimental results with two Android devices were carried out. The ECG, EMG, GSR, and gyroscope sensors were monitored simultaneously at a sampling rate of 10.2 Hz. The application can be applied to many different users such as patients with chronic diseases, athletes, or drivers.
