Device Interfaces
Turning the Device On & Off
Status & Battery Feedback LEDs
cardioBAN comes with a status LED providing you feedback about the device states and a Battery LED providing you info about the device’s battery status.
Detailed information about the different states, LED colors, and respective device behavior can be found in the wearable’s datasheet.
Sensor Positioning
The cardioBAN’s ECG connection uses 2x Electrodes. The negative electrode collection is located on the backside of the device part that contains the Status LED. The positive electrodes is located on the backside of the device part that contains the cardioBAN logo and the Battery LED.
While the cardioBAN wearable allows data acquisition of all three Eindhoven leads, the best experience is achieved in Lead I or Lead II configuration.
In Lead I configuration, the cardioBAN is placed with the negative electrode to the right of the heart (from the user’s perspective) and the positive electrode to the left (from the user’s perspective). In this setup, the cardioBAN is placed in a horizontal position with the logo readible from the front.
In Lead II configuration, the cardioBAN is placed with the negative electrode to the top right of the heart (from the user’s perspective) and the positive electrode to bottom left (from the user’s perspective). In this setup, the cardioBAN is placed an inclined 45º position with the logo pointing downwards.
Recording Signals with Biosignals Studio
This wearable is compatible with our Biosignals Studio app for Android* and the recorded sensor data can be exported for further analysis in our OpenSignals (Desktop) software.
*Apple & Windows operating systems support coming soon
Step 1: Connect your cardioBAN
Turn your wearable on and go to the Devices menu in Biosignals Studio. Your device should be listed shortly after entering the menu (press the Scan Devices to rescan if needed).
Press the cardioBAN option in the Devices menu to enter the device settings. There you can de-/activate all sensors as needed and adjust the device name. Exit the menu by pressing the Save Settings button.
Note that sensor data for this wearable is recorded at a fixed 1000Hz sampling and 16-bit resolution.
