Heart rate detected with accelerometers

Hi everyone! I'm new to WildLabs, so I wanted to introduce myself by sharing some of my recent research. We demonstrated that (under the right conditions) high-resolution accelerometers can detect the vibrations from heart beats. Our method is available as an R package on GitHub. If you're interested in bio-logging, ecophysiology, and/or open science I invite you to get in touch. Thanks!




Hi Max, 

Well firstly, welcome! This is a great intro - I'm looking forward to having a poke around these links and reading more about your work. Sounds like you might well be interested in the topic of our meetup next week - we'll be talking about the future of biologging and biologging, the emerging tech and questions we should be paying attention to. I can't remember if I've seen your name pop up in our last few events, but hopefully  will see you there! More below if you're interested!
