Method and system for measuring heartbeat rate using telemetric data transmission

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and system for measuring heartbeat rate using telemetric data transmission. In the method, a heartbeat rate signal is measured from the object to be measured by using a telemetric transmitter unit which detects the signals. The heartbeat data is transmitted by inductive coupling to a telemetric receiver unit, and stored in a memory means within the receiver unit, and transferred by inductive coupling from the receiver unit to a data transfer unit, and transferred from the data transfer unit to a data processing unit. According to the invention, telemetric data transfer is also carried out from the data transfer unit to the receiver unit, and that data transfer in this direction is carried out by supplying one or more setting parameters from the data processing unit prior to the actual heartbeat measurement. These parameters are transferred via the data transfer unit to the receiver unit by inductive coupling between the data transfer unit and the receiver unit.
