運動時のイヌ心電図波形計測のためのインナーウェア開発

抄録

We are developing the system for estimating the motivation of search and resucue dog during their search activity to locate victims, using heart rate variability. But when measuring electrocardiogram(ECG) waveform of dog on motion with conventional method, electrodes put on dog's body surface were often detached and ECG waveform cannot be measured. So we developed innerwear for measuring ECG waveform of dog on motion. The innerwear is made by using rubber band, velcro, and sponge, which can adjust the tension of tightening electrodes on dog's body surface and attach electrodes to dog firmly. As a result, ECG waveform is being measured continuously and the motivation of search and rescue dog during search activity can be estimated.
