One such popular application is for patient diagnostic equipment for measuring heart performance. The normal way of measuring the functionality of the heart is by measuring the Electrocardiogram (ECG) with a set of electrodes attached to or in contact with the body. You can measure a complex Vectorcardiogram (VCG), the classical ECG with amplitudes and timing of the P-QRS-T waves or just the timing of the R-peak, like in heart rate monitors or sports computers, as shown in figure 1.
