Things That Inspired Us:

Things that inspires us in building our software are:

a.       the fact that heart disease is the world’s leading cause of death

b.      the fact the almost everybody in the world likes music

c.       The fact that many people, including ourselves like to exercise to keep our body fit.

According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC) and WHO, heart disease is the leading cause of death in many countries. Physicians today recommend aerobic exercise because it can decrease 59% the risk factors of heart disease. In order to get the maximum result out of our exercise, we have to maintain our heart rate at its optimum rate. This is the part where music comes to mind. The fact that music can influence people’s heart rate leads us to the making of Sigap!

Project Overview:

We have built a system, specifically designed to optimize exercising by keeping tabs on our heart pulse to create optimum result for cardiac health. Sigap maintain optimal heart rate on exercise with music. Furthermore, the system can also be used in competition mode, to give more excitement and motivation to its users.

Technical Overview:

Current user's heart rate is detected by a pulse detector, which then sends the signal to Pocket PC accordingly. The pocket PC will then play songs that can maintain user's optimum heart rate in order to optimize exercise based on user's personal information and medical history.

“Save your heart from the world's leading cause of death by optimizing your exercise”
