This study is to develop the handgrip heart rate detection methodology based on template matching algorithm. A sixth-order Butterworth bandpass filter with a passband of 1 to 30 Hz was used to filter out baseline shift and noise above 30 Hz including power line noise. The resulting QRS waveform will...
