Biometric Steering Wheel Reference Design

Texas Instruments

Description

This reference design is for a concept demonstration of how a driver's pulse rate: respiration rate: and ECG based heart rate can be obtained from a vehicle steering wheel. AFE4400 and AFE4300 from TI's biometric family of analog front-ends (AFE): enables acquisition of all three parameters via simple hand contacts on the steering wheel. This reference design also includes a full BLE connectivity design for easy interface to BLE enabled smartphones: tablets: etc
