Abstract :
The design and development of a 24-hour ambulatory physiological data collection system is reported. The system was designed specifically to support the needs of investigators studying mind-body interventions but could be used for a variety of research needs. The system is novel in that it supports a wide variety of physiologic sensors with a relatively high sample rate, full data storage, and standalone run-time of greater than 24 hours. Experience with data acquisition and methods for post-acquisition data analysis are also discussed
