Case Study
Data Services: Understanding Heart Rate Variability
Data Services: Understanding Heart Rate Variability A biotechnology company working with a mouse model wanted to collect autonomic nervous system parameters. Although this group has experience with collecting cardiovascular parameters with telemetry, this long-time customer contacted DSI Data Services seeking guidance on conducting a heart rate variability study (HRV) – an area of research where they lacked practical experience. HRV is the physiological phenomenon of the variation in the time interval between heartbeats, measured by the variation in the beat-to-beat interval. DSI developed a solution that best met the customer’s needs, allowing the biotech to complete their study quickly and affordably, with the necessary evidence to support the mouse model phenotype. THE OUTCOME. The
