Physiolyze: A Galaxy-based web service for Heart Rate Variability analysis with online processing

Abstract

We developed Physiolyze, a Galaxy-based web framework to process Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data. Our framework includes the pyHRV library, an up-to-date collection of Python methods to calculate HRV indexes. Physiolyze can be used both through a web interface and a web service component for a fast and configurable embedding of HRV analysis in complex processing pipelines. The framework also provides support for online processing of heart rate streaming data.
