The system includes a harness with on-board electrocardiography (ECG) front-end circuit, inertial measurement unit and a micro-computer with wireless capability where the major research focus of this paper was on the ergonomic design and evaluation of the system on puppies. The first phase of our evaluation was performed on a Labrador Retriever between 12 to 26 weeks in age as a pilot study. The longitudinal weekly data collected revealed the expected trend of a decreasing average heart rate and increased heart rate variability as the age increased. In the second phase, we improved the system ergonomics for a larger scale deployment in a guide dog school (Guiding Eyes for the Blind (Guiding Eyes)) on seventy 7.5-week-old puppies (heart rate coverage average of 86.7%). The acquired ECG based heart rate data was used to predict the performance of puppies in Guiding Eyes’s temperament test. We used the data as an input to a machine learning model which predicted two Behavior Checklist (BCL) scores as determined by expert Guiding Eyes puppy evaluators with an accuracy above 90%.}, number={16}, journal={IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL}, publisher={Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, author={Foster, Marc and Brugarolas, Rita and Walker, Katherine and Mealin, Sean and Cleghern, Zach and Yuschak, Sherrie and Clark, Julia Condit and Adin, Darcy and Russenberger, Jane and Gruen, Margaret and et al.}, year={2020}, pages={9449–9459} }
