Transfer data from an App in computer desktop to matlab

Hi there,

I have an app on my computer desktop that the shows real time heart rate data and I was wondering

is there any way to transfer these real-time data to matlab?

All the best,

Nikan

Can you provide more information about the app? Does it save files in well known formats, or send data over a network?

Hi Nikan,

I understand that you want to transfer data from your app on computer desktop to MATLAB.

It is possible to transfer real-time heart rate data from an app on your computer desktop to MATLAB. However, the specific method of transferring the data will depend on the capabilities and interface options provided by the app you are using.

Here are a few general approaches you can consider:

• Data Export: Check if the app allows exporting data to a file format like CSV, TXT, or MAT. If such an option is available, then you can import the data into MATLAB using functions like “readtable” or “load”.
• Streaming: If the app supports data streaming, you may be able to establish a connection between the app and MATLAB using a communication protocol such as TCP/IP, UDP, or serial communication. This would require programming both the app and MATLAB to establish the connection and transfer the data in real-time.

Please refer to the following MATLAB documentation links to know more about “readtable”, “load” and “Interface Based Communication”:

• readtable: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/readtable.html
• load: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/load.html
• Interface Based Communication: https://in.mathworks.com/help/instrument/interface-based-communication.html

I hope this helps you.
