Ear-Lead Multiple Smart Bio Sensor System in M-health

Abstract

In this paper, we present a multi-parameter wearable sensor system in conjunction with a smartphone to enable a real-time unobtrusive monitoring of core body temperature, electrocardiogram (ear-lead ECG), and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) on ambulatory patients. Clinical research illustrating that continuing accurate measurements of core body temperature (CBT) are crucial to investigate human thermoregulation in ambulatory environment and during activity. On the other hand, ECG remains the mainstay test for primary diagnosis and survival analysis of heart diseases. We implement a wireless multisensory system that measures both the tympanic temperature inside the ear and ECG data from an ear and an arm. The behind-the-Ear device makes desirable to measure ECG data without any chest belt and allow the patient to move around freely. The proposed Bluetooth device has similarity of a hearing aid and is wirelessly connected to a smartphone for data transmission and displaying. This device not only gives access to the core temperature and ECG data in real time, but also the device can be controlled -removed and reapplied -by the patient at any time, thus increasing the performance of personal health applications.

Investigation of the Application of New Mathematical Methods for the Analysis of Cardiac Data

“…За определяне количествените характеристики, оценяващи изменението на параметрите на сърдечния ритъм се използват ECG сигнали, които носят информация за вариабилността на сърдечната честота (ВСЧ), отчитаща разликата между последователните удари на сърцето. Алтернативен подход при прилагането на методите за анализ на ВСЧ е регистрирането и обработката на сигнали, отчитащи периферната артериална пулсация на кръвта с помощта на фотоплетизмографски сензори [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Актуален е въпросът за STEMEDU-2020 НАУЧНА КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ С МЕЖДУНАРОДНО УЧАСТИЕ 2020, Велико Търново диагностичната и прогнозна стойност на съвместната регистрация, обработка и математически анализ на ECG и PPG сигнали.…”

Multi-sensory portable information system for monitoring and analysis of cardiac data

“…The prototype consists of an infrared optical TCRT1000 sensor, an analog filter, operational amplifier and a microcontroller Arduino UNO, which is used for analogue-digital conversion and computer communication. Such devices can be used for a multi-parameter sensor system that is connected to a smartphone to allow real-time registration and control of body temperature, electrocardiogram (ear-lead ECG) and oxygenation in outpatients as described in the article (Celik et al, 2015).…”
