MEMS Accelerometer-Based Heart Monitoring System with Myocardial Fixation

Fabrication and assembly of MEMS accelerometer-based heart monitoring device with simplified, one step placement

“…A flexible polyimide substrate was used as the substrate for the accelerometer and necessary filter capacitors. The layered structure of the substrate was the same as in the cablesubstrate in Tjulkins et al [12], and Nguyen et al [13].…”

“…The sensor dimensions are 2 Â 2 Â 0.95 mm 3 . The sensor used is the same as described earlier [12][13][14].…”

“…Then they are pulled out if no longer needed. We have previously presented a miniaturized device, with dimensions 2.8 Â 3 Â 10 mm 3 with silicone encapsulation with the possibility to be placed sub-epicardially [12][13][14] (Figure 1, upper row left). For the placement of this device a four-step Seldingers technique was *Corresponding author.…”

HuMOVE: A Low-invasive Wearable Monitoring Platform in Sexual Medicine

“…Although a large number of devices already exists and widely represents the state of the art of the inertial monitoring systems [15][16][17][18], a custom-made platform was developed for this specific application due to the need to have an open-platform for accurately designing and tuning the hardware, firmware and software in collaboration with physicians and with the final aim to develop a novel diagnostic tool in sexual medicine; it focuses on precise sexual performance medical specifications in terms of derived indexes, intuitiveness, comfort and confidentiality issues.…”
