Wearable Multi-Sensor System for Telemedicine Applications

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a technical design of wearable multi-sensor systems for physiological data measurement and wide medical applications, significantly impacted in telehealth. The monitors are composed of three analog front-end (AFE) devices, which assist with interfacing digital electronics to the noise-, time-sensitive physiological sensors for measuring ECG (heart-rate monitor), RR (respiration-rate monitor), SRL (skin resistivity monitor). These three types of sensors can be used separately or together and allow to determine a number of parameters for the assessment of mental and physical condition. The system is designed based on requirements for demanding environments even outside the realm of medical applications, and in accordance with Health and Safety at Work directives (89/391/CE and Seveso-II 96/82/EC) for occupational hygiene, medical, rehabilitation, sports and fitness applications.

Telemedicínský systém pro analogové mise a vesmírné aplikace: Aktuální stav a budoucnost vývoje

“…Parametry systému musí splnit nejen specifické unikátní standardy, ale té požadavky uživatele. Výsledkem výzkumu a vývoje je nový systém určený pro aplikaci v analogových laboratořích [12]. Nové technologie následně mohou najít využití v prostředích hierarchicky…”
