Development of an ambulatory multi-parameter monitoring system for physiological stress related parameters
Ke. Ma, Joshua C. T. Khoo, Thomas Brown · 2010
This paper presents the hardware overview, design and implementation of a fully wireless ambulatory multi-parameter monitoring system. This mobile ambulatory system is designed to be integrated, wearable, and of low power consumption. The front-end hardware includes sensors and signal-conditioning circuits, integrated into a form factor of 30mmX50mm. Communication is implemented with Bluetooth sensor to form the Body Area Network (BAN). Physiological stress related parameters measured include heart rate, heart rate variability, skin conductance, body/environmental temperature, respiration rate and depth, and activity. This system can be generalized for other physiological monitoring applications.
