This work proposes the design and evaluation of a wearable mobile ear-based electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system using highly electrically conductive material — graphene — enabled electrodes. Prolonged physiological monitoring is important in diagnosis, monitoring chronic diseases, and improving training regimes. Current technologies for monitoring ECGs alone are acceptable to clinicians or professionals,...
A mobile medical monitoring system based on s-martphone is proposed in this paper. The system can collect patient's physiological data by portable device and send them to patients' smartphone. Their smartphones will enlarge the data by uploading them to remote database, so that doctor and patient's family can access to the data far away and monitor patient's health condition. Furthermore, APP in smartphone...
An ECG monitoring system is implemented by using an android smart phone, an FPGA chip, a comparator, a resistor, a capacitor and an ECG front-end amplifier circuit. The FPGA chip includes a digital circuit block for delta modulator and a USB 1.1 PHY/LINK. The digital circuit block for delta modulator includes a sampler(D flip-flop), a sinc filter and a FIR filter. The delta modulator consists of the...
Applications in Smart City context are improving the quality of life of citizens through several technological interactions. These interactions can be also used to relate the citizens' emotions to city's areas. Thus, the main objective of this work is to present a smart phone application that analyzes the citizens' emotions and the relations between these parameters and different city's areas. Daily...
Traditional healthcare solutions oblige patients to stay in hospital; bio-signal monitoring and treatment dosing require the presence of specialized personnel. In turn, this scenario implies high-cost, especially for chronic diseases or fragile people surveillance. Wearable sensor-based healthcare solutions may be an effective approach for lowering costs, since they offer good performance and can...
Technology scaling enables today the design of ultra-low power wearable biosensors for continuous vital signal monitoring or wellness applications. Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSN) integrate wearable sensing nodes for an accurate measurement of the desired physiological parameter, e.g. Electrocardiogram (ECG), and a personal gateway for the collection and processing of the data. The diffusion...
With the advancements in computing and electronic technologies, continuous monitoring of health-status related parameters is becoming affordable. The demand for an easy, comfortable and patient friendly solution for acquisition, processing and remotely transmitting the information from patient to the healthcare centre is increasing day by day. Although few existing techniques are available like the...
Nowadays attentions are given to u-healthcare systems for the prevention and management of disease in chronic patients requiring long-term care to reduce medical expense and provide high-quality medical services. In this paper, a novel u-healthcare platform for caring chronic patients used care professionals is proposed, comprised of a compact bio-signal acquisition terminal, smart phone application...
In this paper, a wireless system for human heart monitoring/Electrocardiograph (ECG) based on Android Smartphones was proposed. The Cardiac signals was recorded from three electrodes and attached to a subject's body that connected to the ECG amplifier module. In this module, the signals were pre-prosessed and sending the result to the smartphone via Bluetooth. Next step, the result of signals stored...
Treating patients in remote areas in emergency condition are critical task and hence a continuous monitor system is essential for doctors to treat them when they are in need. This system can be used for more than one patient at a time. A patient monitoring system can be developed with the advantages of network technology and multiple sensor fusion technology along with the combination of Smartphone...
In day care for a driver, continuous ECG (electrocardiogram) monitoring is required because symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia and hypoxia can occur unexpectedly. To enhance care service and quality for a driver, this study proposed a real-time ECG monitoring system of transmitting ECG signals to Android mobile phones or tablets through Bluetooth transmission in vehicles. These signals are then uploaded...
The concurrent popularity of wearable sensors and Internet-of-Things (IoT) brings significant benefits to body sensor networks (BSN) that could communicate with the cloud computing platforms for bringing interoperability in health and wellness monitoring. We designed Pulse-Glasses that are cloud-connected, wearable, smart eyeglasses for unobtrusive and continuous heart rate (HR) monitoring. We 3D-printed...
This paperwork describes the development and test of circuitry and software to enable the use of Android mobile phones equipped with Bluetooth to receive the incoming electrocardiogram (ECG) signal from a user and show it in real-time on the cell phone screen. The system comprises three distinct subsystems. The first one is dedicated to condition the analog ECG signal, preparing it for conversion...
The heart is a vital organ that needs to be monitored periodically by everyone, including athletes and heart patients. Heart condition of an athlete requires special attention to keep his/her stamina and performance, however monitoring the heart signal during athlete activity is challenge to be solved. In this research, we developed a mini wearable ECG device and real time arrhythmia detection based...
It is vital for a chronic medical patient to continuously take readings of his/her vital functions (e.g. heartbeat, etc.) and present to the physician. The problems are how to take readings without affecting the patient's normal life and how to send large amounts of data associated with vital readings like ECG, EEG, etc. to the physician effectively. In this article we propose a framework which will...
Machine to machine (M2M) communication is commonly associated with telemedicine. Applications of M2M technology can be seen in — security and surveillance, building automation, supply chains and logistics management, however, M2M is best placed in healthcare. Nowadays healthcare is becoming a proactive approach characterized by, early detection, prevention, and long-term management of health conditions...
This paper presents a telemetry system to acquire the Electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform and analyze it using an algorithm developed to detect cardiac abnormalities in patients. The ECG data is sent in real-time to the patient's smartphone from a Bluetooth sensor. Two approaches are being developed to process the data. The Web server approach is to send the data from the phone to a Web server where...
Major studies have reported that heart related issues will be a major health risk in developing and developed countries alike. The problem is more acute in developing nations because of the lack of enough trained cardiologists and also because of the high cost of the traditional electro cardio grams (ECGs). In the current work we propose a design for a low-cost and user firendly smartphone based ECG...
The impact of poor and disrupted sleep on an individual is significant, affecting the quality of life physiologically, psychologically, and financially. It is estimated that a large population of people who suffer from sleep disorders is unaware of the condition and remains undiagnosed [1], creating a need (and desire) to self-monitor. However, sleep screening is generally cumbersome and complex,...
