Download or read book Wearable Sensing of Cardio pulmonary Function written by Ju Gao (Ph. D. in electrical engineering) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, mobile cardiac sensors have to operate in frequent episodes of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions due to motion artifacts. To incorporate data from mobile sensors into clinic research robust beat detection algorithms and confidence measures associated with the estimated cardiac indices are required. Thus, in the final part of the thesis, we propose a Bayesian inference framework for analyzing cardiac sensor measurements to compute cardiac indices of interest, while simultaneously proving confidence intervals. Experimental results with benchmark datasets show that the proposed Bayesian inference framework outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms in continuous heart rate estimation.
Download or read book Wearable Electrochemical Sensors for Non Invasive Health Monitoring written by Juliane Renata Sempionatto Moreto and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The constant miniaturization of electronics and the development of powerful data processing tools have enabled the fast advance of wearable technology. The successful demonstration of wearable devices for sports monitoring has already been made. Although such outstanding technology has shown great performance, some important features are still missing. Nowadays, wearable devices are limited to monitoring physical parameters such as motion, temperature, heart rate, steps, etc., while important (bio)chemical information, such as metabolites (glucose, lactate, alcohol) and electrolytes (sodium, potassium) levels can only be accessed via blood analysis. The development of on-body detectors for physiological self-monitoring has profound societal implications for healthcare, nutrition analyses, and remote medicine. Electrochemical wearable biosensors are promising candidates to bridge the technology gap for wearable devices toward comprehensive monitoring and measurement of important, and medically relevant, biological changes in the human body. Electrochemical sensors can be easily miniaturized, data can be accessed wirelessly, and the concept of "put-and-forget" can be successfully employed minimizing the hassle and interference in the wearer's daily-life activities. In this dissertation, the development and application of non-invasive wearable devices are discussed. Wearable electrochemical sensors operating in sweat, saliva, tears, and interstitial fluid are presented in individual chapters with a final chapter on the critical discussion regarding the challenges and opportunities involved in building a successful electrochemical wearable biosensor capable of reliable and trustful measurement readings. The criteria for analytical biomarker detector in saliva, sweat, tears, and interstitial fluid are included.

Download or read book Non invasive Wearable Wristband for Heart Rate and Respiration Rate Estimation Using Photoplethysmography with Motion Artifact Removal written by Aniket Badhan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actively monitoring the heart rate and respiration rate is very essential as there exists a high correlation between these parameters and different cardiovascular events. Photoplethysmography (PPG) based heart rate monitoring is commonly employed in the smart watches and most of the industry products perform heart rate estimation only. However, it is difficult to keep accurate track of the heart rate or respiration rate by just using the PPG signal as it highly vulnerable to motion artifacts. This research presents a custom design for wearable wristband using PPG sensor which provides a single platform for heart rate, respiration rate along with activity monitoring and audio data recording. The research aims to solve the problems such as ambient light and variation in intensity of reflected light caused due to the hand as well as sensor motion by using multiple LEDs for measurement. Using adaptive filtering technique for motion artifact removal combined with peak verification step, the heart and respiration rate can be estimated within accepted error range even during different moderate physical activities.
