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 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 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.

Download or read book Development of a Wearable Noninvasive Biomarker Sensing Platform written by Niraj K. Gupta and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomarkers are any components in the human body in the form of biomolecules, cells, tissues, or fluids that can be measured and evaluated to facilitate the indication of healthy processes, pathological processes, or pharmacological responses to a therapeutic intervention. Numerous ongoing research investigations in the identification of such components have offered potential means of early disease prognosis and assessment of the impact of fatigue and/or stress on human physical and cognitive performance. Currently, studies on human performance biomarkers are some of the highly investigated areas in this field. These include, but are not limited to lactate, cortisol, and orexin A for the quantification of physical and cognitive state. It is preferred to monitor such biomarkers unobtrusively in real time which can impact a number of professions with high-risk tasks such as surgeons, anesthesiologists, commercial pilots, and combat forces. Especially, in the military services, a device with similar capability would greatly assist in their sense-assess-augment paradigm by monitoring the performance of a soldier in the field. For the implementation of such a system, one of the most challenging aspects is bio-sample collection. Traditionally, phlebotomy is used as the gold standard for sample collection. However, it is painful, inconvenient and unsuitable for the purpose described as it can significantly limit the sampling interval. Some other noninvasive alternatives like saliva and passive sweat may be considered as possible sources. Nevertheless, they carry some shortcomings like imprecision, requirement of volume normalization, and possible need of controlled supervision for the sample collection and analysis. A technique known as reverse iontophoresis can overcome some of these issues in addition to providing a more precise sampling. It facilitates transdermal extraction of charged and neutral biomolecules up to 20 kDa in size present in the interstitial fluid by passing a low-level current between two electrodes placed over the skin. The extracts on the skin surface can then be analyzed by an on-site biosensor, or transported to a dedicated analyzer via a microfluidic pathway. It should be noted, however, the concentrations of RI sampled analytes are at significantly lower levels compared to those found in blood samples. Therefore, highly sensitive biosensors are required for the quantification of these samples. One of the widely used sensing techniques that could be potentially integrated to develop a RI-based sensing platform would be the chronoamperometric method. However, this technique may not be suitable for some larger peptides and protein-based biomarkers such as cortisol, and orexin A that require highly sensitive biosensors and potentially demand the integration of a microfluidic interface for the RI-based sample to flow over the sensor surface. Although the technologies required to develop a noninvasive biomarker sensing platform for various types of analytes are available, there is still an unmet need of a robust platform that integrates them into a single wearable device. In this dissertation, this need has been addressed by successfully developing a RI-based sensing platform that integrates amperometric and SPR-based sensors along with the necessary electronics and microfluidic interfaces. To accomplish this, commercially available application specific integrated circuits were used to design the essential electronics for a miniature RI driver module, amperometric and SPR sensor interfaces, and a microfluidic flow controller. A microfluidic interface that houses a micro electro-osmotic pump and a disposable cartridge for the sample collection and transport to a SPR-based sensor was also developed. Furthermore, a planar electrode system and enzymatic hydrogels were fabricated for chronoamperometric sensing of glucose and lactate. Ultimately, these components were integrated into a single wearable prototype.

Download or read book Critical Evaluation and Novel Design of a Non invasive and Wearable Health Monitoring System written by Saddedine Abbasi and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is about developing a non-invasive wearable health-monitoring system. The project aims to achieve miniaturisation as much as possible, using nanotechnology. The achieved results of the project are nothing but conceptual images of a convertible watch. The system is a non-invasive health measurement system. An important part of the study is researching the automation of blood pressure measurement by means of experiments which test the effect of exterior factors on blood pressure level. These experiments have been held to improve the automation and simplicity of BP measurements to establish a 24hr BP monitoring system. This study proposed a medical sensor that is part of the watch system, and that is most compatible with the elderly people product preferences in the UK. The "sensor strip" is in cm range, integrating a number of MEMS sensors, for the non-invasive detection of certain health aspects. The health aspects are chosen according to how close they are from the "health vital signs", which are the first measurements executed by the doctor, if a patient is to visit him. An applied QFD study showed that the most suitable measurement technology to be used in the proposed sensor strip is the infrared technology. In addition to the sensor strip, EEG health detection is added, which is the reason why the watch is convertible. MEMS sensors, MEMS memory and an embedded processor are selected, since that this project also includes minimising the size of a device where the utilization of nanotechnology is vital. The final result of the study is only a conceptual design of a product with a carefully selected subsystems. The software design of the product will not be further developed to become a physical prototype of a consumer product.
