Application of arduino based platform for wearable health monitoring system

摘要

World's ageing population and predominance of obstinate diseases have led to a high demand of ambulatory healthcare system, which can monitor vital-signs. Our aim is to develop a generic clothing technology which successfully integrates biosensors woven into a shirt. We have therefore developed an ambulatory device which enables the measurement of heart rate, electro dermal activity, and skin temperature with non-invasive sensors. Since we are combining parameters such as body temperature and galvanic skin resistance, we get to know about the patient's integral condition. One of the key features of our system is fall detection, which mainly arises from the complication of heart attack during which body's vitals-sign changes and patient tends to collapse. This system gives warning to prevent such complications. Our research is mainly orientated towards two complementary directions: Improving the relevancy of each sensor and increasing the number of sensors for having a more synthetic and robust information.
