Development of an Ambulatory Multi-parameter Monitoring System for Physiological Stress Related Parameters

摘要

This paper presents the hardware overview, design and implementation of a fully wireless ambulatory multiparameter 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 30mm×50mm. 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
