A wireless, low-power, smart sensor of cardiac activity for clinical remote monitoring

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a wireless wearable sensor for the continuous, long-term monitoring of cardiac activity. Heart rate assessment, as well as heart rate variability parameters are computed in real time directly on the sensor, thus only a few parameters are sent via wireless communication for power saving. Hardware and software methods for heart beat detection and variability calculation are described and preliminary tests for the evaluation of the sensor are presented. With an autonomy of 4… Show more

“…There are numerous examples of smart sensors, such as the m-Health (mobile-Health), a simple wearable device that monitors cardiac activity in real-time [116]. Meanwhile, more complex systems require the use of smart sensors, such as a prosthesis which assists people with degenerative retinal diseases—this is still being tested [117].…”

“…However, it is obviously not possible for an at-risk patient to take up residence in their doctor's clinic while waiting to catch the early symptoms of a cardiac event. A more convenient way of early detection would be to wear a small, portable device, which monitors and automatically detects abnormalities in the ECG [9]. Unfortunately, these devices require either large batteries or frequent recharging as the device needs to continuously monitor the vital signal over a long period.…”
