“…Em [24] o nível de ansiedade de adolescentes autistas é medido através da captura de PPG, AED e TP durante interações sociais virtuais. No artigo [25] mostra um software de composição musical com a utilização de sinais de EEG e, por fim, em [26], é mostrado a captura de sinais fisiológicos de pacientes, através de sensores acoplados em controle remoto de vídeo game comercial, com objetivo de monitorar o paciente à distância.…”

A tecnologia pode aumentar a eficácia das intervenções terapêuticas tradicionais para indivíduos com transtorno do espectro autista (TEA). No entanto, a terapia pode ser estressante e, portanto, intervenções baseadas em tecnologia que incorporam o monitoramento do estado emocional do usuário durante o uso é uma característica interessante. Este trabalho descreve o desenvolvimento de uma plataforma digital no formato Arcade capaz de capturar a frequência cardíaca por meio de um sensor óptico não invasivo embutido em um joystick. Um jogo sério foi desenvolvido para testar o sinal da frequência cardíaca como um parâmetro do jogo para evitar o estresse do jogador em desafios que exigem destreza óculo-manual. A frequência cardíaca foi integrada aos parâmetros do jogo controlando o tempo de duração do jogo. O hardware e software do projeto foram avaliados por especialistas e interessados na área de TEA, resultando em uma avaliação favorável e que mostra a importância de plataformas atraentes e multimodais para este público.

The heart rate and its variability, known as Heart Rate Variability (HRV), are indispensable measurements for cardiorespiratory monitoring, recognition and quantification of emotions, detection of abnormalities, and heart disease control. In general, the acquisition systems for heart rate and HRV require a contact area for sensor's installation and positioning, creating restrictions and/or obstructions on user's movements. This paper proposes a noninvasive and noncontact technique for heart rate and HRV acquisition using a single camera. This method consists in the automatic detection of the user's face and utilization of an Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithm to separate the necessary signals to determine the heart rate and the HRV. The experiments have shown more than 80% of similarity between the results of the proposed heuristic in comparison to the results of the photoplethysmography sensor (PPG). General TermsBiofeedback, Image Processing.

“…Vital signs include: temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate and blood pressure, among others. Monitoring of vital signs and biomedical covers a wide spectrum in different contexts today, so, it has been a concurrent research topic in the last decade [1][2][3][4][5]. Currently, there are systems designed to monitoring vital signs through different technologies.…”

“…In [2,3,5], the use of technology based on a microcontroller, has been proposed in order to monitoring many different vital signs like heart rate, breathing and others. In [4] is used an embedded system with an ARM processor and a Linux OS for the motoring of an electrocardiographic signal (ECG) of the patient.…”

The vital signs monitoring is very important for patients that suffers some chronic disease because they reflect basic and essential functions in the body. In Mexico, in the last few years, we have noticed that the mortality rate in patients with heart disease has increased significantly due to late diagnosis and lack medical care to patients who have been diagnosed. This work presents a proposal embedded system, that allows continuous monitoring of heart rate with an optical sensor and a Microblaze soft-core embedded in a Spartan-6 FPGA of Xilinx. The Microblaze processor works whit the local processor bus for managing peripherals. Core SPI is used to interface with the sensor. The system detects the heartbeat through the sensor which is placed on the index finger of the patient, the signal is acquired by the soft-core, where the heart rate is obtained through the autocorrelation function. Finally, UART core is used to send data to a computer where is implemented a server application that enables remote monitoring of sensor information.
