Development Of A Human Heart Rate And Skin Temeprature Monitoring System, Giribabu Sinnapolu

Wayne State University Theses

Continuous heart rate monitors (CHRM) can give unique insights into a person's physiological and psychological state; however, existing CHRMs are not suitable for continuous monitoring because they do not provide beat-to-beat accuracy and comfort needed for all-day use. Our group is currently developing a miniature earlobe mounted CHRM system which is both comfortable and provides beat-to-beat accuracy, based on a miniature heart rate sensing technology developed previously in our lab. The objective of this thesis is to design low power system firmware to perform key tasks: i) acquire heart rate and skin temperature data from wearable sensors; ii) signal process …
