Abstract
In this paper we have proposed to present a
wearable system for automatic recording of the main
physiological parameters of the human body: body temperature,
galvanic skin response, respiration rate, blood pressure, pulse,
blood oxygen content, blood glucose content, electrocardiogram
(ECG), electromyography(EMG), and patient position. To realize
this system, we have developed a program that can read and
automatically save in a file, the data from specialized sensors.
The results can be later interpreted, by comparing them with
known normal values and thus offering the possibility for a
primary health status diagnosis by specialized personnel. The
data received from the wearable sensors is taken by an interface
circuit, provided with signal conditioning (filtering,
amplification, etc). A microcontroller controls the data
acquisition. In this applications we used an Arduino Uno
standard development platform. The data are transferred to a
PC, using serial communication port of Arduino platform and a
communications shield. The whole process of health assessment is commissioned by a program developed by us in the Python
programming language. The program provides automatic
recording of the aforementioned parameters in a predetermined
sequence, or only certain parameters are registered.
