| Summary: | The instantaneous development of medical technology keeps on expanding every year. Numerous designs such as high precision robots imitating doctors' practical movement in performing surgery impress many people. This has vividly bold that the integration of engineering in designing technology for medical application gradually increases every year. One of the crucial devices used in most hospitals is health-monitoring device. However, in critical situation such as in ambulatory services, which involve a lot of physical movement, using wired devices such as electrocardiogram (ECG) machine or photoplethysmography (PPG) signal acquisition device may seem to be quite burdensome. PPG is a method of measuring blood volume changes in body veins. It is a non-invasive, simple and low cost device which is widely used for medical application especially for ambulatory purposes. Therefore, this paper presents the design and development of wireless PPG based health monitoring device via Bluetooth sensor. The main objectives of this research are focusing on both establishing the hardware and software for a complete end-to-end system. The further analysis will be done based on full hardware and software architecture for developing and designing a complete device for wireless PPG based health monitoring application. The outcome is tempting to fulfill the desire of producing a valuable and high potential product in its suitable application. |
