  • Growth of CNT array for Physiological Monitoring applications
    Nanosensors and Microsensors for Bio-Systems 2008, 2008
    Co-Authors: J. K. Radhakrishnan, V. C. Padaki, H. Bhusan, P. S. Pandian, K. U. B. Rao, Kiran R. Aatre, Jining Xie, Jose K. Abraham, Vijay K. Varadan
    Abstract:

    Carbon nanotube based electrodes can overcome the drawbacks posed by the conventional wet electrodes, used for Physiological Monitoring. Here, multiwalled CNT arrays were grown on highly doped n-type Si-wafers with Fe-catalyst layer, using a thermal CVD system. Acetylene was used as the carbon source gas, while Ammonia was the reducing gas and Argon was the purging inert gas, in these experiments. The thermal annealing of the catalyst layer and the carbon nanotube growth schedule, were optimized to get a dense and uniform multiwalled CNT array. SEM images reveal dense uniform growth of multiwalled carbon nanotubes over the entire catalyst deposited area. The cross-sectional images reveal a quasi-vertical alignment.

  • Wireless Sensor Network for Wearable Physiological Monitoring
    Journal of Networks, 2008
    Co-Authors: Pithchai S Pandian, Defence Bioengineering, Pragati Gupta, B S Sundersheshu, K. P. Safeer, D. T. Shakunthala, C. V. Raman Nagar, V. C. Padaki
    Abstract:

    Wearable Physiological Monitoring system consists of an array of sensors embedded into the fabric of the wearer to continuously monitor the Physiological parameters and transmit wireless to a remote Monitoring station. At the remote Monitoring station the data is correlated to study the overall health status of the wearer. In the conventional wearable Physiological Monitoring system, the sensors are integrated at specific locations on the vest and are interconnected to the wearable data acquisition hardware by wires woven into the fabric. The drawbacks associated with these systems are the cables woven in the fabric pickup noise such as power line interference and signals from nearby radiating sources and thereby corrupting the Physiological signals. Also repositioning the sensors in the fabric is difficult once integrated. The problems can be overcome by the use of Physiological sensors with miniaturized electronics to condition, process, digitize and wireless transmission integrated into the single module. These sensors are strategically placed at various locations on the vest. Number of sensors integrated into the fabric form a network (Personal Area Network) and interacts with the human system to acquire and transmit the Physiological data to a wearable data acquisition system. The wearable data acquisition hardware collects the data from various sensors and transmits the processed data to the remote Monitoring station. The paper discusses wireless sensor network and its application to wearable Physiological Monitoring and its applications. Also the problems associated with conventional wearable Physiological Monitoring are discussed.

    Co-Authors: Pithchai S Pandian, K. P. Safeer, D. T. Shakunthala, K. Mohanavelu, T.m. Kotresh, Parvati Gopal, V. C. Padaki
    Abstract:

    The wearable Physiological Monitoring system is a washable shirt, which uses an array of sensors connected to a central processing unit with firmware for continuously Monitoring Physiological signals. The data collected can be correlated to produce an overall picture of the wearer's health. In this paper, we discuss the wearable Physiological Monitoring system called 'Smart Vest'. The Smart Vest consists of a comfortable to wear vest with sensors integrated for Monitoring Physiological parameters, wearable data acquisition and processing hardware and remote Monitoring station. The wearable data acquisition system is designed using microcontroller and interfaced with wireless communication and global positioning system (GPS) modules. The Physiological signals monitored are electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), body temperature, blood pressure, galvanic skin response (GSR) and heart rate. The acquired Physiological signals are sampled at 250samples/s, digitized at 12-bit resolution and transmitted wireless to a remote Physiological Monitoring station along with the geo-location of the wearer. The paper describes a prototype Smart Vest system used for remote Monitoring of Physiological parameters and the clinical validation of the data are also presented.

  • A ZigBee -wireless wearable remote Physiological Monitoring system
    2016 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication (ICSC), 2016
    Co-Authors: Pithchai S Pandian, M. G. Srinivasa
    Abstract:

    Wearable health Monitoring systems use integrated sensors to monitor vital Physiological parameters of the wearer. The paper discusses the preliminary results of a prototype wearable Physiological Monitoring system to monitor Physiological parameters such as Electrocardiogram (ECG), Heart Rate (HR), Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Body Temperature. The ECG and EEG signals are acquired using a textile electrodes integrated into the fabric of the wearer. The acquired ECG and EEG signals are processed to remove noises and the parameters are extracted and trend analysis is carried out. The Physiological parameters are monitored at the remote Monitoring station using a ZigBee wireless communication.

  • Fibre-meshed transducers based real time wearable Physiological information Monitoring system
    Eighth International Symposium on Wearable Computers, 2004
    Co-Authors: Ravindra Wijesiriwardana, K. Mitcham, Tilak Dias
    Abstract:

    Unobtrusive sensors are an important element in wearable systems. One approach in constructing unobtrusive transducers is to use smart materials and then integrate them into smart unobtrusive fabric structures. These types of transducers are called fabric transducers (Fibre-Meshed Transducers or FMTs). Fabrication is carried out via textiles manufacturing processes. In this paper we have discussed three types of FMTs and their applications. Also the discussion is further extended towards real time Physiological Monitoring system. We have constructed resistive, inductive and capacitive transducers with electronic flatbed knitting technology. The resistive FMTs that were developed inherited with limitations. The inductive FMTs are used for motion and gesture capturing of the kinematical joints of the human body, and capacitive FMTs are used as bio-potential electrodes, which were used to measure ECG. Also we have used the capacitive FMTs as switches. Further we have developed a PDA based wearable Physiological Monitoring system by using these novel FMTs.
