monitoring of vital physiological signals has proven to be one of the most efficient ways
for continuous and remote tracking of the health status of patients. Electrocardiogram
monitors are often used in many medical service centers and hospitals to diagnose and
monitor a person’s health status by measuring their cardiac activity. An ECG is a
noninvasive monitor, which can be utilized to evaluate the heart electrical activity,
measure the rate and regularity of heartbeats, the position of the chambers, identify any
damage to the heart and investigate the effect of drugs and devices used to regulate the
heart. This procedure is very useful for monitoring people with (or susceptible to)
impairments in their cardiac activity. In addition, during surgical procedures, the
electroencephalogram (EEG) is measured along with his/her ECG to track the
consciousness level of a patient during anesthesia [7]. Other physiological parameters
such as oxygen saturation in hemoglobin, electromyography and blood pressure similarly
provide vital information about the health of a given person when continuously
monitored. One of the invariable risks associated with space missions are the threats
posed by the very harsh spatial environments to the physical and mental health of the
astronauts. Being exposed to these types of environment for long periods of time has
adverse impact on cardiac, muscular, and neurological functions on astronauts [3]
(example of reduced gravity, high temperatures, planet dust particles, solar rays, etc).
Fortunately, the continuous monitoring of physiological parameters such as
electrocardiography, electromyography, electroencephalography, oxygen saturation in
hemoglobin and variability of cardiac frequency may provide crucial information for a
rapid diagnosis of medical conditions in astronauts; preventing the growth of any health
condition to proportions susceptible to cause mission failure or even death of a crew
member. To provide a means to continuously monitor several physiological parameters
using just one device, a variety of multi-parameter monitors (or biomonitor) systems have
been introduced in the past few years, with many of them currently used by hospitals,
researchers, and NASA. Although, these devices are commonly used to detect, process
and record several physiological signals simultaneously, the conventional telemetry
system they employ limits the freedom of movement of the subjects whose biopotentials
are being measured. First of all, most of these systems receive power from an electrical
outlet and are heavy enough to require wheeling to be displaced; making casual
movements or urgent transportation of patients from one location to another very difficult
[24], thus resulting in patients being mostly confined to their beds while in a hospital.
Moreover, besides limiting the freedom of mobility of the subjects, the wires (used to
connect electrodes and the recorder) often constitute a source of noise to the acquisition
system. And, although such stationary conditions might be acceptable in the case of a
bed-ridden patient, it cannot be used for astronauts who are required to constantly move
by their activities during space flights. The alternative commercially available
biomonitoring devices which can be used under severe non-stationary conditions such
as athletic scientific studies are very limited and prove to be costly. These devices are
also usually uncomfortable due to their heavy weight, vigorous structure and network of
lead cables running from subject to monitor. The goal of our project is to design and
fabricate a wireless biomonitor to help ...
