BIOTELEMETRY:
Biotelemetry is defined as transmitting biological and physiological data from remote location that has capability to interpret the data &affect decision making Biotelemetry is an electrical measurement of biological activities in living organism. Without disturbing the normal condition.
SCHEME OF BIOTELEMETRY
ELEMENTS OF BIOTELEMETRY Transducers is used for converting the biological variables into electrical signal. Signal conditioners amplifiers use for modifies the signal for effective transmission. Transmission links are providing a medium for transmitting the signal with low distortion. Transmitter & Receiver is use for
TYPES OF BIOTELEMETRY
Human biotelemetry:
Human biological signal (ECG, EMG, EEG, temperature, pressure, etc.)
Animal biotelemetry
Animal behavior, atmosphere effect, etc.
Marine biotelemetry
For Marine biology
Space biotelemetry
Biological parameters of astronauts
DESIGN OF BIOTELEMETRY SYSTEM The telemetry system should be selected to transmit the bioelectric signal with high efficiency & simplicity. The size and weight of the telemetry system should be small. It should be more stability & reliability. The power consumption should be low.
BATTERIES
Lithium Mercury oxide (-Possible health hazard) Silver oxide Alkaline Rechargeable nickel-cadmium
Mostly use for animal biotelemetry. Frequency range about 27MHz to401MHz(wild)100Mhz (for biomedical by NASA ) Not preferable for human biotelemetry.
By using satellite. Tracing remote, wild ranging. Usually use on larger animals.
Infrared light wavelength 950nm. No problem for frequency selection. Low harmful for human body Low power consumption.
TELEPHONIC TELEMETRY
Public telephone can be use Useful in rural area No restriction in patient mobility
ULTRASONIC TELEMETRY Ultrasonic telemetry most used for underwater measurements Frequency range from 10KHz to 1MHz Mostly PINGER transmitter is use for this
RESEARCH FIELD OF BIOTELEMETRY Power supply source. Size of Biotelemetry system. Signal conditioning of Biotelemetry signal. Transmitter & Receivers.
CONCLUSION
Biotelemetry systems have been used for about forty years and have become a useful tool for obtaining bioelectrical and physiological data from humans and animal species, and for monitoring these variables as well. Biomedical telemetry is a special area of biomedical instrumentation that permits transmission of physiologic information from an inaccessible location to a remote monitoring site.
