Portable implementation of profuse perspiration indicator for use in disease symptom detection

Abstract

A system for monitoring patients for the cold sweat symptom and giving instant signal if they break into sweat has been proposed in this work. A method was devised to create such a system for indicating profuse perspiration by continuous monitoring of Galvanic Skin Resistance. For this purpose a circuit was designed, an algorithm was created and certain steps were followed towards achieving the goal of detecting profuse perspiration. Finally, a system was created that would immediately notify if a person's skin gets moist. Special attention had been given to create the system with easily available components for use in technologically unadvanced nations.
