Designing Telemetric Data Acquisition System For Clinical Studies

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic approach to design a PC-based telemetric data acquisition system for clinical studies. This involves understanding signal characteristics, signal pick-up devices, mechanism to transfer signal telemetrically, and other data acquisition hardware components. Most of the clinical studies involve capturing and processing biological signals like cough, sneeze, snore, and pain. A PC-based telemetric data acquisition could be an excellent solution for monitoring and analyzing these signals, which help in quantifying the effect of a particular drug used in a clinical study.
