Abstract
Heart failure is a fatal cardiovascular disease in which the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the requirements of the body. Traditionally, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is used for the monitoring and management of heart failure. However, ICD is an implantable solution that requires surgery and is expensive as well. We have previously developed a wearable device that monitors parameters similar to ICD for the monitoring and management of heart failure. These parameters include heart rate, thoracic impedance and activity status. This paper, will discuss the experimentation and results of the device on heart failure patients. We have used the device to measure heart rate, thoracic impedance, and activity status on heart failure patients with ICDs. The results obtained from our non-invasive device are then compared with those obtained from the ICDs to validate our device. Our non-invasive device has shown to perform close to the ICDs rendering it a cost-effective alternative for heart failure patients.
期刊介绍:
Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research is an open access journal dedicated to the research, design, development, and application of bio-sensing and sensing technologies. The editors will accept research papers, reviews, field trials, and validation studies that are of significant relevance. These submissions should describe new concepts, enhance understanding of the field, or offer insights into the practical application, manufacturing, and commercialization of bio-sensing and sensing technologies.
The journal covers a wide range of topics, including sensing principles and mechanisms, new materials development for transducers and recognition components, fabrication technology, and various types of sensors such as optical, electrochemical, mass-sensitive, gas, biosensors, and more. It also includes environmental, process control, and biomedical applications, signal processing, chemometrics, optoelectronic, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic sensors, as well as interface electronics. Additionally, it covers sensor systems and applications, µTAS (Micro Total Analysis Systems), development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals, and analytical devices incorporating biological materials.
