Thus, they are, for instance, very suitable for being applied as electrodes integrated in clothing to measure biomedical parameters of a person. For this purpose they need to be modified to provide reliable electro-conductive properties. This can be achieved by depositing metals on the textile surface. Copper and gold are good materials to be used for this purpose because of their outstanding electro-conductive properties and possibility to deposit them in form of a thin layer on the surface of a fiber. In this work preference was given to copper. Hence, a thin layer of copper was deposited on synthetic yarns by means of an electroless deposition. This paper states the coating method for the copper deposition on para-aramide yarns. Further, it reports the first results on the characterization of the copper layer and the performance of the resulting yarns.","PeriodicalId":269861,"journal":{"name":"2009 Sixth International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131106693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To capture GRF, force plates and foot pressure insoles are commonly used. Due to cost and portability issues, such systems are mostly limited to lab-based studies. Long-term, continuous and pervasive measurement of GRF is not feasible. This paper presents a novel concept of using an ear-worn sensor for pervasive gait analysis. By emulating the human vestibular system, the bio-inspired design sensor effectively captures the shock wave generated by the GRF. A hierarchical Bayesian network is developed to estimate the plantar force distribution from the ear sensor signals. The accuracy of the ear sensor for detecting GRF is demonstrated by comparing the results with a high-accuracy commercial foot pressure insole system.","PeriodicalId":269861,"journal":{"name":"2009 Sixth International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124280277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tag powers up by harvesting ambient RF energy, and contains a low-power integrated circuit, an antenna and up to four microphones. The chip, which consumes only 1.0uW of power, generates digital events when the outputs of any of the microphones exceeds a programmable threshold voltage, combines such events together by using a programmable logic array, and transmits them to a base station by using backscatter modulation. The chip can also be programmed to trade-off microphone sensitivity for power consumption. In this paper, we demonstrate that the tag, when attached to the chest, can reliably measure heart rate at distances up to 7m from an FCC-compliant RF power source. We also suggest how delays between signals measured by microphones at the wrist and neck can be used to provide information about relative blood-pressure variations.","PeriodicalId":269861,"journal":{"name":"2009 Sixth International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116014607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve high-throughput communication in low-cost wireless body area networks, we propose a low complexity,“pulling” MAC protocol. Such a network architecture consists of low-complexity nodes and moderate complexity base stations, which act as clients to pull data from the nodes that act as thin servers. This organization achieves intra-network collision-free multiple access as in TDMA but without expensive time synchronization. It also achieves high utilization of air bandwidth and adaptivity of CSMA protocols but without collision or complexity on the node side. Experimental results show that our pulling protocol achieves better good channel utilization of up to 52.8% and high data throughput of up to 432Kbps. We also tested our MAC protocol on a wireless ECG system. Our MAC protocol can transmit ten simultaneous streams of data at 200 samples per second each from ten sensing devices.","PeriodicalId":269861,"journal":{"name":"2009 Sixth International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116118125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper a field programmable analogue ASIC working on the discrete-time mode for biomedical signal filtering was presented. The ASIC we have developed incorporates a switched-capacitor based analogue module, a current source, a voltage source, an oscillator, and a double-phase non-overlapping clock source offering different clock rates. By alternating the circuit topologies and the clock frequencies for the on-chip switched-capacitors the ASIC could be dynamically configured as a high-pass filter or a low-pass filter with adjustable cut-off frequencies and pass-band gains. The ASIC was fabricated using the SMIC 0.18um CMOS technology with a die size of 1.0mm×1.2mm and the power consumption of approximately 1.1 mW. The ASIC was fully tested and the results indicated that the ASIC performed as desired.

It has been shown that the Pulse Arrival Time (PAT) measured as the delay between the ECG peak and a point in the finger PPG waveform can be used to estimate systolic and diastolic BP. Our aim is to evaluate the performance of such a method using the available MIMIC database, while at the same time improve the performance of existing techniques. We propose an algorithm to estimate BP from a combination of PAT and heart rate, showing improvement over PAT alone. We also show how the method achieves recalibration using an RLS adaptive algorithm. Finally, we address the use case of ECG and PPG sensors wirelessly communicating to an aggregator and study the effect of skew and jitter on BP estimation.","PeriodicalId":269861,"journal":{"name":"2009 Sixth International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125420746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to reduce the power consumption for the wearable system, the method has been developed to operate at a sampling rate of 1000Hz, instead of 8000Hz. In the design, we use two regular air conductive microphones and a bone conductive microphone to increase the accuracy of detection and make it robust against environmental noise. The two air-conductive microphones capture breathing sound while bone-conductive microphone is placed over the manubrium of the sternum in patients to record chest wall lung sound. The simulations are conducted using lung sounds from patients with wheezes and human subjects with no wheezes under different SNR conditions. The results show that the proposed method is robust against environmental noise and has good performance on wheeze detection. The approach has been implemented onto a PDA and tested with some real data.","PeriodicalId":269861,"journal":{"name":"2009 Sixth International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125938898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of explicitly defining gait features that indicate injury or impairment, an automatic method of feature extraction and selection is proposed.

It was validated on three datasets; the first simulating a leg injury, the second simulating abdominal impairment that could result from surgery or injury and the third is a dataset collected from a patient during recovery from leg injury. The method shows a clear distinction of gait between injured and normal walking.
