By increasing people's average life span, interest for health is highly growing. According to hoping to check their body condition, people have a medical checkup periodically to check their condition. But, they can prevent disease or are able to make a health care through checking people's pulse or blood pressure. In this paper, two different pulse measurement systems were developed, one system using a photosensor which is able to measure transmissivity's change through blood volume and another system using a piezo-electric sensor which can measure pulse when it measures radial artery's pressure in the wrist are realized. We compared two systems each other.

Recently, it has been increasing attention on health care that can provide remote medical service to an aging population, people with disabilities and people having a medical checkup periodically due to increasing people's average life span. Home health care system should provide reasonable cost, on-line basic health status monitoring, embedded basic medical helper function and intuitive interface. In this paper, we developed a prototype of 3G networked pulse measurement system that can detect pulse signal information from subject's fingertip using the optical sensor. The prototype had been analyzed in terms of abnormalities, feeling, timing and pulse counting accuracy. Finally we evaluated its suitability.

The photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal is one of the mainly considered bio signals along with the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. PPG signals can be used to estimate the speed of flow of blood in vein, saturation of peripheral oxygen and etc. The heartbeat rate is a common feature in order to evaluate those checkup lists. To estimate the correct heartbeat rate, dynamic noises must be removed in the PPG signal. Conventionally, the acceleration signal is used to remove dynamic noises. This method, however, increases the computational complexity. In this paper, we proposes a solution that uses only PPG signals to calculate the heartbeat rate, and which can be used as a basement in real-time healthcare solution.

본 논문에서는 섬유근접센서를 이용하여 측정한 맥박을 평가하기 위해 Biopac MP150에서 획득한 Electrocardiography(ECG)와의 관계를 보았다. 섬유근접센서는 요골동맥에서의 맥박을 측정하기 위해 $5{\times}5$ 크기로 설계하였고, 전처리 과정과 필터링을 거쳐 획득한 데이터 값은 ECG 데이터와 Peak Point의 개수를 비교하여 올바른 맥박이 측정되었는지를 판단하였다. 그 결과 섬유근접센서와 MP150에서 측정한 두 데이터의 Peak Point가 모두 동일한 결과를 보였다.

현재 대다수의 맥박(또는 심박) 측정 장치는 electrodes와 PPG로 국한되어 있다. 그러나 electrodes는 착용자의 불편감과 수입 의존성에 의한 높은 가격이라는 단점을 가지고 있으며, PPG는 동잡음에 약하다는 단점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 PPG와 flexible sensor를 동시 적용하여 상호 작용하게 함으로서 각 센서들의 단점을 보완 해줄 수 있는 하이브리드형의 맥박 측정 장치에 대하여 연구하였다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 손에서 측정하는 PPG를 발가락에서 측정하여 지속적인 무자각적 측정이 가능함을 제안한다. 발가락에서의 측정은 손이 자유로워져 일상 업무에 영향을 끼치지 않으면서 고정하기 유용하기 때문에 보다 상황에 맞는 정확한 파형 검출이 가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 발가락에서의 측정 가능성을 확인한 후 소형 device 제작 및 실험을 통해 손과 발에서 PPG를 측정, 비교하여 발가락에서도 PPG 파형 검출이 가능함을 보인다.

Currently, as the number of families living with companion animals increases, the demand for information about the health status of companion animals has increased. As the demand for this increases, there is a need for a method to measure respiration and pulse in companion animals. Considering the characteristics of hairy companion animals, we want to measure respiration and pulse signals using BCG, which is different from adsorption ECG. Since this BCG method is made by mixing respiration and pulse signals into one signal, it is necessary to separate the respiration signal waveform and the pulse signal waveform from one signal waveform. In this paper, a wearable device for BCG measurement was implemented to measure the signal, and a method of separating the signal input from the BCG wearable device into a respiration signal and a pulse signal was proposed.

A pulse oximeter is a device which provides non-invasive estimate of percentage oxygen saturation of haemoglobin (SpO2). Due to the limitations of resources of personal health devices (PHDs) including pulse oximeters, they generally transmit the estimated data to a remote monitoring server through a close manager (e.g. mobile device or PC). Therefore, communication protocols between PHDs and a manager is an important research topic in terms of interoperability. In this paper, we present design results of an SpO2 transmission agent based on the ISO/IEEE 11073 (X73) protocol. The protocol is an international standard for PHDs. The agent is an embedded program which generates X73 messages from the estimated pulse rates and SpO2, and transmits the messages to a close manager. The agent consists of a Session, Message and Memory Handler. The Session Handler manages a communication session with the manager, and the Message Handler generates and analyzes the exchanged messages according to the X73 protocol. The Memory Handler extracts pulse rates and SpO2s which are stored in a memory of the pulse oximeter. The SpO2 transmission agent allows pulse oximeters to communicate with managers based on x73 standard. Consequently, the interoperability between the pulse oximeters and the managers is guaranteed.
