As we are turnning into the aged society, accidents by falling down are increasing in the aged people's group. In this paper, we design the system with the 3-Axis acceleration sensor which is composed by a single chip. The body activity signal is measured with the signal detector and RF communicator in this proposed system and the and falling by the entering signal pattern analysis with 3-Axis acceleration sensor. For the RF communication, we are using nRF24L01p and 8bits ATmega uC for the processor. The error of energy expenditure estimation between motor driven treadmill and proposed a body activity module was 7.8% respectively. Human activities and falling is monitored according to analyze and judge the critical value of the Signal Vector. as falled down if they don't turn off the alarm after specific period and the aged person's after falling down activities are their position and more.

A measurement unit and signal processing algorithm have been developed for predicting arterial oxygen saturation noninvasively. The measurement set-up was composed of a probe including light source and photodetector, optical signal processing section, LED driving circuit, PC interface software for data acquisition and data processing software. Light from the LED's was irradiated onto the finger nail bed and transmitted light was measured at different wavelengths. An effective baseline correction method was developed and measured data were analyzed by using various data processing methods and prediction algOlithms. For performance evaluation, a pulse oximeter simulator (Bio- Tek Instrument Inc.) was used as reference. The best performance in terms of the correlation coefficient and the standard deviation was obtained under the following conditions; when the arterial signals were computed in terms of area rather than peak-valley difference, and when the algorithm calculating by $In(I_p/I_v)/I_{avr}$ value for pulsation waveform was used. In in vivo test, prediction was improved when the developed baseline correction method was used. In addition, wavelengths of 660 nm and 940 nm provided better linearity and precision than wavelengths of 660 nm and 805 nm. 05 nm.

The dielectric properties of cereal grains such as short-grain rough rice, brown rice and barley with various moisture contents were determined by measuring the attenuation and phase shift of the microwave signal trough the grain samples at 9.5GHz. The microwave free-space transmission measurement system consisted of sample holder, horn antenna and network analyzer. Dielectric constant and loss factor of grain samples increased with moisture content and bulk density and agreed well with previous research results. Moisture density, which is defined as the product of moisture content and bulk density, was proposed as a bulk density and variety compensation factor. The technique for measurement of dielectric properties based on free-space transmission may be useful for other particulate materials.

The signal data from human body is very various and much. Because the signals can not occur equally to everyone, so when they analyze their signals, these signals can be used to diagnosis each health sign. In this system, human fingertips are connected with the five vital organs and the six viscera, and if we use these oriental medical diagnosis we can measure the pulse. temperature, and resistant from by reflective photosensor and interpret it's true and false.

With the increased attention about health care and management of heart diseases, ubiquitous healthcare services and related devices have been actively developed recently. In this paper we developed a mobile healthcare system which consists of smartphone and patch-type ECG measuring device. This system is capable of monitoring, storing, and sending bio signals such as ECG, heart rate, heart rate variability as well as exercise management functions through heart rate zones. With monitoring bio signal continuously by mobile healthcare system and wearable device like us, people can prevent chronic disease and maintain good health. Here we report our implementation results on real platforms.

In order to apply the patient monitoring system to the hospital field, it is necessary to be able to measure and analysis data the major bio-signals that are basically covered by the existing patient monitoring system. We have implemented a wearable device and the patient monitoring system for measuring ECG and oxygen saturation. The implemented system transmits the measured bio-signal to the server on the nursing station via Bluetooth. It is represented by graph waveforms and numerical values that can be checked by the medical staff in the patient monitoring system. The validity of this system is verified by comparing the data collected through the designed system with the data obtained from the conventional equipment.

Purpose: Electroretinogram(ERG) signal noise as well as conducting other bio-signal measurement were generated. It was intened to enhance the accuracy of retinal-related diagnosis with removing signal noise. Methods: Sampling signal was made with generating 60 Hz noise and white noise. The noise were removed using wavelet transforms and bandpass filter. De-noising frequency was compared with Fourier transform spectrum. Removed noises were compared numerically using SNR(signal to noise ratio). Results: The result compared Fourier transform spectrum was showed that 60 Hz noise removed completely and most of white noise was removed by wavelet transforms. 60 Hz and the white noise remained using bandpass filters. The result compared SNR showed that wavelet transforms was 22.8638 and bandpass filter was 4.0961. Conclusions: Wavelet transform showed less signal distortion in removing noise. ERG signal is expected to improve the accuracy of retinal-related diagnosis.

Recently, the demand for remote patient monitoring based on IoT has been increased due to aging population and an increase in single-person household. A non-contact biological signal measurement system using multiple IR-UWB radars for remote patient monitoring is proposed in this paper. To reduce error signals, a multilayer Subtraction algorithm is applied because when the background subtraction algorithm was applied to the biological signal processing, errors occurred such as voltage noise and staircase phenomenon. Therefore, a multilayer background subtraction algorithm is applied to reduce error occurrence. The multilayer background subtraction algorithm extracts the signal by calculating the amount of change between the previous clutter and the current clutter. In this study, the SVD algorithm is used. We applied the improved multilayer background subtraction algorithm to biological signal measurement and computed the respiration rate through Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). To verify the proposed system using IR-UWB radars and multilayer background subtraction algorithm, the respiration rate was measured. The validity of this study was verified by obtaining a precision of 97.36% as a result of a control experiment with Neulog's attachment type breathing apparatus. The implemented algorithm improves the inconvenience of the existing contact wearable method.
