We address both technical and clinical issues of wearable biosensors (WBS). First, design concepts of a WBS are presented, with emphasis on the ring sensor developed by the author's group at MIT. The ring sensor is an ambulatory, telemetric, continuous health-monitoring device. This WBS combines miniaturized data acquisition features with advanced photoplethysmographic (PPG) techniques to acquire data related to the patient's cardiovascular state using a method that is far superior to existing…

Subcutaneous blood pressure monitoring with an implantable optical sensor

The in vivo measurements presented here show that the deviation to intra-arterial reference measurements of the systolic blood pressure in a physiologically relevant range is only 5.5 mmHg, demonstrated for more than 12 000 pulses, which makes the presented sensor a grade B blood pressure monitor.

Quantitative evaluation of photoplethysmographic artifact reduction for pulse oximetry

PPG artefact reduction should be incorporated into conventional pulse oximetry measurement, even in the absence of end-user artefact problems, according to the observed reduction of slight artefacts.

Second derivative of photoplethysmogram in children and young people.

The length of the vascular system and the inner diameter and wall thickness of vessels may modify the SDPTG wave pattern in the growth period and as the effects of these factors decrease, the increase in intravascular pressure and decreasing wall elasticity due to aging may affect the wave pattern.

Twenty-four-hour Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring enables identification of patients whose blood pressure is elevated in the office but normal at home, allows more appropriate screening of patients for clinical trials, gives reproducible values, and enables evaluation of drug duration and action.

Pulse oximeter probes A comparison between finger, nose, ear and forehead probes under conditions of poor perfusion *

The use of finger probes rather than probes in other sites is recommended in the patient with poor peripheral perfusion, and theOverall ranking of performance of each pulse oximeter was calculated using five criteria.

Influence of overlying tissue and probe geometry on the sensitivity of a near-infrared tissue oximeter.

The Monte Carlo simulation results showed that the sensitivity of the near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) oximeter declined greatly with increasing overlying tissue thickness, and increasing the distance between the light source and the detector improved the sensitivity.
