A Technical Seminar On: Wearable Biosensors

This technical seminar discusses wearable biosensors like ring sensors and smart shirts. Ring sensors can continuously monitor heart rate and oxygen saturation through sensors on the finger. Data is transmitted wirelessly to a base station for storage and analysis. Smart shirts integrate sensors into fabric to monitor vital signs like temperature, heart rate, and respiration. Sensors transmit data through the shirt to a processor and then to desired locations for medical monitoring. Wearable biosensors provide continuous health monitoring and could reduce healthcare costs, though initial costs are high and battery life remains an issue. Overall, wearable sensors show promise for clinical applications and health monitoring.

A TECHNICAL SEMINAR ON

WEARABLE
BIOSENSORS
BY :
NEERAJ GUPTA
1121631050,
EC-I VITH SEM
INTRODUCTION:

Wearable sensors have evolved to the point that they can
be considered ready for clinical application.

They typically rely on wireless miniature sensors

The data sets recorded using these systems are then
processed to detect events predictive of possible
worsening of the patients clinical situations
MANUFACTURING OF BIO SENSORS:


Making of base electrode

Developing the transducer for the reaction

Producing individual Bio sensors
DEVELOPMENT
Ring Sensor Smart Shirt
RING SENSOR :

It allows one to continuously monitor heart rate and
oxygen saturation in a totally unobtrusive way

It is equipped with a low power transceiver that
accomplishes bi-directional communication with a base
station

It is used to upload data at any point in time.
RING SENSOR:
BASIC PRINCIPLE OF RING SENSOR :

Each time the heart muscle contracts, blood is ejected
from the ventricles and a pulse of pressure is transmitted
through the circulatory system.

This pressure causes vessel wall displacement which is
measurable at various points

In order to detect pulsatile blood volume changes by
photoelectric method, photo conductors are used

Contd..
Contd.
Light is emitted by LED and transmitted through the artery and
the resistance of photo resistor is determined by the amount of
light reaching it

With each contraction of heart, blood is forced to the extremities
and the amount of blood in the finger increases

It alters the optical density with the result that the light
transmission through the finger reduces and the resistance of the
photo resistor increases accordingly.

The photo resistor is connected as a part of voltage divider
circuit and produces a voltage that varies with the amount of
blood in the finger.
WORKING :
The LEDs and PD are placed on the flanks of the finger

The LED is turned ON only for a short time

The signal is sampled within this period

High frequency, low data rate modulation is used for preventing
skin-burning problem.

The motion detector can be used for monitoring the presence of
motion and is used also for cancelling the noise
MOTION DETECTOR:


PROTOTYPE OF RING SENSOR
:
First prototype ring sensor with RF
transmitter powered by a coin-size cell
battery.
Dislocation of ring sensors due to external load
(a)Traditional single-body design under
external force. (b) New isolating double ring
sensor under external force
STORAGE:
The ring has a microcomputer performing all the device
controls

The acquired waveforms sampled at 100Hz are
transmitted to a cellular phone carried by the patient.

The cellular phone accesses a website for data storage
and clinical diagnosis.
SMART SHIRT:
It is the first attempt at relying an unobtrusive, mobile
and easy to use vital signs monitoring system

The Georgia tech wearable motherboard (GTWM) uses
optical fibers to detect bullet wounds

It provides an extremely versatile framework for the
incorporation of sensing, monitoring and information
processing devices.
REQUIREMENTS OF SMART SHIRT :
MAJOR APPLICATIONS:

Mentally ill patients need to be monitored on a regular
basis to gain a better understanding of the relationship
between their vital signs and their behavioral patterns

Continuous monitoring of astronauts in space, of athletes
during practice sessions

ARCHITECTURE :
The GTWM was woven into a single piece garment (an
undershirt) on a weaving machine to fit a 38-40 chest.

The plastic optical fiber (POF) is spirally integrated into
the structure during the fabric production process

T-connectors similar to button clips used in clothing
are attached to the fibers that serve as a data bus to carry
the information from the sensors (eg: ECG sensors) on
the body
WORKING:
It is used for monitoring : temperature, heart rate and
respiration rate

In addition a microphone has been attached to transmit
the weavers voice data to monitoring locations

The flexible data bus transmits information to the
multifunction processor known as the Smart shirt

This controller in turn processes the signals and transmit
desired locations (eg: doctors office, hospital).

ARCHITECTURE OF SMART SHIRT :
APPLICATIONS
Combat casualty care.

Medical monitoring.

Sports/ Performance monitoring.

Space experiments.

Mission critical/ hazardous application.

Fire- fighting.

Wearable mobile information infrastructure.
ADVANTAGES :
Continuous monitoring

Right Treatment at the right time at the right cost

Easy to wear and takeoff.

Reducing the health care cost
DISADVANTAGES :

Initial cost is high

Battery life is less
CONCLUSION:
Though wearable sensors are applicable to restricted area
of potential market, it will definitely emerge as a boon in
the mere future.

Development of advanced receptors and molecular
recognition of elements will lead computer sensors to a
major milestone.
