Abstract

Wrist wearable device for the measurement of pulse rate, ECG, and activity during normal daily life, which could be used for the continuous monitoring and remote transmission of acquired data, was developed. Pressure sensor, device attached electrodes, and 3-degree accelerometer were used. Analysis algorithm and firmware program were established for providing diagnostic information for the users. Results of this study, possible for the management of health report and transmission of the results through bluetooth by wearing simple personal wrist device, could be used for the development of portable device in the u-healthcare environment.

본 연구에서는 일상생활에서 지속적으로 사용자의 맥박, 심전도, 활동량을 체크하고 이를 데이터베이스화 하여 원격지에서 모니터링 할 수 있도록 하는 손목형 단말기를 개발하였다. 이를 위해 맥파 측정을 위한 압력센서, 심전도 측정을 위한 기기 부착형 전극, 활동량 검출을 위한 3축 가속도센서를 이용하였다. 검출된 정보들에 대한 신호처리 과정을 거쳐서 사용자의 건강상태를 파악할 수 있는 정량적인 정보를 제공하는 알고리즘을 수립하고 펌웨어 프로그램을 적용하였다. 개발된 기기는 사용자가 손목에 착용하여 간단히 자신의 건강상태를 체크하고 블루투스 통신을 이용해 전송할 수 있는 개인용 단말기로서, 위급상황에 대한 신속하고 정확한 조치를 가능하게 함으로써 u-헬스케어 환경에 필요한 휴대형 기기로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
