Wireless monitoring pulse oximeter, blood
oxygen concentration (SpO2) and fall detection
Consists of four units
◦ Receiving Display unit (RDU)
◦ 3 Transmitting Sensor Units (TSU)




All units will be worn by the patient
Finger sensor will obtain pulse and SpO2 and
transmit
Chest and thigh sensor will determine patients
posture information
Waist display will receive data, display data, and
transmit emergency signals






Ultimately to monitor patients for chronic
heart and related health conditions
Remotely contact emergency services
Provide location to emergency services of
patient
More affordable than existing wireless units
Ideal for a variety of users
Maximum protection at minimal to no cost
Transmitting Sensor Units (TSU)
 To be worn on the finger, wrist, chest and right thigh
 Battery powered
 Control the pulse oximeter sensor
 Make calculations to achieve pulse and oxygen concentration data
 Determine the posture of the patient
 Measure patient’s angular velocity and acceleration
 Monitor unit’s battery life
 Transmit data wirelessly to the waist unit (RDU)
Receiving Display Unit (RDU)
 Receive data wirelessly from TSUs
 Display patient’s pulse and oxygen concentration
 Contact emergency services
 Monitor unit’s battery life
 Audible and visual alerts for critical conditions, loss of signal and battery
life, and display personal information

• Non-invasive optical measurement of heart rate
and blood oxygen saturation
• Hemoglobin is the red colored substance in
blood and is the carrier of oxygen
• Red and infrared light are attenuated less by the
body tissues and more by blood (600nm,
940nm)
• Light shines through finger and strikes a
photodiode, which creates a very small current
based on the amount of light incident on the
photodiode
• This determine attenuation of light based on the
output of the photodiode

Sensor
◦ Generate alternating pulses of light at 600nm (red) and
940nm (infrared)
◦ Photodiode must detect light in the range of 600nm to
940nm
◦ Convert photodiode current to voltages values between
0V to 2.3V
◦ Accuracy of ±2% (70% - 100%)
◦ ±2 BPM for pulse


Transmit a maximum of 10 ft
MCU
◦ Two DACs 12-bits
◦ Three ADCs 12-bits
◦ 12 GPIOs




To calculate pulse oximetry the photodiode current must
be converted to a voltage
This voltage has both a DC and AC component that
represents attenuation of light
DC-constant volume of blood used for auto gain control
AC – ebbing and flowing of blood used for measurements



Control alternating
pulses by pair of LED
select lines (STG3155)
Common power lines
DAC controls current
through system to avoid
damage to LEDs







MCU determines DAC output based on DC component input
Utilizes constant DC equation because the DC component from
the red and infrared LEDs must be the same
AGC constantly monitors output from diode and adjusts to
maintain the same voltage
Co is the concentration of oxyhemoglobin (Hb02)
Cr is the concentration of reduced hemoglobin (Hb)
𝛼𝑜𝑛 is the absorption coefficient of Hb02 at wavelength 𝜆𝑛
𝛼𝑟𝑛 is the absorption coefficient of Hb at wavelength 𝜆𝑛
