Current Status/News

Version 7 of the device is about to be fabricated. We've taken the external PulseOximeter PCB and integrated it, as well as integrated aa AD5933-based bioImpedence monitor for respiration into this design, which increases the width by 1/3".  It's now about a 1.7x1.7 inch square.  Somehow, I don't like the symmetry anymore, but it works.  I've also added a 5th layer for routing and splitting the supplies, and a 6th layer to split the analog and digital grounds.   I'm excited though, this might be close to a final version!

 

Sensor Set

  • ECG - heart rythms
  • EMG - mussle tension (indicative of stress)
  • GSR - skin resistance (also indicative of stress)
  • Pulse Oximeter - blood oxygen saturation and pulsatile blood flow
  • Body Temperature
  • Audio - Breathing sounds (can deduce asmatic attacks) replaced by bioImpedence
  • 3-Axis Accelerometer - Movement, fall-detection in the elderly
  • bioImpedece - Breathing (quantitaive volume), Cough detection, acute pulmunary events

Other features

  • Transflash socket with FAT16 filesystem support based on a bugfixed version of dosfs.
  • Bluetooth interface (wireless telemetry, data transmission, audio transmission, dial-up-networkng)

We're looking at funding to help move this project forward. If you would care to donate, please do so through the Berkley BigIdeas..

Very impressive! I am a graduate student in Georgia Institute of Technology. I am now working on a wireless data acquisition system based on BT technology. We want to use Bluecore as well. However, I was told by their tech support that they are not supporting student projects. I was wondering where you get the datasheet and all other technical documents for the bluetooth chipset?
Thanks,
Xueliang

I had a heart attack 8 years ago that did considerable damage. I have 3 stents and have arrhythmia as well. Normal ekg monitors are well out of my price range and heart rate like Oregon Scientific is nice but is for training where as I wish to monitor my heart during work (I do stocking at a store) and possibly during sleep.
Sincerely
Billy

Dear Sir
I'm very interested in your application for my learning research.
Is it possible to have a prototype of your sensor -set for research purpose.
Thanks for a quick answer.
regards

Michele

Reza,

Not sure if you got my last e-mails...

I have been following the progress on the blog and it’s great to see that you are moving onto the data collection. Looking forward to see the results...

Good luck!

Thanks

Hi there,

Sent you an e-mail already. I am really keen on exploring possibilities of getting involved in the development and also to provide required funding to complete your final version!

Keep up the good work

Thanks

I found this page month ago on Hack a day and i thougt it is brilliant!!!
But i can´t find som schematic´s or layouts so i thougt i have to wait a bit for that.
But Months later nothing happens, so now i wrote to you and hope i can get some informations ;-)

I saw this and I thought the target market would be as a way for parents to watch their teens. Like when gps phones came out.

Sorry, I took the poster/schematic down for the time being as we're trying to sort out funding issues and I'm as of yet uncertain about the direction this will take. But feel free to email me privately and I'll do my best to help you out.

Hi Reza, agree. Awsome project! I see that you have taken away the link

http://reza.net/hm/npuc2007poster.ppt

Would it be possible to put it back online again, or to send it to me privately? I'm working on a somewhat related project, but want to translate stetoscopic sounds into control signals for PC:s... wirelessly that is. Seeing how you constructed your sound circuit/BT connection would be great ;) sds01 at mdh . se

Hey Reza, nice project, would it be possible to upload or send me your Poster from http://rezpics.com/wordpress/?p=15
to see more of your project to Metrex at uni . de

I should probably add this to the page, but you can probably get better informed by subscribing to an RSS feed from my blog, here : http://rezpics.com/wordpress/?cat=3

I really can't wait to see more about this. I keep checking back on this page for more information.

I've gotten a ton of great feedback, and believe it would be a good idea to allow people to post their thoughts in a pseudo-collaborative fashion online. Please feel free to share your thoughts.
