Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin have created a stick-on, thin, flexible, stretchy electrode array that can pick up EEG signals from the brain, which are around 10-times smaller than ECG signals from the heart. On to this is mounted an electronics package that extracts and wirelessly transmits the acquired signals. “Unlike EEG caps that are bulky with ...

Electronica: Wrist-wearable ref design measures blood oxygen, ECG, heart rate, temperature and activity

Maxim-maxrefdes104fig01

Maxim is measuring blood oxygen, ECG, heart rate, body temperature and activity data in its third generation of wearable health monitor reference design, this time entirely wrist-worn. Called Health Sensor Platform 3.0 (aka MAXREFDES104#), it comes in a ready-to-wear wrist form with algorithms to provide heart rate, heart-rate variability (HRV), respiration rate (RR), SpO2 , body temperature, sleep quality and ...

Healthcare costs could be cut by an app for android phones that stores and displays electrocardiograms sensed over a wireless body area network (BAN). Hardware and software have come from consortium of: Belgian Lab IMEC, its Dutch subsidiary Holst Centre, and embedded software firm TASS. “The innovation is a low-power interface that transmits signals from a wireless ECG sensor system ...

Brain processor drives word processor

European engineers have developed a brain wave sensor that allows paralysed people to write. The Mind Speller is a EEG-based (electroencephalogram-based) device that detects and interprets ‘P300’ event-related potentials in the brain signals of a person that is looking at a display presenting alternate rows and columns of characters (video). “P300 potentials are often used as metrics of cognitive function ...
