P. C. Pandey: An embedded system design for a synchronous demodulation based noninvasive bioimpedance sensor (invited talk)

Abstract: A long-duration noninvasive monitoring of bioimpedance has the potential of serving as a low-cost diagnostic tool and monitoring device in several medical applications, e.g. impedance cardiography (sensing of variation in thoracic impedance to estimate cardiac output and some other hemodynamic parameters), pneumography (sensing of respiratory parameters), plethysmography for sensing peripheral blood circulation, glottography (for sensing movement of vocal chords), etc. These instruments pass an alternating current of high frequency and low amplitude through a pair of appropriately placed pair of electrodes, an amplifier to sense the resulting amplitude modulated voltage across the same or another pair of appropriately placed electrodes, a demodulator to detect the impedance signal, and signal processing for obtaining the desired parameters. An embedded system design approach is used to develop a body-worn device to be used for monitoring the clinically important physiological parameters during critical care, for ambulatory recording for early diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders and for post-operative care, for monitoring of physiological parameters for use in sports medicine, and as a low-cost diagnostic aid. It senses the basal value and time-varying component of the impedance waveform, with settable excitation frequency and with very low noise and demodulation related distortions. A microcontroller and an impedance converter chip are used for stable sinusoidal source with programmable frequency control and a digital synchronous demodulation. A voltage-to-current converter with balanced outputs is designed using two operational trans-conductance amplifiers for current excitation. The sensed voltage is added with a sinusoidal voltage obtained from the excitation source and with digitally controlled amplitude and polarity to increase its modulation index before digital synchronous demodulation and for baseline correction of the sensed impedance signal. Two digital potentiometers have been used to provide independent control over current excitation and baseline correction. Synchronous digital demodulation in the impedance converter chip gives real and imaginary part of the impedance. An isolated RS232 interface is provided to set the parameters and to acquire the sensed impedance signal.
