Need of wearable biosensors What is a biosensor ? Types Of Wearable BiosensorsApplicationsAdvantagesDisadvantagesConclusion
NEED OF WEARABLE BIOSENSORS
remote monitoring of patients.
training support for athlete.
monitoring of individuals who work
with
hazardous elements.
tracking of professional truck
driver’s vital
signs to alert them of fatigue.
WHAT IS A BIOSENSOR ?
Biosensor is an analytical device,which converts a biologicalResponse into electrical signal
COMPONENTSBiosensor Consists of 3
parts:
1. Biological component2. Physiochemical
component.3. Signal processor.
RING SENSOR. SMART SHIRT.
WEARABLE BIOSENSORS
TYPES-
DEVELOPMENTS
Smart Shirt Ring Sensor
RING SENSOR
LED’s and Photodiodes.
First stage amplifier.
Sample and Hold circuit.
Signal Conditioner.
CPU.
RF Transmitter.
Hardware:
Applications:- Wireless supervision of people during hazardous
operations.
In an overcrowded emergency department.
Chronic surveillance of abnormal heart failure.
In cardio-vascular disease for monitoring the
hyper tension.
Advantages:-
Continous monitoring.
Easy to use.
Reducing hospitalization fee.
Initial cost is high.
Limited number of physiological
parameters can be monitored.
DISADVANTAGES-
SMART SHIRT SYSTEM
Medical monitoringCombat casualty careSports/Performance monitoringSpace experimentsMission Critical/hazardous application
APPLICATIONS OF SMART SHIRT
ADVANTAGES:-
o Easy to wear and take
off.
o Continous monitoring
Initial cost is high.
Battery life is less.
DISADVANTAGES:-
FUTURE TRENDS:- Smart shirt technology opens up existing opportunities to develop adaptive & responsive systems that can think & act based on the user conditions stimuli & environment.
Certain individuals are susceptible to anaphylaxis reaction (an allergic reaction) when stung by a bee or spider and need a shot of adrenaline immediately to prevent further fatalities. by applying advancements in MEMS(Micro-Electrochemical systems) technology we can achieve that.
The Smarts shirt’s delta acquisition capabilities can be used to detect the condition when an individual is lapsing into a diabetic shock and this integrated feedback mechanism can provide the appropriate response to prevent a fatality.
CONCLUSION:- It is anticipated that the smart shirt will bring personalized
and affordable healthcare monitoring to the population at large.Limitations:sensitivity and battery life. Advanced technologies such as the smart shirt have at partial to dramatically alter its landscape of healthcare deleivery and at practice of medicine as we know them today.it is leading to the realization of “Affordable healthcare, anyplace,anytime,anyone.
