Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Informatics
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Traditional biosignal acquisition devices can be expensive and complex.
  • There is a need for cost-effective and user-friendly tools for teaching biosignal processing in medical informatics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple, inexpensive device for biosignal acquisition tailored for didactic purposes in medical informatics laboratory classes.
  • To develop a versatile system capable of recording multiple biological signals for both educational and basic clinical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Development of two units: a 'student unit' for basic signal lessons and a 'demo unit' for broader applications.
  • Implementation of capabilities to record optical pulse, sphygmogram, electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), and electromyogram (EMG).

  • Inclusion of adjustable parameters such as sampling rate, gain, and filtering for flexible data acquisition.

    • Main Results:

    • The device successfully facilitates the acquisition of various biosignals, including ECG (1-4 leads) and EEG/EMG (1-4 channels).
    • The system's configurable settings (sampling rate, gain, filtering) support diverse didactic requirements.
    • The 'demo unit' offers potential for tele-acquisition via the Internet, expanding its utility.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented biosignal acquisition device is a cost-effective solution for medical informatics education.
    • Its flexibility and range of features make it suitable for both laboratory instruction and preliminary medical practice.
    • The system supports remote data collection, enhancing its applicability in modern healthcare and education settings.
