Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

Errors occurring during blood pressure monitoring

Errors occurring during blood pressure monitoring

Blood pressure monitoring is a crucial clinical procedure in diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions. Despite its significance, the accuracy of blood pressure measurements can be compromised by multiple factors, potentially leading to either falsely high or low readings. These inaccuracies are critical as they can significantly impact patient care. So, it is vital to understand these challenges deeply and adopt strategic approaches to minimize errors.
Several factors...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Gerontology
Wearable Technology

Background:

Falls are a significant risk for elderly individuals, leading to severe injuries and reduced independence.
The 'long-lie effect' following a fall can result in critical health complications and mortality.
Existing fall detection systems often lack real-time accuracy and automated emergency notification capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a mobile, waist-mounted device for accurate, real-time fall event detection.
To implement an automated emergency messaging system for remote notification upon fall detection.
To enhance the independence and safety of elderly individuals in unsupervised living environments.

Main Methods:

Utilized a Kionix KXM52-1050 tri-axial accelerometer to capture acceleration signals.
Integrated a Bellwave BSM856 CDMA standalone modem for real-time data transmission to a remote server.
Employed a combination of threshold algorithms and supporting methods for high-accuracy fall detection.

Main Results:

Achieved nearly 100% accuracy in fall detection within a laboratory setting.
Demonstrated real-time detection and automated emergency message transmission.
The system successfully generated an audible alarm to alert others until the subject could recover.

Conclusions:

The developed wearable device offers a highly accurate and reliable solution for real-time fall detection in the elderly.
Automated alerts and immediate notification can mitigate the risks associated with the 'long-lie effect'.
This technology promotes greater independence and safety for seniors living alone.
