[Development of Portable Bowel Sound Monitor]
Abstract:
This paper designs and implements a low power portable bowel sound monitor, which adopts bone conduction transducer to collect bowel sound continuously for long time and transmit to phone by Bluetooth. Then the phone application can record, play and analyse the bowel sound digital data in real time. This paper also designs an experiment to collect bowel sound from healthy people and patients with intestinal obstruction. It is verified by clinicians that this monitor can accurately record and preserve the bowel sound of the detected people, and is not disturbed by the external environment.
