Bluetooth Sensors

ITIV Telemetry Platform: Bluetooth™ Sensors

Overview

 

Various medical sensors with telematic interface have been implemented during the previous work project of the group. There are two different types of sensors: sensors which have been developed completely at the ITIV and other standard sensors which have been upgraded with the Bluetooth™ technology. Using our telemetry modules the upgrading process is very easy. Certain standard Bluetooth™ devices can be integrated into our telemetry platform.

 

 

Sensors developed at the ITIV

Bluetooth™ ECG

  • 24bit, 500kHz
  • event triggered or continuous data transmission to the electronic patient file
  • integration using Blues Board I

ECG Shirt

  • example for Smart Clothes
  • flexible und washable
  • integration using Blues Board Wearable

Blood Pressure Monitor (continuously)

  • continuous & stressless blood pressure monitor without the inconvenient cuff
  • measurement by analysing pulse transit time
  • integration with Blues Board I

Context Sensor

  • acquires the situation context of the user
  • 3D acceleration meter
