動的にパラメタを変更可能なZigBeeを用いた無線EMG/ECG取得システム

抄録

This paper deals with a novel wireless bio-signal acquisition system employing ZigBee wireless technology, which consists of mainly two components, that is, intelligent electrode and data acquisition host. The former is the main topic of this paper. It is put on a subject's body to amplify bio-signal such as EMG or ECG and stream its data at upto 2 ksps. One of the most remarkable feature of the intelligent electrode is that it can change its own parameters including both digital and analog ones on-line. The author describes its design first, then introduces a small, light and low cost implementation of the intelligent electrode named as “VAMPIRE-BAT.” And he show some experimental results to confirm its usability and to estimate its practical performances.
