Adaptive Wearable Vital Signs Monitor for Home Care and Sports

Abstract

This paper presents new idea of remote control over a wearable general purpose health monitor based on biosignals. The autonomy of wearable devices is usually an opposite requisite to the interpretation intelligence requiring computation power. The idea of device programmability is applied to continuous optimization of resources use towards the best diagnosis quality. The proposed concept of programmable recorder assumes high flexibility of the remote device, however only certain aspects of adaptation were implemented up to today. The application of such monitors extends beyond the traditional long term ECG recording and covers the area of sports, endurance, stress, pregnancy and elderly surveillance in various combinations.
