Abstract

This SuperUROP involves a medical device continuously monitoring vital signs and wirelessly sensing data for mobile device display. The current medical device collects ECG, BCG, and PPG raw data and sends data to the display terminal directly. In order to reduce power, improve data rate and boost efficiency, raw data need to be processed first and then to be sent to the display terminal. Other than signal processing, the display terminal is chose to be a smartphone. Therefore, a mobile application needs to be developed for further signal processing and display in a clinical setting.
