  • 본 연구에서는, 심전도 송수신 장치의 개발을 위한 지그비(Zigbee) 기반 무선 센서 모듈과 PDA(Personal Digital Assistant)의 데이터 전송률과 전력 소비에 대하여 분석 하였다. 데이터 전송률은 패킷(Packet) 구조에 의존적이며, 패킷을 2개의 심전도 데이터와 1개의 3축 가속도 벡터로 구성하였을 때, 초당 300 샘플의 전송률을 나타내었다. 두 개의 AAA 전지를 직렬로 연결하여, 센서 모듈의 동작 시간은 평균적으로 28시간 이었다. PDA의 전력 소비는 화면의 ON/OFF 여부와 시리얼 포트의 사용 여부 및 패턴에 의존적임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 응용에서, PDA 동작 시간은 평균적으로 5시간 정도임을 확인하였으며, 이때, PDA는 논 블로킹 모드로 시리얼 포트로부터 전송된 데이터를 수신 한다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서 개발된 장치를 24 시간 홀터(Holter) 심전계로 응용할 경우, 센서 모듈의 전력 소비와 전송 속도에는 문제가 없었으나, PDA는 전력 소모율에 문제가 있으며 이는 해결되어야할 과제이다.

  • Monitoring for the physiological state of a solider is essential to the realization of individual combat system. Despite all efforts over the last decades, there is no report to point out the optimal location of the wearable biosensors considering both monitoring accuracy and operational robustness. In response, we quantitatively measure body temperature and heartrate from 34 body parts using 2 kinds of biosensor arrays, each of which consists of a thermocouple(TC) sensor and either a photoplethysmography(PPG) sensor or an electrocardiography(ECG) sensor. The optimal location is determined by scoring each body part in terms of signal intensity, convenience in use, placement durability, and activity impedance. The measurement leads to finding the optimal location of wearable biosensor arrays. Thumb and chest are identified as best body parts for TC/PPG sensors and TC/ECG sensors, respectively. The findings will contribute to the successful development of individual combat system.

  • 본 논문에서는 인간의 신체와 관련된 상황정보를 기반으로 한 u-헬쓰케어 시스템 설계 연구이다. 최근 운동 클럽 에서 전문 트레이너와 함께 체계적인 운동을 하는 것이 웰빙에서 이슈가 되었지만, 그중에서 기존의 헬쓰케어 시스템은 단지 고정된 시스템에서 현재 자신의 혈압과 맥박, 심전도, 근전도 등의 일반적인 정보만 제공하기 때문에 장시간이나 장기간의 운동을 하기에는 시간이 지날수록 흥미도가 떨어지고, 사용자 자신에 맞는 관리를 하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서 개발된 u-헬쓰케어 시스템은 센서 네트워크와 DB를 접목한 상황 인식 시스템을 이용하여 자신의 현재 상태와 운동 진행 상태를 분석한 맞춤 운동을 할 수 있는 상황인식 기반의 서비스를 제공하는 u-헬쓰케어 시스템을 설계 개발 하였다.

  • To develop smart sportswear capable of measuring biometric data, we created a close-fitting pattern using two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D, respectively) methods. After 3D virtual fitting, the tightness of each pattern was evaluated using image processing of contact points, mesh deviation, and cross-sectional shapes. In contact-point analysis, the 3D pattern showed high rates of contact with the body (84.6% and 93.1% for shirts and pants, respectively). Compared with the 2D pattern, the 3D pattern demonstrated closer contact at the lower chest, upper arm, and thigh regions, where electrocardiography and electromyography were primarily carried out. The overall average gap was also lower in the 3D pattern (5.27 and 4.66 mm in shirts and pants, respectively). In the underbust, waist, thigh circumference, and mid-thigh circumference, the cross-section distance between clothing and body was showed a statistically significant difference and evenly distributed in the 3D pattern, exhibiting more closeness. The tightness and fit of the 3D smart sportswear sensor pattern were successfully evaluated. We believe that this study is critical, as it facilitates the comparison of different patterns through visualization and digitization through 3D virtual fitting.

  • The ventricular assist device(VAD) helps to reduce the overload against the patient's native heart(NH). The pulsatile VAD pumps out the ventricular blood to the aorta with pulsatile flow. If the VAD pulsates simultaneously with the NH, the ventricle of the NH could confronts abnormally elevated aortic pressure, and this could deteriorate the ventricle rather than assist to recover it. Thus counterpulsation algorithms to avoid copulsation have been adopted by many VADs, but these methods utilize electrocardiography or arterial pressure signals, which may have difficulties to acquire consistently for a long period. In this study, the copulsation estimation algorithm for the counterpulsation is developed using the VAD outlet pressure signal. The VAD outlet pressure signal is good to maintain for a long time and the sensor part could be integrated to the VAD as a built-in module. From the VAD outlet pressure signal and its pump rate information calculated with Fast Fourier Transform, pulse peaks by the VAD and the NH were extracted and the next copulsation time at which the VAD and the NH would pulsate simultaneously was estimated. This estimation algorithm was implemented by using PC MATLAB software and tested for various pump rate conditions with mock circulation system. For each condition, the copulsation time was estimated successfully. Consequently, the results showed the possibility to use the outlet cannula pressure signal in the copulsation estimation.

  • Background: Pulse wave velocity (PWV), which is inversely related to the distensibility of an arterial wall, offers a simple and potentially useful approach for an evaluation of cardiovascular diseases. In spite of the clinical importance and widespread use of PWV, there exist no standard either for pulse sensors or for system requirements for accurate pulse wave measurement. Objective of this study was to assess the reproducibility of PWV values using a newly developed PWV measurement system in healthy subjects prior to a large-scale clinical study. Methods: System used for the study was the PP-1000 (Hanbyul Meditech Co., Korea), which provides regional PWV values based on the measurements of electrocardiography (ECG), phonocardiography (PCG), and pulse waves from four different sites of arteries (carotid, femoral, radial, and dorsalis pedis) simultaneously. Seventeen healthy male subjects with a mean age of 33 years (ranges 22 to 52 years) without any cardiovascular disease were participated for the experiment. Two observers (observer A and B) performed two consecutive measurements from the same subject in a random order. For an evaluation of system reproducibility, two analyses (within-observer and between-observer) were performed, and expressed in terms of mean difference ${\pm}2SD$, as described by Bland and Altman plots. Results: Mean and SD of PWVs for aorta, arm, and leg were $7.07{\pm}1.48m/sec,\;8.43{\pm}1.14m/sec,\;and\;8.09{\pm}0.98m/sec$ measured from observer A and $6.76{\pm}1.00m/sec,\;7.97{\pm}0.80m/sec,\;and\;\7.97{\pm}0.72m/sec$ from observer B, respectively. Between-observer differences ($mean{\pm}2SD$) for aorta, arm, and leg were $0.14{\pm\}0.62m/sec,\;0.18{\pm\}0.84m/sec,\;and\;0.07{\pm}0.86m/sec$, and the correlation coefficients were high especially 0.93 for aortic PWV. Within-observer differences ($mean{\pm}2SD$) for aorta, arm, and leg were $0.01{\pm}0.26m/sec,\;0.02{\pm}0.26m/sec,\;and\;0.08{\pm}0.32m/sec$ from observer A and $0.01{\pm}0.24m/sec,\;0.04{\pm}0.28m/sec,\;and\;0.01{\pm}0.20m/sec$ from observer B, respectively. All the measurements showed significantly high correlation coefficients ranges from 0.94 to 0.99. Conclusion: PWV measurement system used for the study offers comfortable and simple operation and provides accurate analysis results with high reproducibility. Since the reproducibility of the measurement is critical for the diagnosis in clinical use, it is necessary to provide an accurate algorithm for the detection of additional features such as flow wave, reflection wave, and dicrotic notch from a pulse waveform. This study will be extended for the comparison of PWV values from patients with various vascular risks for clinical application. Data acquired from the study could be used for the determination of the appropriate sample size for further studies relating various types of arteriosclerosis-related vascular disease.
