Abstract :
It is important to assess blood vessel conditions of our daily life. We, therefore, developed a reasonable healthcare monitoring system with pulse wave analysis. Filter circuits were carefully designed to carry out the detailed pulse wave analysis, considering a possibility of smartphone or tablet applications. The proposed analyzer can predict arterial states and stiffness. The healthcare system was evaluated by monitoring pulse waves in real time during hypoxia. The user interface with compatible software could be easily applied to mobile healthcare devices.
