The traditional electrocardiograph (ECG) is used to record heart activity under the supervision of doctors or well-trained medical personnel in the hospital or clinic. However, due to the advances in the MEMS technology in recent years, wearable ECG sensors are developed to collect ECG signals in daily life. The ECG signals can reveal the activity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The fluctuations...
Tocolysis is a treatment to prevent premature labor and thus can reduce the happening of perinatal and neonatal mortality. In developed and developing countries, the increasing of elderly primigravidae usually accompanies the increase in the preterm birth rate and therefore raises the need for tocolysis. To fulfill the increasing need, more tocolytic centers have been established, such as the one...
Due to the increasing of elderly primigravidae, the demand of the tocolysis is more than before. In this project, NCTU and ITRI worked together to improve the Maya Tocolytic System at Mackay Memorial Hospital by augmenting remote real-time physiological data transmission and display on smartphones. Doctors can have real-time physiological data to make diagnosis and provide advice remotely by leverage...
The emergence of wearable devices based on advances in MEMS and low-energy technologies makes low-cost sustained physiological monitoring possible and brings health care into a new territory. But until now, most wearable devices for physiological monitoring do not have FDA approval and the measured data may have some level of noise. In this work, to understand the feasibility of applying wearable...
