A novel intelligent sphygmogram analyzer for health monitoring of cardiovascular system

A novel sphygmogram analyzer (SGA) with embedded medical advisory system is proposed to conquer the drawbacks of the existing commercial systems such as clumsy volume, awkward user-interface, and weak intelligence, etc. Firstly, benefited from the advanced embedded systems and micro-processing chips, the elementary components of SGA can be condensed into a tiny micro-system, which will greatly contribute to the wearable health monitoring devices. Secondly, the proposed SGA is distinguished due to the embedded medical advisory system, which can provide the comparative medical services while adaptive to the source restricted embedded platforms. In this paper, the hemodynamic analysis of sphygmogram is firstly introduced and then, the implementation of SGA, including data acquiring and analyzing unit (DA 2U), embedded medical advisory system ( e-MAS) boosted for the application of soft computing, and the distributed information exchanging framework, is addressed in detail.
