Abstract  

A new low-power wrist-worn miniature device used for real-time wireless heart rate (HR) monitoring was presented. A novel pulse signal detection method based on double channels of pulse sensing of the radial artery and ulnar artery as well as their differential signal was proposed. A miniature device consisting of sensors, signal condition system was fabricated. The micro-controller is responsible for power administration, and calculation of auto gain control algorithm and heart rate algorithms. The average currents are about 10 μA and 300 μA in standby and active modes, respectively. Ten male subjects were selected to test the performance of the device through a three-hour continuous test in their resting condition with the reference of a Holter monitor. The HR of the device was compared with the HR from the ECG signal recorded by the Holter monitor. The experimental results indicate that the arithmetical average error is about 0.3 BPM.
