Raksh
A low-cost, bluetooth-based, ear-worn multi-parameter monitoring platform
A concept project - it is a device is a small ear worn device with a slim low profile flexible sensor arm which is below the child’s nasal passage the design is inspired partly by modern hearing aids and headset microphone for our respiration sensor. The ear as the location as opposed to chest for not only comfort but also from a medical stand point. The data from the device is streamed to either a BLE compatible smartphone or a smart bluetooth internet gateway device which uploads the data to a server. The data is presented to a doctor on a web page or an app on the patient information using intelligent graphs and analytics highlighting abnormal conditions such as instances of Tachypnea (abnormal breathing) or high body temperature. The doctor can also see the effect of medication provided by seeing changes in the various physiological parameters measured by the device enabling doctors to get accurate feedback of the condition of the child.
