WSURF Case 840
Physiological Monitoring Device
Summary
To date instrumentation for the measurement of physiological variables has been substantially limited due to the inability to detect, process, and record data from multiple channels over a broad frequency range simultaneously (e.g., a high frequency brain wave and a local blood pressure). There is a need for tools that can correlate data from multiple inputs that record events occurring at vastly different frequencies. Moreover, due to bottlenecks in clinical staffing, a need exists for physiological monitoring systems that are easy to operate. WSU Researchers have developed a small, highly sensitive, low cost system for monitoring physiological variables. Most importantly the nature of the processing electronics can correct for imperfections/variations in sensor position. This allows for in-home use by relieving the need to skilled clinical technicians.
