Abstract:
Objective To design a system for monitoring pulse wave transit time (PWTT) in working condition non-intrusively and continuously. Method The system was composed of wireless ECG sensor and wireless pulse wave sensor which measure pulse wave signal from the temporal artery and ECG signal from body synchronously and calculates PWTT continuously. Result Both the wireless ECG sensor and the wireless pulse wave sensor were small sized and powered by button battery. And the accuracy of time synchronization about sensors was less than 1 ms. The calculated PWTT changed slowly with deep breathing. Conclusion The system works smoothly for continuous monitoring of PWTT in working condition.
