Abstract:
At present,the most of mainstream monitoring device for nocturnal penile erection adopts wired connection,and the volume of host is larger and the weight of that is heavier,which affect the wearing experience.This research developed a micro-wearable monitoring device for nocturnal penile erection on the basis of flexible pressure sensing technique.This device selected flexible material of stripe to carry the sensing module of capacitor and pressure(signal acquisition module),control module with Bluetooth transmission and power supply module.The design of software system adopted respectively the hardware program of device for signal acquisition of erection and assessment software of computer for erection function.Compared with the comprehensively diagnostic instrument RigiScan of mainstream for the function of penile erection,the volume of the prototype of this device only was 2.38%by RigiScan,and the weight of that only was 3.94%by RigiScan,and the power consumption of that only was 12.22%by RigiScan,which can realize monitoring of wireless and low tactile sensation.It has a series of characteristics included weak wearing sensation,small volume,lightweight and low-power consumption,which is contribute to enhance the wearing experience of monitored person,and eliminate psychological interference,and increase the accuracy of monitoring.
