This study describes the development of a wireless and wearable ECG monitoring system with ultra-low power consumption. The system is mainly composed of a connection part of an ECG electrode sticker, an electrocardiogram collecting part, a data storage part, a Bluetooth main control unit, a charging module, a voltage regulator and a lithium battery. The low-power ECG acquisition chip ADS1292R and the ultra-low-power Bluetooth microcontroller nRF51822 together constitute the ECG signal acquisition and wireless data communication part. The collected ECG signals can be sent to the mobile APP through the Bluetooth function provided by the MCU, and can completly display and analysis to achieve low power system. After testing, the system power consumption is only (3.7 V×2.87 mA)10.619 mW, and if it is optimized, it can further reduce power consumption, therefore, the system design can have good applicability.

In order to diagnose and evaluate the human spinal lesions through the paravertebral muscles, a paravertebral muscle monitoring system based on surface EMG signals was designed. The system used surface mount electrodes to obtain the surface myoelectric signal (sEMG) of paravertebral muscle. The signal was filtered and amplified by the conditioning circuit. The signal was collected by the microcontroller NRF52832 and was sent to the mobile APP. After the signal was preprocessed by the wavelet threshold denoising algorithm in APP, the time and frequency characteristics of the sEMG signal reflecting the functional state of the muscle were extracted. The calculated characteristic parameters was displayed in real time in the application interface. The experimental results show that the system meets the design requirements in analog signal acquisition, digital processing of signals and calculation of characteristic parameters. The system has certain application value.

An unconstrained cardiac output detection system based on thoracic electrical impedance method and embedded technology is developed in this study. PWM function of PIC embedded MCU, PIC18F4520, and filter circuit are used to generate a constant current sinusoidal signal with a frequency of 50 kHz and a current RMS of 2 mA, which is applied as an exciting signal to the exciting electrodes located on the positions behind ears and on right lower abdomen. The thoracic electrical impedance is measured by the detecting electrodes pasted along the medial line on the front of the thorax, and is used to calculate cardiac output. A comparative experiment with the thoracic impedance method and the dye dilution method is carried out and the results are investigated. The experimental results show that the two methods have good consistency.

The article aims to discuss the feasibility of using respiratory sounds to monitor respiratory rate. The average power of respiratory sounds was created firstly, the autocorrelation algorithm was used to calculate the respiratory cycle. The respiratory cycle of nasal flow pressure signal was calculated simultaneously, and the result was taken as a reference standard, then, two groups of respiratory cycle data were analyzed by correlation analysis and Bland-Altman analysis. The respiratory rate is relatively stable, using respiratory sounds monitor respiratory rate is feasible, the respiratory rate changes obviously, the existing methods and algorithm using respiratory sounds are temporarily unable to accurately reflect the changes of respiratory rate, further research is needed.
