Analog ECG controlled by Arduino to monitor cardiac parameters
Actualmente, el sedentarismo y los malos h谩bitos de vida est谩n produciendo serios problemas
en la salud de la poblaci贸n humana. Entre estos graves cambios se encuentra el
evidente empeoramiento de la salud cardiovascular de la poblaci贸n tal y como evidencian
las estad铆sticas oficiales y el creciente n煤mero de dispositivos electrom茅dicos para tratar
las enfermedades cardiovasculares. Este proyecto constituye un acercamiento al proceso
de dise帽o y producci贸n de un dispositivo electrom茅dico como es un electrocardi贸grafo
anal贸gico que, comunicado con una placa de desarrollo Arduino permite la adquisici贸n y
procesamiento de una se帽al de electrocardiograma. Para ello, se lleva a cabo un proceso
de investigaci贸n de los fundamentos biol贸gicos y electr贸nicos exhaustivo con el fin de
justificar cada fase del proceso de desarrollo del dispositivo. Posteriormente, se exponen
las diferentes fases del proyecto desde la toma de requisitos hasta la fabricaci贸n final del
dispositivo y las pruebas pertinentes. Con este proyecto se pone de relieve la importancia
de un trabajo multidisciplinar que incluya diversos 谩mbitos de trabajo como el m茅dico y
el electr贸nico
Flexible Wirelessly Powered Implantable Device
Brain implantable devices have various limitations in terms of size, power, biocompatibility and mechanical properties that need to be addressed. This paper presents a neural implant that is powered wirelessly using a flexible biocompatible antenna. This delivers power to an LED at the end of the shaft to provide a highly efficient demonstration. The proposed design in this study combines mechanical properties and practicality given the numerous constraints of this implant typology. We have applied a modular structure approach to the design of this device considering three modules of antenna, conditioner circuit and shank. The implant was fabricated using a flexible substrate of Polyimide and encapsulated by PDMS for chronic implantation. In addition, finite element method COMSOL Multiphysics simulation of mechanical forces acting on the implant and shank was carried out to validate a viable shank conformation-encapsulation combination that will safely work under operational stress with a satisfactory margin of safety
Wirelessly Powered and Modular Flexible Implantable Device
State-of-the-art advances in battery-free and flexible implants require new materials and devices for brain behavior recording and stimulation where the constraints in terms of mechanical and electrical matching are crucial. Wireless Power Transfer based neural implants consist of receiver antenna, power management circuit, and shank for power transmission, recording and stimulation. Here, the implementation of a novel implantable device fabricated on a flexible polyimide substrate and a modular approach to implant device typology is introduced. A flexible substrate of polyimide is chosen to provide better implant-brain tissue mechanical, biocompatibility and biointegration compliance. Both, electrical and mechanical analysis are provided to prove the correct operation of the fabricated device under the modelled environment. COMSOL Multiphysics mechanical modelling in implantation case is carried out to analyze the optimal shape and material choice
