Wirelessly powered miniature wearable vital signs monitor

Marzencki M., Kaminska B., Simon Fraser University, CA

In this work, we propose a novel system that employs a long range inductive link to recharge a small battery on-board a wearable device. One end of the link is integrated into the wearable device [...]

Monitoring of the major blood vessels supplying head and brain (carotid arteries) contactlessly

Kaminska B., Simon Fraser University, CA

An apparatus for measuring Carotid Arteries movement without physically connecting electrodes or other sensors to the body was developed. The measurement system was implemented to simultaneously monitor the Carotid Arteries and ECG in order to [...]

Multi-functional Wearable Device for Heart Health and Possition Assesment

Kaminska B., Simon Fraser University, CA

In this paper we introduce a wearable device combining physiological monitoring and person’s position assessment. An accelerometer is used as a multi-functional sensor for a position and heart mechanical performance measurements, known as mechanocardiography (MCG). [...]

Wireless Micro and Nano Sensors for Physiological and Environmental Monitoring

Kaminska B., Simon Fraser University, CA

A wearable physiological/environmental monitoring system and a practical implementation are presented. The technical requirements for wearable electronics and sensors have been specified with an example of ECG, oxygenometer, and wireless network-based bidirectional communication. A presented [...]

Prevention and Risk Reduction in Heart Health

Kaminska B., Tavakolian K., Ngui B., Chuo Y., Carmichael B., Simon Fraser University, CA

Identifying early onset of cardiac disease is not easy and it is very expensive. For this reason the first symptom of cardiac problems is often catastrophic. It is the goal to produce a low cost [...]
