Multisensory Wristwatch System for Unobtrusive Physiological and Kinematical Signals Recording

Abstract

A wearable system for physiological and kinematical signals recording is presented. The device is able to record photoplethysmogram, acceleration, angular velocity, atmospheric pressure, galvanic skin resistance, skin surface temperature and skin humidity. One of the main problems with such data loggers is that they are overly complex and therefore becomes needless. This device is supposed to be worn on the wrist as a simple wrist watch, therefore it is unobtrusive and suitable for long term monitoring. Good functionality and several quantitative parameters of the system was attested by measurements on a healthy volunteer.
