Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As remote monitoring device in home medical care, nail tip sensor which can be attached to fingernail is developed. Without any cable, this nail tip sensor can measure pulse wave in real time, and obtain heart late by analyzing the data. Nail tip sensor can realize rigid fixation over a long period of time, due to hardness of the nail. Sensory nerves and sweat gland is not distributed in fingernails, therefore the sensor can be used without uncomfortable feeling. Multi point simultaneous measuring is also realized by the sensor, because human body has twenty nails. In this research, measurement circuit of the nail tip sensor is developed and pulse wave measurement in daily life environment is carried out.
