[Progress and Application of Bioelectrical Impedance Measurement Methods].

The bioelectrical impedance measurement is a detection technique that uses the electrical characteristics and changes in human tissues and organs to detect biomedical information related to human physiological and pathological conditions. This article makes a comprehensive introduction from the aspects of impedance cardiography, electrical impedance respiratory monitoring, electrical impedance tomography, electrical impedance gastric dynamics detection technique, contact impedance and so on, as well as comprehensively introduces the progress and application status of bioelectrical impedance measurement methods.

[Development of a Wearable Wireless ECG Monitoring System with Ultra-low Power Consumption].

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.
