Abstract

In this paper, a programmable, multi-pattern, wide frequency and duty cycle range electrical stimulator is presented. Using a programmable micro-controller, two waves of carrier and modulating sources are produced. By modulating the two sources, 3 bi-phasic charge-balanced rectangular, triangular and sinusoidal stimulating patterns are produced. The frequency range of the carrier is fixed at 2.5 kHz and the carrier source frequency can be adjusted between 1 and 500 Hz. The duty cycle of both sources can be adjusted between 10% and 90%.

Abstract

The monitoring of a physically challenged patient’s activities is a crucial and difficult task for the medical professionals. The design and development of a multimodal- input and output wireless system with two sensors and three actuators that can be used for just monitoring or for both monitoring and stimulating are discussed in this research. Touch and tilt sensors at the input part of the system attached to Zigbee modules communicate in a wireless manner with voice, vibration and light actuators connected to Zigbee modules at the output part. The hardware and the software parts are designed and integrated in such a way that a new sensor at the input or a new actuator at the output can be included or excluded based on the needs of the patient. It is shown how to design and develop sensors. In an application programming interface communication mode, 3 XBee series 1 modules send and receive data in a wireless manner. The prototype of the system was tested with promising results in the case of the patients with inattention disorder. This system can be used for monitoring the activities of a patient and also for actuating certain stimulus in the patient side in case of necessity.
