Abstract

Abstract : The design of a wearable, portable and reconfigurable physical activity and an eight‐channel bio‐potential data logger, capable of increasing compliance by enabling customised feedback (i.e. calories expenditure and amount of physical activity) is presented while recording clinically meaningful information regarding a subject's health. Here an application of the device to the cardio‐vascular system comprising simultaneous recording of ECG and activity in both resting and under‐stress conditions is presented (clinical trials are performed under the supervision of expert cardiologists at Prince of Wales Hospital NSW, Australia). The designed device (based around the low‐power LPC1768 ARM processor and the bio‐potential front‐end ADS1298) is an open‐source one and is provided under the GPL GNU 3.0 collaborative licence.
