In this paper we describe the design and successful implementation of a remotely operated physiological monitoring device.
The participants were fitted with a ProComp Infiniti (Thought Technology) physiological recording device that recorded the ECG (256 Hz) and skin conductance (32 Hz).
Participants are loaned a BioHarness 3 (Zephyr Technologies, USA) physiological sensing device to wear during exercise.
The REMOTE system, comprising a physiological sensing device, smartphone and web apps, and a middleware platform, supports simultaneous monitoring of multiple participants.
Complex-valued neural networks have been found highly useful in extending the scope of applications in optoelectronics, filtering, imaging, speech synthesis, computer vision, remote sensing, quantum devices, spatio-temporal analysis of physiological neural devices and systems, and artificial neural information processing [20, 21].
As complex physiological monitoring devices are getting smaller, cheaper, and more portable, personal monitoring devices are being used outside of clinical environments by both patients and enthusiasts alike.
The use of physiological measurement devices such as the Hexoskin may eventually become a non-intrusive way to continuously assess physiological measures in older adults with dementia who are at risk for distressing behavioral and psychological symptoms.
Each is equipped with anesthesia carts for animal surgery, an operating table, a surgical microscope, a desktop autoclave, a blood gas analyzer and various physiological monitoring devices including a computer controlled real time physiological monitoring station (blood pressure, EEG, and laser Doppler flowimetry).
It is a low-cost, non-intrusive system supported by Graphical User Interface (GUI) software, and has been successfully tested and integrated in a broad array of physiological recording devices at the Human Physiology Laboratory in the University of Granada.
