An Integrated Wearable Sensor for Unobtrusive Continuous Measurement of Autonomic Nervous System

Autonomic Nervous System Testing

A utonomic nervous system testing is used to document diabetic autonomic failure. Diabetic autonomic failure is defined as impaired function of the peripheral autonomic nervous system and can be divided into two categories: 1) autonomic neuropathy, in which there is a structural lesion of the peripheral autonomic neuron and 2) functional autonomic failure, in which no known structural lesion oc...

Autonomic Nervous System Derangements

Despite these findings, mostly in the cardiac, esophageal and colon tissue 5,14,15, no correlation exists between the intensity of neuronal destruction and dilation of the heart or other microscopic indices of myocarditis in the chronic phase14. Histopathologic foci of damaged nervous tissue are found in a diffuse and irregular distribution. Neuronal parasitism, with periganglionitis and degene...

An Integrated Wireless Wearable Sensor System for Posture Recognition and Indoor Localization

In order to provide better monitoring for the elderly or patients, we developed an integrated wireless wearable sensor system that can realize posture recognition and indoor localization in real time. Five designed sensor nodes which are respectively fixed on lower limbs and a standard Kalman filter are used to acquire basic attitude data. After the attitude angles of five body segments (two th...
