A Limb Movement Sensing System for Health Monitoring

Physiological data acquired during ambulatory health monitoring are affected due to physical movements of limbs. Thus making it important to know about limb movements. We propose a design of a system that can sense the limb movements using several 3-axies accelerometer sensors. The accelerometer sensor signals are acquired in digital form through a programmable system on chip (PSoC) and stored in a personal computer for automated analysis of the limb movements along with the other physiological signals e.g. ECG( Electrocardiogram).
