background & objective: reduced blood flow due to obstruction in most cases is as a primary factor in pressure ulcer formation and create of bedsore. the aim of this study is design and manufacture a care system tissue under pressure based on variation blood flow at different depths in the tissue. material & methods: in manufacture of system two infrared light transmitter were located between of 5 and 10 mm receivers to measurement of blood flow at two different depths in the under pressure heel tissue. also blood flow was evaluated in unload condition and after loading with 30 mmhg respectively 60.0 mmhg. results : 15 participates with mean age 50 were evaluated. 9 (60%) were men and 6 (40%) of them were women. primary measurement results had shown different individual differences in variation blood flow tissue. to study signal amplitude changes significantly influenced by external pressure ppg, p-value was measured. there is significant changes in ppg signal amplitude during loading both pressure 30 and 60 mmhg. conclusions: development of this system would be possible with increases flexibility probe and using potent optical receiver and transmitter to access more depth

Designing and Constructing Blood Flow Monitoring System to Predict Pressure Ulcers on Heel

Background: A pressure ulcer is a complication related to the need for the care and treatment of primarily disabled and elderly people. With the decrease of the blood flow caused by the pressure loaded, ulcers are formed and the tissue will be wasted with the passage of time.Objective the aim of this study was to construct blood flow monitoring system on the heel tissue which was under external...

Designing and Constructing an Optical System to measure Continuous and Cuffless Blood Pressure Using Two Pulse Signals

Introduction Blood pressure (BP) is one of the important vital signs that need to be monitored for personal healthcare. Arterial blood pressure is estimated from pulse transit time (PTT). This study uses two pulse sensors to get PTT. The aim of this study was to construct an optical system and to monitor blood pressure continuously and without cuff in people with different ages. Materials and M...

An Optical Measurement System to Measure Velocity and Provide Shock Wave Pressure Diagrams

This paper introduces an optical measurement system for shock wave characteristics. The system works by mountinga metal plate attached to spring mounts against the shock wavefront. This set is sealed and can plot the shock wave pressure diagram by measuring plate's displacement, radiation and changing the reflection of light during shock wave conflict, and converting these optical data to volta...
