=The 10usd TeleHealth Module= |
|||
* This low cost, multifunction peripheral will provide a means through which the XO can relay valuable medical diagnostic data from the field to doctors many kilometers away. |
|||
* Good documentation needed, possibly via svg/javascript animations. |
|||
* It will compose of a three lead EKG providing valuable information about the heart's electrical status, enabling diagnosis of congenital defects and various arrhythmias. |
|||
* It will also contain a multipurpose NIR diagnosis tool whose primary function is that of a pulse oximeter, providing information about the oxygen saturation of the blood. |
|||
** See nirdiagnositics.com for other NIR functions |
|||
* The long, time consuming parts |
|||
** Getting approval from governmental and medical organizations. |
|||
** Providing an intuitive interface and a pictograph manual. |
|||
** Drivers, integration with [[Measure]], and construction of a usable [[TeleHealth Database]]. |
|||
== 3 Electrode EKG == |
|||
* How to do it |
|||
** The first part is the actual hardware part. A circuit, possibly USB powered, using op-amps, would amplify the signal received by the sensor array(of three to twelve electrodes in contact with the skin, in proximity to the heart), to a voltage usable by an ADC |
|||
** The second part is the safety part, due to the proximity to the heart, strict regulation of leakage current is needed. |
|||
** The third part is adapt [[Measure]] to increase functionality as a [[Telemedicine]] platform. |
|||
*Implementation |
|||
** Multiple Op-Amps pick up, amplify, and filter electrical impulses picked up by near-heart electrodes. |
|||
*** Older EKGs used suction based reusable electrodes, an adaption of these may be best suited for the third world where replacements are scarce. |
|||
** DyD/DyDisMe has schematics for an EKG using AD620A style op-amps. |
|||
*** 4.1044-7.3 usd |
|||
** Ram Dhurjaty, a medical device professional who has had substantial experience with EKG amplifiers, has pointed suggested that there are better amplifiers than the AD620. |
|||
** Dirakx(Rafael Ortiz) is currently in the prototyping phase of an EKG, to incorporate into the THM, as of Nov. 14th of 2007 |
|||
== NIR Diagnosis Aid == |
|||
* Based on the principles of the differences in absorption of oxygenated and non oxygenated hemoglobin |
|||
* 800-1000nm light from LEDs are often used in NIR tools |
|||
** The most cited frequencies for IR Pulse Oximetery include 805nm, 910nm, and 940nm. |
|||
** 940nm IR LED; 12.2c per unit |
|||
* Red light is generated from similar LEDs. |
|||
** 10-20c per unit |
|||
* Light is picked up by photodiodes, converted to current. |
|||
* This current is amplified and converted to voltage by a [http://media.maxim-ic.com/images/qv/3760.gif MAX4006] or equivalent chip |
|||
** 1.275 usd |
|||
== ADC/DAC == |
|||
* C8051F321 or equivalent chip |
|||
** A/D 5x10b minimum |
|||
** This specific chip provides A/D 13x10b |
|||
* alternatively a USB micro-controller may communicate with dedicated ADC/DAC chips via PWM, to lower cost. |
|||
* Honza Kovar(Jan), from the Czech republic, has acquired development board for the C8051F321 MCU, and will assist with programing and development. |
