=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. |
|||
* 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 |
|||
== 3 Electrode EKG == |
|||
* 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. |
|||
== 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. |
|||
==THM|DB== |
|||
* Some talk of a pictograph/text based diagnosis library/activity has been made. |
|||
* [[User:DyD]] has collected some diagnosis aids used by a local hospital. |
|||
* [[User:ZdenekBroz]] has been working on a wikislice of relevant medical information. |
|||
* A very simple pygtk/xml based activity could be made using if/elseif clauses to mimic a diagnostic flowchart. |
|||
* The biggest problem here is legal liability, a hefty disclaimer may be needed. |
