Medical Sensors

Hi,

I'm working now in a new project for medical purposes in which we will use some sensors to monitor a patient and collect data in arduino which sends the processed data to a PC using RF transmitter/receiver.

We have two options regarding the sensors:

  1. build them, which will be a difficult process.
  2. buy them, but the problem i don't know where I can find a company that provides reliable medical sensors.

The sensors I'm looking for:

  • temp. sensor
  • Blood Volume Pulse (BVP)
  • Blood Pressure
  • Galvanic Skin Conductance.

So please, I need your advise and help to find reliable medical sensors that can be interfaced easily with arduino board.

regards,

There are temperature sensors everywhere.

The other ones are a bit trickier.

The most widely used medical temperature probes are from Yellow springs instruments. They are thermistors that change resistance with temperature. See 哎呀…您访问的页面不ζ存在-连云港※日语培训-连云港鲸〖识教育咨询有限公司

Hey!

Don't know how much this is worth, but the Lego Mindstorms unit, like the Arduino, has 10-bit resolution on it's inputs. This very simple setup works to the point of beeing able to tell when someone gets a bit stressed (like when telling a lie). http://extremenxt.com/gsr.htm Hope it helps!
