Abstract

Wearables are quite useful in monitoring crucial parameters during patient-care in medical units and in fitness assessment. They indicate the cardiac system state of a user from the collected data and provides reliable, relevant, real-time health information about a patient. This Work describes an all-in-one wearable based on Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensor. The proposed device can compute heart rate (HR), respiration rate (RR), blood pressure (BP) concurrently, utilizing the magneto plethysmography (MPG) signal received from our wrist. It uses an MSP432 microcontroller and a newly developed compact 'Dual GMR- single magnet' positioning architecture.
