Abstract The University of Connecticut, Department of Biomedical Engineering has developed a device to be used by patients to collect physiological data outside of a medical facility. This device facilitates modes of data collection that would be expensive, inconvenient, or impossible to obtain by traditional means within the medical facility. Data can be collected on specific days, at specific times, during specific activities, or while traveling. The device uses biosensors to obtain information such as pulse oximetry (SpO2), heart rate, electrocardiogram (ECG), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), and weight which are sent via Bluetooth to an interactive monitoring device. The data can then be downloaded to an electronic storage device or transmitted to a company server, physician's office, or hospital. The data collection software is usable on any computer device with Bluetooth capability, thereby removing the need for special hardware for the monitoring device and reducing the total cost of the system. The modular biosensors can be added or removed as needed without changing the monitoring device software. The user is prompted by easy-to-follow instructions written in non-technical language. Additional features, such as screens with large buttons and large text, allow for use by those with limited vision or limited motor skills.

This paper discusses the realization of vital sign monitoring devices and knowing their performance. This device is expected to assist medical personnel in measuring and monitoring vital signs without having to have physical contact with patients. The design phase of the patient's vital sign monitoring device with an Arduino Mega-based wireless sensor starts from the identification, needs analysis, design, manufacture, troubleshoot, and testing. Arduino Mega and ESP8266 as the main components that function for the controller and upload data to the server. Then MAX30100, DS18B20, and MPX5700AP sensors which function to detect the vital sign. Android smartphones are used to display measurement results in real-time, save and display vital sign data records. Based on the test results, the patient's vital signs monitoring device has an average difference of 0.67% for temperature checks, 1.19% for pulse checks, 0.77% for SPO2 examinations, 4.78%, and 8.91% for systolic and diastolic blood pressure examinations.

BACKGROUND Background: Continuous hemodynamic monitoring is the standard of care for patients intraoperatively, but vital signs monitoring is performed only periodically on post-surgical wards, and patients are routinely discharged home with no surveillance. Wearable continuous monitoring biosensor technologies have the potential to transform postoperative care with early detection of impending clinical deterioration. OBJECTIVE Objective: Our aim was to validate the accuracy of the Cloud DX Vitaliti™ Continuous Vital Signs Monitor (CVSM) continuous non-invasive blood pressure measurements in post-surgical patients. Usability of the Vitaliti™ CVSM was also examined. METHODS Methods: Included patients were recovering from surgery in a cardiac intensive care unit. Validation procedures were according to AAMI - ISO 81060-2 2013 standards for Wearable, Cuffless Blood Pressure Measuring Devices. In static (seated in bed) and supine positons, three 30-second cNIBP measurements were taken for each patient with the Vitaliti™ CVSM and an invasive arterial catheter. The errors of these determinations were calculated. Participants were interviewed about device acceptability RESULTS Results: Data for 21 patients were included in the validation analysis. The overall mean and SD of the errors of determination for the static position were -0.784 mmHg (SD 4.594) for systolic blood pressure and 0.477 mmHg (SD 1.668) for diastolic blood pressure. Errors of determination were slightly higher for the supine position at 3.533 mmHg (SD 6.335) for systolic blood pressure and 3.050 mmHg (SD 3.619) for diastolic blood pressure. The majority rated the Vitaliti™ CVSM as comfortable. CONCLUSIONS Conclusion: The Vitaliti™ CVSM was compliant with AAMI-ISO 81060-2:2013 standards and well-received by patients.
