Non-Invasive Physiological Activity Monitoring System

公共空间机构已经确定了它们对便携式自主系统的需求，该系统可以识别症状、匹配治疗方案、诊断或预测健康状态，并将信息传输到基地(例如空间站、诊所、医院)。在此背景下，拟议的研究将开发一个自主的无线传感平台，监测、记录和分析关键生理参数及其对相关体力活动的反应。非侵入性生理活动监测系统(NiPAMS)由专门构建的硬件组成，由本地软件控制，运行数字信号处理(DSP)算法，提供与心率、呼吸频率、血压和体温相关的可物理验证的实时生物测量结果。研究的结果是：(I)模拟数字信号处理得出的测量和传感器信号之间的关系的数值模型，(Ii)将传感器信号转换为生理和体力活动指标的实时DSP算法，以及(Iii)量化体力水平和身体运动以改善生理测量。这项拟议的研究将通过确保努力探索月球以外的宇航员的健康、健康和体格，为加拿大在太空探索领域的突出地位做出贡献。与我们的工业合作伙伴MDAVSS合作，并在麦吉尔医学院专家的支持下，这项提议的动机是通过利用航天界为宇航员提供计算机化医疗保健的迫切需要，开创一个可获得健康、健康和健身技术解决方案的时代。在这样做的过程中，加拿大人将受益于通过一种用户友好的设备更容易获得生理监测，该设备将能够及早识别症状、健康跟踪和更新健康轨迹预测。该项目将培养一名PDF、两名博士生和两名英语硕士。学生学习尖端技术，准备为有利于加拿大经济的行业发展做出贡献。

Public space agencies have identified their need for a portable, autonomous system that can identify symptoms, match treatment options, diagnose or predict health states, and transmit the information to a base (e.g., space station, clinic, hospital). In this context, the proposed research will develop an autonomous, wireless sensing platform that monitors, records, and analyzes key physiological parameters and their response to associated physical activity. The Non-invasive Physiological Activity Monitoring System (NiPAMS) consists of purpose-built hardware controlled by native software that runs Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms to deliver physically verifiable, real-time biometric measurements related to the four vital signs - heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. The outcomes of the research are: (i) numerical models that simulate the relationship between digital signal processing derived measurements and sensors signals, (ii) real-time DSP algorithms that convert sensor signals to physiological and physical activity metrics, and (iii) quantification of exertion levels and physical motion to improve physiological measurements. The proposed research will contribute to Canada's prominence in the space exploration community by ensuring the health, wellness, and fitness of astronauts who endeavor to explore beyond the moon. In collaboration with our industrial partner, MDAVSS, and with the support of specialists at McGill's Faculty of Medicine, this proposal is motivated by the prospect of ushering in an age of accessible health, wellness, and fitness technology solutions by leveraging the space community's imperative to provide computerized healthcare to astronauts. In doing so, Canadians will benefit from the increased accessibility to physiological monitoring via a user-friendly device that will enable the early identification of symptoms, fitness tracking, and updated predictions of health trajectories. The project will train one PDF, two Ph.D. students, and two M.Eng. students in leading edge technologies, preparing them to contribute to the development of industries that will benefit the Canadian economy.
