Das Heart Rate 9 Click Board™ verfügt über die PIC16F1779 8-Bit-MCU und den SFH 7060-Sensor zur Überwachung von Herzfrequenz und Pulsoximetrie. Dieses Click Board™ verfügt über einen Algorithmus zur Verarbeitung von Daten vom Sensor und kann Daten an 3 verschiedene Dioden (Grün, Infrarot und Rot) senden, die ein Diagramm des Herzschlags und seiner Frequenz pro Minute ausgeben. Die Daten haben gezeigt, dass das auffälligste Signal von der grünen Diode kommt, da sie aufgrund ihrer kürzesten Wellenlänge unter den drei Lichtquellen die beste Reflexion durch die Hautoberfläche aufweist. Implementierung einer Lichtbarriere zum Blockieren von optischem Übersprechen und verbesserte Geometrie für optimierte Signalqualität.
Die meisten reflektiven Herzfrequenzmonitore weisen trotz der Verwendung komplexer und teurer analoger Schaltkreise wie Analog Front End (AFE)-Chips immer noch erhebliches Rauschen auf. Es ist eine kostengünstigere Methode zur Reduzierung des Rauschens und zur Durchführung dieser Messungen erforderlich.
How Does The Heart Rate 9 Click Board™ Work?
The Heart Rate 9 Click Board™ utilizes a Phase Division Multiplexing technique to simultaneously measure multiple signals with zero cross talk. This technique is implemented using the PIC16F1779 MCU's integrated Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) from Microchip. Using the CIPs allows you to achieve a low-noise reflective heart rate monitor design with significantly lower BOM costs than conventional designs.
The Heart Rate 9 Click Board™ introduces Microchip's proprietary method (hereafter "proprietary method") of measuring multiple signals in a body using pseudorandom binary sequence generation and phase division multiplexing. This proprietary method uses a special encoding/decoding scheme to allow multiple light-emitting diodes (LED) transmitting light simultaneously with a single photodiode to condition each light from the combined lights at the receiving side.
While the blood passes through the capillary blood vessels, they expand and dilate. Their light reflectance index changes accordingly. This is the basis of the photo-plethysmogram (PPM), a method used for the volumetric measurement of an organ, or in this case - blood vessels. The heart rate signal is calculated according to the changes of the reflected green light, sensed by the PD element. The Heart Rate 6 Click Board™ can provide the HRM readings by simply placing the index finger over the optical sensor.
Oxygen saturation in the blood can be determined by measuring the light absorption in the red/IR part of the spectrum. The oxygen saturated blood absorbs more red light and less infrared than the unsaturated blood. This fact can be used to determine the oxygen saturation of the blood. For a healthy adult person, the peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) percentage ranges from 95% to 100%.
The challenge in a multiple signal sources system (for example, the LEDs in the case of a pulse oximeter) is that each LED must share the same photodiode. A classic solution is to turn on each light source in sequence and then take each measurement in turn. Each light source gets its own slice of time in which the photodiode can get its measurement. This method is called Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM). The same principle is also applied to the TDMA-based cellular system. The drawback of the TDM approach is that adding more light sources, while keeping the data processing routine the same, results in more time to get a measurement from every source.
Microchip's proprietary method uses a known concept called Maximal Length (ML) sequence, a type of pseudorandom binary sequence, to generate a gold code or a reference sequence. This reference sequence is then phase shifted using Phase Division Multiplexing (PDM) to drive multiple LEDs. The light amplitudes from these LEDs, after passing through a part of a body, are detected by a phototransistor or photodiode and digitized with an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The digitized ADC light amplitude values are re-correlated with each LED's driving sequence. Spread spectrum techniques are known for their noise mitigation properties and ability to pass multiple signals through the same medium without interference. Thus, these measurements of each light absorption of the body can be performed substantially simultaneously with minimal interference from each other.
The SFH7060 made by OSRAM integrates three green, one red, one infrared emitter and one photodiode that are all placed in a reflective type of package. The reflective photosensing method has become increasingly popular in developing small, wearable biometric sensors, such as those green light sensors seen in the back of smart watches or activity tracker wristbands.
