Popis: Electrocardiography response (ECG) and Electroencephalography response (EEG) have been often applied in modern medical field. With the development of modern medicine, Galvanic skin response (GSR) also has becoming a reliable medical diagnosis. This paper presents the design and implementation of a novel medical healthcare system which use GSR as the relaxation factor. The system adopts wireless RF module PTR8000 to transmit the measurement data between the primary stage and the subordinate stage. The subordinate stage collects the GSR signal and converts analog signal into a digital signal, then sends it away; the primary stage receives the data, then stores and displays them. The paper illustrated the principle of wireless GSR healthcare system, its main components, and the flow chart of the system. Experiments have demonstrated that our system is reliable and useful in the healthcare field.
