Advanced smart pillboxes are needed for use with the heart rate regulating drugs. The most important component of these pillboxes is the heart beat rate sensor. In this study, experimental analyses have been performed with different optical sensors namely HRM-2511B transmissive sensor, TCRT1000 reflective sensor and PulseSensor reflective sensor in heartbeat sensing. All of the sensors provide very similar frequency signals captured from the left index finger. All the sensors give quite similar and correct measurement results when compared with the reference device. However, the measurement consistency is highly dependent on the placement of the fingertip on the sensor. TCRT1000 and PulseSensor sensors require additional mechanical setup while HRM-2511B sensor is already equipped with a robust fingertip fixing mechanism. In the future, we are planning to develop an advanced smart pillbox based on the HRM-2511B sensor. © 2017 IEEE. 2017 Medical Technologies National Conference, TIPTEKNO 2017 -- 12 October 2017 through 14 October 2017 -- -- 134046 |
