Implementación de un sistema no invasivo de monitoreo de la actividad cardíaca en adultos mayores residentes en Bogotá

Abstract

With the increase of people suffering heart diseases, it becomes important for people to have frequent and reliable information about their vital signs, therefore ratifying a need to go regularly to the doctor to be able to make decisions based on this information. It should be noted that in many cases, the measurement that can be taken in a doctor's office does not reflect what the patient may feel in daily life, as alterations such as those produced by the effect known as Whitecoat, where the patient's anxiety caused by a medical visit can alter their cardiac activity, and therefore affecting the result of the diagnosis. This project proposes the implementation of a non-invasive wearable system for monitoring heart rate and blood pressure based on photoplethysmography, portable and wireless.
