Fiber Bragg Grating based optical sensor for pulse morphology
摘要
Pulse wave health morphology analysing device is designed and developed using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors which involves studying the shape, characteristics, and patterns of the pulse wave. This research offers important insights on the state of the cardiovascular system, including information on variables like arterial stiffness, blood pressure, and vascular fluctuations. High-resolution data can be captured using FBG sensors, allowing for exact evaluation of pulse wave morphology for diagnosis. The risk of infection or discomfort associated with conventional invasive procedures is reduced by the non-invasive nature of FBG sensors. In this work FBG sensor is structured with a plastic component bonded with rubber. The system exhibits a high degree of sensitivity and reliability, enabling precise pulse rate monitoring. Obtained pulse waveforms are compared with PPG waveform and the results shows the high degree of similarity between the two results. This research contributes to the field of healthcare technology by introducing an innovative method that could enhance cardiovascular monitoring and management.
