Ultra low power platform for remote health monitoring

摘要

An apparatus and method is described to sense sparse signals from a medical device using compressed sensing and then transmitting the data for processing in the cloud.

主权项

1. A sensor block for collecting data from a human patient, comprising:
an amplifier; a compressed sensing analog-to-digital conversion block coupled to the amplifier; the compressed sensing analog-to-digital conversion block relying upon an inherent; sparsity and incoherence of an input signal received from the amplifier, for sampling of the input signal below the Nyquist rate to reduce power; a post processor coupled to the compressed sensing analog-to-digital conversion block; a transmitter coupled to the post processor; and an antenna.
