摘要: Obtaining physiological data from animals in a non-obtrusive and continuous manner is important to veterinary science. This paper demonstrates the design deployment of miniaturized capsule-based system for subdermal injection provide real-time heart-rate, movement, core-body-temperature measurements. The presented device incorporates sensors photoplethysmography, motion detection, temperature A bluetooth-low-energy enabled microcontroller configures sensors, digitizes sensor information, wirelessly connects with external devices. powered by CR425 battery this paper, various other solutions are available based upon use case. uses only commercially integrated circuits order reduce development cost be modular. encapsulation combination medical epoxy poly(methyl methacrylate) that fits within 6-gauge hypodermic needle. preliminary evaluation included an vitro assessment its thermal response measurement accuracy, impact one-month implantation on surrounding tissue, power consumption duty cycling signals rat chicken. Having form factor method similar existing devices animals, novel useful platform both scientists veterinarians better study diverse range animals.
