Descrição

This paper describes a smart suit with sensors and electronics for monitoring patients at hydrotherapy sessions in swimming-pools. The smart suit allows the monitoring of the heart rate, patient posture and activity level. The sensors input are converted in a PWM using a V-F converter. A robust, low-voltage (3.0 V) and low-power electronic wireless CMOS RF interface was implemented at 433 MHz using ASK modulation.
