Pulse Oximeter using PSoC
Abstract: A pulse oximeter to measure the oxygen saturation in blood as well as heart rate was developed using PSoC. The method proposed here is to transmit light of two different wavelengths through the finger and tissues and to measure the change in absorption intensities. The signals are obtained as photoplethysmograph (PPG) waveforms. The pulse oximeter finds the variations in both the waveforms and calculates the SpO2 and heart rate of …

IoT-Based Healthcare Monitoring for COVID-19 Home Quarantined Patients
Abstract: 4–5 days after a person contracts the COVID virus, symptoms typically start to show. It's possible for some people's symptoms to go undetected for up to two weeks. Fever, lightheadedness, headaches, dyspnea, dry coughs that eventually produce phlegm, and in rare instances, loss of taste and smell are the predominant symptoms of COVID 19 infection. Rashes and other skin issues have sporadically been reported. One example is the reddish-purple spots …

Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy: An Ayurvedic Review and Treatment: A Case Study
Abstract: One of the most severe and potentially fatal conditions of the infant brain that can develop before or during delivery is HIE. Common definitions of HIE include HYPOXIC (insufficient oxygen), ISCHEMIC (insufficient blood flow), and ENCEPHALOPATHY (brain disease). It is a terrible disease that can leave children with severe neurologic deficits or even kill them. HIE happens when a baby's brain receives insufficient oxygen and blood (perinatal hypoxia), which results …

Signal Drift Compensation in Polymer-Based Wearable Biosensors Using Data Processing Techniques
Abstract: Polymer-based wearable biosensors have emerged as promising platforms for continuous physiological monitoring due to their mechanical flexibility, low operating voltage, and compatibility with soft biological interfaces. However, their long-term deployment remains challenging because of signal drift caused by polymer ageing, hydration–dehydration cycles, ionic trapping, and environmental variations. These effects introduce baseline fluctuations and sensitivity degradation, which compromise the reliability and interpretability of physiological measurements. This study proposes a data-processing–driven framework …

Comparative Study of Rocuronium Bromide and Succinylcholine Regarding Ease of Intubating Conditions and Hemodynamic Parameters for Rapid Sequence Intubation in Adults
Abstract: Background: Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is an airway management procedure designed to quickly secure the airway while reducing the likelihood of gastric aspiration during anesthesia induction. For many years, Succinylcholine has been regarded as the preferred neuromuscular blocking agent for RSI because it produces muscle relaxation rapidly and has a relatively brief duration of action. However, its adverse effect profile – including hyperkalemia, bradyarrhythmias, malignant hyperthermia, and increased intracranial and …
