What is a Patient Simulator? Patient Generated Physiological Signal with Known Characteristics Patient Simulator Patient Monitor http://www.healthcare.philips.com http://www.flukebiomedical.com
Current Patient Simulators Expensive Limited Functionality HE Instruments $240 Pronk® SL-8 SimSlim® $1495 Currently used in UofL Bioinstrumentation Lab! Fluke ProSim 8 $1014 http://www.pronktech.com http://www.flukebiomedical.com http://www.heinstruments.com/
Design Importance / Benefits • High Functionality for Low Cost • Who doesn't want that? • Arduino Platform • Open source • Standalone/Portable • Mass producible • Mostly off the shelf parts http://designbuddy.com/how-to-avoid-cheap-logo-design http://arduino.cc/
Design Criteria • < $50 • EKG, Blood Pressure, Respiration, & Temperature Signals • Handheld • Standalone (Battery Powered) • Simple User Interface • Compatible with Various Patient Monitors
Design Timeline V.4 V.3 V.1 V.2 DAQ http://www.gettyicons.com http://www.arduino.cc
Coding • Adapted code to disable built-in interrupt in PWM digital signal • Converting to hexadecimal and acquiring appropriate sample rate • Incorporating user interface • LCD and push buttons http://www.hdwallpapersdepot.com
Design Solution http://www.cooking-hacks.com http://www.sainsmart.com http://www.alkalinebatteries.us http://www.usbgeek.com
Available Signals • Normal EKG • Bradycardia • Tachycardia • Ventricular Bigeminy • Slow Alternating Ventricular Bigeminy • Rapid Alternating Ventricular Bigeminy • Bidirectional Systoles • Arterial Blood Pressure • Normal Resting Respiration • Obstructed Respiration • Hypoventilation • Temperature (37oC)
Testing Data • Verification • Filter must have a cut-off of 7.0 +/- 0.5 kHz (76.9 +/- 6.2 dB) • Approx. 5x larger than highest frequency we output • Difficulty in validation http://statistically-funny.blogspot.com
Future Device Improvements • Power • On/Off Switch • Casing (Battery Access) • Scroll • ...delay • Digital Pin 6 • EKG Leads • The more the merrier Clipart by 3poD - http://clipartof.com/16379
Future Device Direction Projected Growth by 2014 http://www.theiia.org/intAuditor/media/images/forward.png
Conclusions • Functional Arduino-Based Patient Simulator • 12 available signals • LCD/button user interface • Versatile banana clip outputs • Standalone, Powered by 9 volt alkaline battery • Total Component Cost of Final Simulator: ~$35
Lessons Learned • Breadboarding • PCB & Casing Fabrication • Arduino Coding • Improved Oscilloscope Proficiency • Project Management • Troubleshooting ....and how to make PIE!
