Abstract:
PURPOSE: An electronic stethoscope apparatus for wireless sound-transmission using a separable auscultating unit are provided to obtain quantative information related to heart-sound or lung-sound using a contact type microphone composed of a piezoelectric film. CONSTITUTION: A contact type microphone(110) detects heart-sound and lung-sound. A circuit unit(125) performs an analog and digital process with respect to the detected sound signal. A battery(135) supplies power. A speaker(130) outputs the processed sound signal which is obtained from the circuit unit. A connecting terminal(140) is connected with a main tube.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for wireless data transmitting automatic blood-pressure measurement based on an oscillometric method and a K-sound method are provided to be adopted to a remote diagnosis and a home diagnosis by periodically transmitting blood-pressure values. CONSTITUTION: A pressure sensor(220) detects a pressurized absolute pressure and the oscillation waveform of an artery pulse. A contact microphone(120) including a piezo film is contacted with a position on which the artery pulse is generated, and is located in a cuff. The contact microphone detects a K-sound which is generated in case of the decompression of the cuff.
