The development of an automatic fall detection/alert system is described in this paper. The system acquires information relating fall of an elderly via a body sensor unit and transmit it to an android mobile phone. The developed android application collects the information from body sensor unit and automatic SMS facility is initiated to sent text messages. The developed algorithm alert family members, care taker or medical practitioner with a short message service (SMS) facility. The SMS also includes information regarding the location of fall, so that the person can be exactly found and saved. This will help facilitate the fast and efficient management of the encountered situation thus lead the way to early detection of falls events among the senior person in the home or community environments.

Development and validation of a tablet PC enabled noninvasive body sensor system for rural telehealth application are discussed in this paper. This system includes real time continuous collection of physiological parameters (blood pressure, pulse rate, and temperature) and fall detection of a patient with the help of a body sensor unit and wireless transmission of the acquired information to a tablet PC handled by the medical staff in a Primary Health Center (PHC). Abnormal conditions are automatically identified and alert messages are given to the medical officer in real time. Clinical validation is performed in a real environment and found to be successful. Bland-Altman analysis is carried out to validate the wrist blood pressure sensor used. The system works well for all measurements.

This system includes real time continuous collection and evaluation of physiological parameters like blood pressure, pulse rate and fall of an elderly at home. A reliable wireless personal area network like bluetooth has been used for this purpose. The hardware design of this system consists of sensors, PIC microcontroller, bluetooth module and mobile phone/laptop. This system provides safe and accurate monitoring. It also gives the freedom of movement.
High precision resistance spot welding with subdural electrodes for acute electrocorticography applications
2017 IEEE International Conference on Power, Control, Signals and Instrumentation Engineering (ICPCSI), 2017

Subdural electrodes are made by welding Platinum/Stainless steel discs to Platinum/Iridium wire. Precise welding of electrode parts are essential for ensuring biocompatibility and proper impedance to curb with noise conditions which is essential for data acquisition. This paper proposes a design and implementation of a capacitor discharge type impulse current generation for resistance spot welding of subdural elctrode parts. Weld strength test like tensile test and vibration test of subdural electrode parts made of stainless steel were conducted to validate the process invitro.
BER Performance Evaluation of Different Digital Modulation Schemes for Biomedical Signal Transceivers under AWGN and Fading Channel Conditions

Compared to the conventional RF transceiver, the tran sceiver in medical sensor nodes has more stringent constraints i terms of power consumption, size limitation and the quality o f transmission. Digital modulation schemes used in th e wireless transceivers plays an important role in the perform ance of the transceiver. In this paper the Bit error rate (BER) of different digital modulation schemes are compared under AWGN, Rayleigh and Rician fading channels to identify a suitable di gital modulation scheme for biomedical application.

This system includes real time continuous collection of physiological parameters (blood pressure, pulse rate) of a patient and wireless transmission to a tablet PC which can be monitored for diagnosis by a medical practitioner. A reliable wireless personal area network like bluetooth has been used for data transmission. The hardware design of this system includes blood pressure sensors, PIC microcontroller, bluetooth module and a tablet PC. The system will generate and send warning messages to the doctor/care giver, when the sensor values exceed the permissible range.
