Sistema wearable de captura de datos fisiológicos para pacientes con cáncer

Abstract

Monitoring cancer patients using wearable devices that capture physiological signals is limited by access to raw data, which hinders the research and development of personalized analgesic treatments for each patient. This project involves developing a wearable system that can capture, transmit, and visualize raw photoplethysmography (PPG) signal data in real time. The prototype will be evaluated in terms of energy efficiency and data integrity. Capture and transmission tests were performed using a wearable prototype to record performance metrics, data integrity, and BLE connection stability. The collected data was processed and visualized using a testing platform, which allowed for a comprehensive evaluation of the device’s performance under controlled conditions. The tests demonstrated reliable real-time capture and transmission with minimal losses at distances of up to 20 meters with a direct line of sight and up to 7 meters with obstacles. Beyond these ranges, data integrity progressively declined. The mobile application and web platform consistently processed the data, enabling visualization and secure cloud storage. The prototype’s energy consumption remained low and stable, ensuring prolonged continuous operation.
