Abstract

We propose a new methodology for long-time biopotential recording based on MEMS multisensor integrated platform featuring a commercial electrostatic charge transfer sensor. That family of sensors was originally intended for presence tracking in automotive, so the existing setup has been engineered for the acquisition of electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, electrooculogram and electromyography, designing a dedicated front-end and writing a proper firmware for the specific application. Systematic tests on controls and nocturnal acquisitions from patients in domestic environment will be discussed in detail. The excellent results candidate this technology to provide a low power, unexplored solution to biopotentials acquisition. The technology breakthrough is in that it enables adding this type of functionality to existing MEMS boards at near-zero additional power consumption. For these reasons, they open to additional possibilities for wearable sensing and strengthen the role of MEMS technology in medical wearable applications for long time synchronous acquisition of a wide range of signals.
