Chapter 1: About BioRadio 150
General Device Description:
BioRadio 150 (Figure 1) is a wireless data acquisition system capable of recording
multiple physiological signals from users in real time. Using sophisticated wireless and
miniaturization technologies, the BioRadio 150 provides physiological data acquisition
that is untethered thus allowing the users to move freely while monitoring their own
physiological signals on the PC. The BioRadio 150 system can be standalone or may
accompany a number of application programs that are developed by CleveMed for
specific research and education applications (if purchased with the BioRadio 150, details
of the application software will be described separately).

BioRadio 150 consists of two hardware components (User Unit and Computer Unit) and
a software component (BioRadio Capture Lite). The User Unit is carried by the person
(on the belt) and is responsible for acquiring the physiological signals from sensors
attached on the body. The User Unit processes the physiological signals and wirelessly
transmits it to the Computer Unit using CleveMed’s proprietary telemetry protocol. The
Computer Unit receives the data from the User Unit and forwards it to a PC. The
BioRadio Capture Lite software displays and stores the data on the PC.
User Unit (Figure 2):
The User Unit has a total of 12 acquisition channels.
It acquires data from up to 11 external physiological sensors (placed on the User’s body)
and from one internal sensor that measures motion or position of the User Unit itself.
The User Unit incorporates state-of-the-art wireless technology in the Industrial Scientific
Medical 902 – 926 MHz (ISM) band. The User Unit is battery powered (2 AA) that lasts
for at least 12 hours continuous use. The User Unit is turned on / off with a toggle switch
located on the side of the enclosure.
11 external sensors:
The eleven external sensors can be placed on various locations on
the body to sense various types of physiological signals. The eleven external sensors can
be further divided into four categories of sensors:
Category 1: 8 biopotential signals such as Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electromyogram
(EMG) and Electrocardiogram (ECG). Figure 1 illustrates an example where 4
bioptential signals are connected to the User Unit: 2 EMG (arms), 1 ECG (chest), 1 EEG
(head).
Category 2: 1 oxygen saturation sensor (SpO2).
Category 3: 1 airflow sensor (differential).
Category 4: 1 auxiliary DC input.
The first category of sensors, biopotential sensors, are off-the-shelf electrodes such as
snap-type electrodes or gold cup electrodes that attach to the body on one end and plug
directly into the User Unit on the other end (Figure 1). The second category, oxygen
saturation sensor, is specific to the BioRadio 150 system and wraps on the User’s index.
The airflow sensor uses off-the-shelf nasal cannula that can monitor the User’s breathing.
The last category of external sensors, Auxiliary DC, can be used to hookup to other
monitors such as blood pressure monitors capable of producing an analog output voltage
(0-2 V).
1 Internal Sensor:
The internal position sensor can be used to sense the position or
movement of the User Unit; therefore the internal sensor can be used to detect the
movement of the USER provided the User wears the User Unit (as shown in Figure 1).

Computer Unit (Figure 3):
The Computer Unit is a smaller device that plugs
into the USB port of any PC. As mentioned earlier, the Computer Unit is responsible for
receiving the data from the User Unit, demodulates it and sends it to the PC. Similar to
the User Unit, the Computer Unit contains a radio transceiver that operates in the 900
MHz ISM band. The Computer unit is powered from the PC and thus has no external
power supply. Also, the Computer Unit has no On/OFF switch or any other user
accessible parts. Once plugged into the PC, the Computer Unit is automatically detected
by the PC and awaits for data from the User Unit.

BioRadio Capture Lite:
BioRadio Capture Lite is a basic data acquisition and display software offered with
BioRadio 150 (Figure 4). The program has a sub-menu on the right-hand side of the
screen that provides information about the device and the data as well as allows the user
to select basic functionality. Under the Control sub-menu (Figure 4) the software allows
the user to Start and Stop acquisition, change display update rate, and to Save the data.
The Device sub-menu displays the name of the device that is connected to the PC
(BioRadio 150) and the COM port name used for the connection. Additionally, the
Device sub-menu allows the user to change the sampling rate (100 Hz to 960 Hz per
channel) and change the transmission frequency from channels 1 through 85. The Signal
sub-menu provides feedback to the User regarding the fidelity of the acquired signal
(good packets is a measure of error free signal received from the User Unit, Bad packets
is a measure of received but corrupted packets, Dropped packets is a measure of data lost
due to interference. As mentioned earlier, specific application software maybe
purchased.
