ABSTRACT
Freediving relies on a diver's ability to hold his breath until resurfacing. Many fatal accidents in freediving are caused by a sudden blackout of the diver right before resurfacing. In this work, we propose a wearable prototype for monitoring oxygen saturation underwater and conceptualize an early warning system with regard to the diving depth. Our predictive algorithm estimates the latest point of return in order to emerge with a sufficient oxygen level to prevent a blackout and notifies the diver via an acoustic signal.

Pulse Arrival Time Based Cuff-Less and 24-H Wearable Blood Pressure Monitoring and its Diagnostic Value in Hypertension
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has become an essential tool in the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Current standard ABPM devices use an oscillometric cuff-based method which can cause physical discomfort to the patients with ...
A wearable system that knows who wears it
MobiSys '14: Proceedings of the 12th annual international conference on Mobile systems, applications, and servicesBody-area networks of pervasive wearable devices are increasingly used for health monitoring, personal assistance, entertainment, and home automation. In an ideal world, a user would simply wear their desired set of devices with no configuration ...
Wearable Respiration Sensor Platform Using Ultrasound Transducer
UbiComp '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM International Joint Conference and 2018 International Symposium on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Wearable ComputersIn this paper, a novel wearable respiration sensor using ultrasound transducer is proposed. Respiration is one of interesting physiological information which are affected by voluntary and in-voluntary motions. Hence, respiration reflects the ...
