PROGRESS 6 : OBJECTIVE & BENEFIT/CONTRIBUTIONS


           OBJECTIVE


              The main objective of this project is to measure the temperature body by using graphical
               user interfacing (GUI) in Labview. Besides that, there have other objectives 
               which are related each other as shown as below:

1.      To detect pulsatile blood volume changes in the micro vascular bed of tissue from human body.
2.      To interface the PPG sensor to the computer using Labview.
3.      To save the acquire data for further processing and future reference.

BENEFIT/CONTRIBUTIONS
Benefit/contribution for using LabVIEW:
1.      Compiled code speed and ability to create distributable EXEs and DLLs.
2.      Powerful, flexible, and scalable design (open, connects to external libraries and third-party tools)  
3.      Easy to learn, use, maintain, and upgrade (intuitive graphical programming, using graphical constructs)
4.      One tool for design, prototyping and deployment
5.      Multidisciplinary use (same easy graphical programming language for different applications and domain experts in different disciplines in science and engineering)
6.      Tight software-hardware integration (supports wide variety of data acquisition and embedded control devices)
7.      Multicore-ready design (intrinsic parallelism) and support for different hardware acceleration technologies (DSPs, FPGAs, and GPUs as coprocessors)
8.      Multiplatform (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, RTOSs)

Benefit/contribution of using photoplethsmography:
1.      The only method to measure absolute changes in blood volume accurately in the extremities is by using chamber-plethysmography.
2.      Recently PPG is widely used in the medical equipment for patient monitoring and in laboratories for research and physiological studies.
3.      Small, reliable, low-cost and simple-to-use noninvasive (cardiovascular) assessment techniques.
4.      Advances in opto-electronics and clinical instrumentation.
