Abstract
In the Internet of Things era, medical devices shall be miniaturized and connectable to the global network for exchanging patient data. In this work, the miniaturization of a device for wireless intraoral forces monitoring is presented. Strain gauges are used as force sensors detecting tongue and lips activities. Signal elaboration has been demanded to an STM32NUCLEO-F401RE board while wireless data transmission using Bluetooth® Low Energy standard protocol is obtained by means of a XNUCLEO-IDB04A1 board. The circuit has been further miniaturized using a SoC based on Nordic nRF51422 that features an ANT and Bluetooth® low energy transmission and an ARM Cortex-M0 core. The final device shows a reduced dimension and the ability to transmit data wirelessly, without the use of external cables normally used in state-of-the-art intraoral monitoring devices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
