Real-Time Data Acquisition in Human Physiology: Real-Time Acquisition, Processing, and Interpretation—A MATLAB-Based Approach is a comprehensive guide that focuses on designing and developing a computer-based system capable of detecting and digitally processing human electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), and carotid pulse waveforms in real time. The indigenous system developed and described in this book offers a user-friendly interface and a straightforward hardware arrangement for bio-signal detection. Moreover, the computational capabilities of MATLAB are validated for tasks such as viewing, digital filtering, and feature extraction of acquired bio-signals.

This book showcases a practical approach to providing a relatively cost-effective solution for real-time monitoring, processing, and interpretation of human physiology data, which has the potential to benefit a larger population of patients. By leveraging the power of MATLAB, this book offers a streamlined and efficient means of analyzing and interpreting bio-signals, enabling healthcare professionals to make timely and accurate diagnoses and interventions.

The real-time data acquisition and processing capabilities of this system make it particularly valuable in clinical settings, where timely access to vital physiological information can be crucial in diagnosing and treating medical conditions. For instance, in cardiology, the ECG can provide valuable insights into heart rhythm and function, while EMG can detect muscle disorders and nerve damage. Similarly, in neurology, the carotid pulse waveform can be used to monitor blood flow and detect abnormalities in brain function.

Furthermore, the MATLAB-based approach employed in this book allows for easy customization and expansion to accommodate different types of bio-signals and applications. The flexibility of MATLAB makes it possible to adapt the system to meet the specific needs of researchers and healthcare professionals, ensuring that the most relevant and accurate data is obtained and analyzed.

In conclusion, Real-Time Data Acquisition in Human Physiology: Real-Time Acquisition, Processing, and Interpretation—A MATLAB-Based Approach is a valuable resource for researchers, healthcare professionals, and students interested in developing computer-based systems for real-time detection and processing of human bio-signals. By leveraging the power of MATLAB, this book provides a practical and cost-effective solution for monitoring, analyzing, and interpreting human physiology data, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
