FPGA-based interference elimination for health monitoring in dynamic environments

Since flexible wearable sensing devices are mostly used to acquire the human health information by fitting, the vibration generated by the wearer's movement, physiological state, environment, and other dynamic factors will interfere the accuracy of collected signals. In order to solve the signal interference problem in dynamic environments, a system is needed to eliminate the strong interfering signals in disturbing scenarios in order to acquire the target signal. In this paper, a FPGA-based system is designed to eliminate the signal interference, where a PFGA chipset is served as the core hardware part, an adaptive notch filter is used to process the sensing signals and the FPGA and the host computer are interacted in real time, thus various vibration noises suffered by the flexible sensing device could be eliminated when it is applied to health monitoring in dynamic environments.
