Sualtında dalgıçlardan fizyolojik verilerin toplanması için akıllı telefon tabanlı geliştirme kiti tasarlanması

Sensors are fundamental to all health monitoring systems. As technology advances in fields such as nanotechnology and MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems), wearable sensors to be used in these systems are not bulky anymore. Since their quality increases, health monitoring systems are implemented in various scenarios. Underwater applications can be given as an example to these scenarios. When it comes to underwater electronic devices, one of the most frequently used equipment by divers is diving computer. This equipment provides conveniences to divers to protect them from decompression sickness which is one of the underwater threats. Basically, the purpose of the equipment is to calculate gas loads of tissues through mathematical models of tables; and to guide divers based on these calculations and to provide information for future diving activities. Another duty of diving computer is to keep log registry of diving activities of individual divers. As it is seen, diving computers vary based on basic duties as underwater equipment. They cannot be modified to collect physiological data from divers such as body temperature and muscle movement. In this work, a development board to collect physiological data from divers that can be introduced to the users is designed. Underwater Development Board for Physiological Data Collection is developed for the purpose of contributing scientific projects and Research and Development works. This board aims to bring together all hardware and software required to monitor underwater physiological attributes of divers. It is aimed to prepare a kit ready to develop together with its all accessories, manuals and sample codes. This study includes developed kit's design stages and its functions.
