MEMS Sensors to Assess Pain Sensitivity of Human

Abstract

This article considers the possibility of creation of microelectronic systems to assess human pain sensitivity. The focus is devoted to the description of the known methods of pain sensitivity evaluation, the structure of the system to assess human pain sensitivity, as well as the description of the concept of the individual parts of the system with the use of MEMS sensors. A substantiation is presented of the use of the selected field type to create the impact of pain, as well as increased ease of use when using MEMS sensors for removal of photoplethysmogram, which is used in the evaluation of human pain sensitivity. The model of the device for readout photoplethysmogram data with the use of MEMS sensors is presented.
