FreePulse Patient Monitor

This is the code base for FreePulse, a low cost patient monitor designed for developing world hospitals and resource-limited settings. Inspired by my experiences working in rural hospitals in Rwanda and Nepal, FreePulse is designed with the intention of providing hospital-grade diagnostic information in a simple to use, durable package to doctors at an affordable price. A brief overview of the project is available on the project website, and a more detailed post about the motivation and history of the project is on the development blog.

Current Goals and Notes

  • Determine better SpO2 calibration timing (currently only calibrate after reset)

  • Fix pulse oximeter readings (currently unstable). Develop a LUT or fitting strategy?

  • Fix blood pressure inconsistencies. Look at patient data to determine where the failures lie.

  • Add "recurring measurement" timer to NIBP module (i.e. "take a blood pressure measurement every five minutes" during surgery)
