A portable device for physiological measurements in biomedical engineering education

The physiological data acquisition system described in this paper is developed for the purposes of student laboratory exercises in biomedical engineering program. The system has the functionality of electrocardiography and electromyography monitoring and can be used as a photoplethysmograph. Alongside the portability, other significant capabilities of the system are concerned with the resources that allow the system’s complete functionality without the cable connections to other devices. Besides, the system's open architecture enables various types of expanding and modifications, which is suitable for student project realizations.
