Abstract

A combined method to reduce motion artifact (MA) and power line interference (PLI) for wearable healthcare system is introduced. The proposed method has a block for the reduction of MA using measured electrode-skin impedance as a reference signal and a block for the cancellation of PLI using mixed-signal feedback to relax the dynamic range requirements of components in the forward path. The measured electrode-skin impedance is used as a reference signal of an adaptive filter for reducing MA. The 60Hz notch frequency which has the same amplitude as PLI´s is made digitally and uses feedback to the input stage to reduce PLI. This method was simulated using MATLAB/Simulink for high-level verification of the method´s validity.
