  • Abstract
    This paper presents the performances of a pletysmographic sensor used to measure pulse, integrated in a ZigBee wireless network. The sensor, based on a LED and a photo-transistor and the conditioning circuit and its parameters are presented. The integration in a ZigBee network using a development kit (PICDEM Z) concludes the paper.
