USE OF TAPERED OPTICAL FIBER AS A HEART RHYTHM SENSOR (ARRHYTHMIA)
Keywords:
Tapered fiber optic, Optical sensor,, Cardiac arrhythmia, Biosensor, Medical optics, Heart detectionAbstract
Early detection of cardiac arrhythmias is crucial in preventing serious
cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart failure. Conventional
methods such as electrocardiography (ECG) and Holter monitoring have
limitations in terms of portability, sensitivity to noise, and dependence on
electrodes in direct skin contact. This study explores the potential of using tapered
fiber optics as a non-invasive optical sensor to detect cardiac physiological signals
related to arrhythmias. Tapered fibers have high sensitivity to refractive index
changes and microscopic vibrations, which can be utilized to detect cardiac
electromechanical activity in real time.
This study shows that tapered optical fibers have significant potential as
alternative sensors in more portable and high-precision cardiac monitoring
systems. Further development can be directed to wearable device applications and
integration with Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) systems for continuous and
remote patient monitoring.
