The use of wearable devices for the monitoring of biological potentials is an ever-growing area of research. Wearable devices for the monitoring of vital signs such as heart-rate, respiratory rate, cardiac output and blood oxygenation are necessary in determining the overall health of a patient and allowing earlier detection of adverse events such as heart attacks and strokes and earlier diagnosis of disease. This thesis describes a bio-potential acquisition embedded system designed with an innovative analog front-end, showing the performance in EMG and ECG applications and the comparison between different noise reduction algorithms. We demonstrate that the proposed system is able to acquire bio-potentials with a signal quality equivalent to state of the art bench-top biomedical devices and can be therefore used for monitoring purpose, with the advantages of a low-cost low-power wearable device.
