Internet of Things (IoT) applications based on the single-board computer Raspberry Pi depend on reliable and sufficiently powerful energy systems to allow system diversity, flexibility, and available computing power. On this account, we developed an all-in-one module to simplify both the autonomous and network-wired power supply of Raspberry Pi-based systems. The module generates a stable voltage of 5.1 VDC with an available maximum current of 3 A to power a single Raspberry Pi model 3B+ or 4 and furthermore provides an additional power source of 3 VDC–12 VDC at a maximum of 3 A for use by arbitrary peripherals. To accommodate different use cases, the system has various energy supply options such as a 4S lithium polymer (LiPo) battery for autonomous operation, including a battery management and charging solution, as well as wire-based options, such as USB-C with USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) or Power over Ethernet (PoE+) via an additional module.
The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in treating wound healing disorders is well established. The obvious explanation is the presence of elevated oxygen tissue tensions during the high-pressure oxygen exposure. This explanation omits that the effective agent, elevated oxygen tension, is only present for 6.25% of the time. To investigate possible prevailing vascular changes caused by HBOT, the presented device monitors the vascular response during therapy by Pulse-Transit-Time analysis. The device allows synchronous 1 kHz ECG and PPG measurements. The data are stored in a 1 GBit flash drive and retrieved post-therapy. Normoxic measurements on the authors with and without nicotine validate the device’s functionality. Measurements during HBO therapy have been successfully performed.
