The main aim of the project is to develop an integrated circuit for the time-resolved diffuse optics which can be used in an oxygen saturation measurement of the muscle and measuring the blood pulse wave velocity. A CMOS technology makes it possible to integrate both laser diode drivers and single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays with time-interval measurement units into the single chip in which case a small-sized wearable time-resolved optical transceiver can be fabricated for medical, healthcare and sport applications. The developed time-resolved optical transceiver enables a non-invasive measurement of the condition of vascular system of human in daily life which is not possible in current wearable devices. In addition, the proposed technology makes it possible to measure the oxygen saturation of the muscle during exercise.
