Technology has advanced the medical practice tremendously over the past few decades. Technology improves many lives and eases patient suffering. Immediate aspects, such as patient care and medical trauma as well as indirect aspects, like patient monitoring and diagnostics have been aided by technical breakthroughs. Focus on patient monitoring to help prevent future problems is growing in medical practice. Portability and patient interactivity has become an important issue in medicine. A portable device is proposed to help monitor and provide feedback for skin temperature, skin resistance and motion in patients with possible Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The BioFeedback Data Logger is a multiple input biological data logger designed to be portable enough to accommodate adolescence to adult patients. The application interface is simple to use and aids the use of biofeedback during clinical patient research trials. An LED display is used for relaying data threshold information back to the patient during the experimental process. A low power consumption allows for use with a lithium battery power source.
