Low cost RF based online patient monitoring using web and mobile applications

To provide higher life quality for people in developing countries through the use of web and embedded systems, healthcare information should be online and accessible from anywhere in the world and the system should be affordable to mass people. This research examines wireless sensor network with real-time remote identification and monitoring of regular and critical healthcare information using low cost RF based infrastructure for homes and community healthcare centers. The integrated platform is employed to build multi-physiological signal processing, data acquisition and remote monitoring. The proposed system enables remote observers to use medical care information through the use of web and mobile application platforms which increase the portability of monitoring system therefore reducing the overall hospitalization cost. A prototype system is developed to verify the functionalities of design and test runs yielded significant promise.
