Technical verification of applying wearable physiological sensors in ubiquitous health monitoring

The aim of the research is to design, implement and verify health monitoring system to monitor and analyze human physiological signals. System incorporates central processing unit with Bluetooth module, dedicated ECG sensor, temperature sensor and movement sensors placed on the human body or integrated with clothes and network gateway to forward acquired data to remote medical server. The main advantage of the system is the ability to acquire, process and wirelessly transmit physiological data during daily activities. Moreover, system includes dedicated transmission protocol and remote web-based graphical user interface for real time data analysis. Experimental results for a group of human who performed various activities (ex. working, running etc.) show maximum 5% absolute error compared to certified medical devices. The results are promising and indicate that developed wireless wearable monitoring system faces challenges of multi-sensor human health monitoring during performing daily activities and open new opportunities in treating and evaluating the treatment of number of patients who suffer from chronic diseases including cardiac disorders, asthma or diabetes.
