Modelling of photoplethysmography mobile telemedicine system

This paper presents the modelling of a photoplethysmography (PPG) telemedical system using mobile communication channels. The medical signals are generated using advanced photoplethysmography. The mobile telemedical communication system is studied using the IS-54 digital cellular standard, which is widely used in commercial cellular telephone systems. The mobile results show the successful transmission of the medical data over the tested mobile channels with bit error rates of less than 10/sup -7/ at the receiver.
