Remote monitoring system of ECG and temperature signals using Bluetooth

This paper presents a remote monitoring system for electrocardiographic and temperature signals. The system consists of a hardware module for acquisition, a Bluetooth transmission module and a displaying module (PC or mobile device). Information is sent via IP (GPRS or Wi-Fi) to a database server containing clinical data, which can be accessed through a web application. The system was assessed by testing different patients with the support of a medical doctor, obtaining a positive performance.
