Abstract:
Continuous monitoring of patients is becoming increasingly important with the current progress of diagnosis and medical treatment techniques. When the available facilities and healthcare cost are considered, remote patient [monitoring has the potential to relieve many inconveniences. To address this issue, a system has been developed, which has the ability to remotely view E C G , body temperature and stethoscope records of a patient. A hardware unit [captures the signals bearing the above information, processes them appropriately and transfers to a mobile phone via Bluetooth. A mobile acquires this medical information and forwards them to a database via a mobile network. The patient or doctor can access the database using a web application which is developed as part of the system.
