Patient vital signs monitoring via android application

This paper presents a system that is able to monitor the patient vital signs (Heart Rate, SPO

, NIBP, ECG, temperature and respiration rate) and send them continuously to the doctor's android phone device. The system enables multiple patients to be connected to the same doctor. Within the system, the health care professional may activate/deactivate any of the vital signs sensors. He can also set a prescription for the patient, schedule a meeting,… When bad activities are received, a message is directly sent to the doctor and to the patient relatives in order to alert them. Note that the Bluetooth connection is used to send/receive data between the patient platform and its android system. The tested results showed an almost error free system with an accuracy above 95% and a few milliseconds delay between the vital signs reading and their upload over the server.
