The study of portable remote multi-life-parameter monitoring network

With the development of modern signal processing and computer network technology, it brings new challenges to remote health care structure. This paper discusses a prototype which realizes the functions of physiological signal collection and calculation, GPS global positioning, and data transmission through GPRS. The new type of portable multi-life-parameter physiologic monitoring terminal is based on embedded design method. It consists of physiological signal collection unit, GPS unit, data storage unit, data analysis unit, LCD (320*240) display unit and data communication unit. The physiological signal collection unit includes ECG, temperature, blood pressure and blood sugar part. The server system deals with physiological database, user information, interacting of physician-patient with audio and video, computer automatic diagnosis, wired or GPRS data transmission. We expect to solve the shortcoming of poor operability, large volume and high price of the traditional biological monitoring devices. Multi-life-parameter of the patients can be monitored remotely and wirelessly, with the advantages of good operability, strong scalability, small size, low cost, high reliability and real-time processing.
