Wireless wearable remote physiological signals monitoring system

Wearable Physiological Monitoring Systems (WPMS) integrates a number of sensors into fabric of the wearer for remotely monitoring the health status. The paper discusses a Wireless wearable remote physiological signal monitoring system to acquire and monitor physiological parameters like Electrocardiogram (ECG) acquired from a dry textile electrode, Photoplethysmogram (PPG), body temperature, Pulse Transmit Time (PTT) and Heart Rate. The acquired physiological signals are transmitted wireless using ZigBee or a Bluetooth to a remote monitoring station. In the remote monitoring station the data is processed and physiological parameters are extracted and displayed continuously. From the acquired data the overall health status of wearer is monitored. The paper discusses the first prototype of the wearable physiological monitoring system developed and the initial testing results.
