A real-time wireless physiological monitoring system was designed and implemented to monitor body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate of aged patients in nursing centers.
The implementation of a real-time wireless physiological monitoring system can facilitate continuous monitoring of aged patients in nursing centers while potentially reducing staff workload.
This paper demonstrates the design and implementation of a real-time wireless physiological monitoring system for nursing centers, whose function is to monitor online the physiological status of aged patients via wireless communication channel and wired local area network. The collected data, such as body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate, can then be stored in the computer of a network management center to facilitate the medical staff in a nursing center to monitor in real time or analyze in batch mode the physiological changes of the patients under observation. Our proposed system is bidirectional, has low power consumption, is cost effective, is modular designed, has the capability of operating independently, and can be used to improve the service quality and reduce the workload of the staff in a nursing center.
Lin et al. (Sun,) conducted a other in Aged patients in nursing centers. Real-time wireless physiological monitoring system (RTWPMS) was evaluated. A real-time wireless physiological monitoring system was designed and implemented to monitor body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate of aged patients in nursing centers.
