Key result
A wireless sensor network-based ECG and body temperature measuring system was successfully designed and developed for continuous monitoring of vital signs in ubiquitous healthcare settings.
A wireless sensor network platform for continuous ECG and body temperature monitoring was successfully developed, offering potential for remote healthcare applications.
Prototype enables home ECG-temperature monitoring; leaves open clinical validation and outcome trials.
The wireless sensor network (WSN) based ECG and body temperature measuring system for ubiquitous health-care were designed and developed. The system was composed of a wireless sensor network node, base station and server computer for the continuous monitoring of ECG signals and body temperatures of patients at home or hospital. ECG signal and body temperature data, important vital signals which are commonly used in clinical and trauma care, were displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI). The data transfer from sensor nodes on patients' body to server computer was accomplished through a base-station connected to a server computer using Zigbee compatible IEEE802.15.4 standard wireless communication. Real-time as well as historical, ECG data of elderly persons or patients, can also be retrieved and played back to assist the diagnosis. The ubiquitous health care system presented in this study can effectively reduce social medical expenses, which will be increased greatly in the coming aging society.
