An Overview on a Low Power Telemedicine System

The design of portable systems for remote monitoring of cardiac activity is one of the most important fields in telemedicine and telecare. Telemedicine system is an effective outcome of it and has become essential to the people especially living in rural, tribal as well as in the interior parts of the country and even in the world. Patient with acute heart complexity (might require regular checkups) are benefited with these systems. In this direction the lot of research has carried out to develop the wireless patient monitoring based on various communication protocols such as Bluetooth, Zig-Bee, mobile communication system, RFID WLAN systems, satellite system, GPS systems. In this paper an effort has been made to bring all such telemedicine systems together so that based on this review more effective low power telemedicine system can be developed which will serve the society better. __________________________________________________*****_________________________________________________
