An Embedded Healthcare System for Blood Glucose Monitoring in a Body Area Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a Java service platform and hardware design for a handheld healthcare system that enables remote health monitoring using CDMA public wireless networks. Specially, the system aims to monitor diabetic patients’ state. For this purpose, we design the blood glucose meters and Wireless Interface module. The communication between sensors and the PDA forms a BAN (Body Area Network). The aggregated information on biosignals is collected by the PDA and transferred to the remote medical center (RMC) through the CDMA public wireless networks. We design and develop a BAN, service protocol, and run the application software to demonstrate its effectiveness of remote monitoring in the mobile

Introduction Blood pressure (BP) is one of the important vital signs that need to be monitored for personal healthcare. Arterial blood pressure is estimated from pulse transit time (PTT). This study uses two pulse sensors to get PTT. The aim of this study was to construct an optical system and to monitor blood pressure continuously and without cuff in people with different ages. Materials and M...
