13th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering

Part of the book series: IFMBE Proceedings ((IFMBE,volume 23))

Abstract

The point of this study is on the development of wireless patient monitoring system that can monitor heart rates in real time environments. The entire system consists of a portable photoplethysmography device, a healthcare server and a Smartphone for healthcare information reports. The portable device collects heart rate information from the patients and sends the data to home healthcare server. This device is designed to be easily worn and have low power consumption. The role of the healthcare server is to analyze the collected biomedical signals. The result of the analysis is displayed on the Smartphone through the CDMA networks. The application program on Smartphone gives the healthcare information to patients and doctors. This system would be useful for patients who have chronic heart disease.
