Abstract

The rapid development of information technologies and mobile communication has tempted researchers to explore wireless communication based tele medicine applications. The wireless technologies such as GSM, GPRS, UMTS and 3G opens up many prospects for radical changes in tele-health delivery at home and community. This paper presents our work in developing a GPRS based mobile tele homecare system, in particular, our development of a wireless multichannel physiological data monitor for telemedicine applications.
