INFORMATION PROCESSING OF BIOMEDICAL SENSOR SIGNATURES FOR ENSURING THE QUALITY OF LIFE

摘要

New intelligent and miniaturized sensors for physiological parameters, frequently increasing computer performance and an information exchange via wireless networks and Bluetooth modules are supporting remote patient monitoring concepts. Moreover, advanced signature analysis and adaptive decision algorithms make innovative diagnostic tools possible for physicians. These developments are useful for patients living at home during rehabilitation and for chronically ill or handicapped persons. The new systems are discussed on the basis of our experience in sleep laboratory remote patient monitoring. Advanced measurement concepts contribute to ensuring the quality of life.
