Eye on Patient Care: Continuous Health Monitoring: Design and Implementation of a Wireless Platform for Healthcare Applications

摘要

Wireless technologies are currently among the most prominent candidates for use by the medical and care-giving community as a part of the development of telemedicine systems [1]?[9]. The exponential progress of these technologies is expected to open a multitude of opportunities and choices for enhanced patient safety, better data collection, increased convenience for patients, and reduced costs for health systems [5]?[8]. Thanks to the cost effectiveness and clinical acceptability of wireless telecommunication technology, patient diagnosis and treatment have been significantly improved. Technology for remote sensing of patients' activity is also being developed.
