The development of a nonintrusive home-based physiologic signal measurement system.

摘要

This paper describes the development of a nonintrusive health-monitoring house system that has been developed for monitoring patients' health status. The system functions unobtrusively and leaves patients free to conduct daily activities. Installed sensors and devices in the house monitor biosignals such as bedside electrocardiogram (ECG), snoring, weight, and movement pattern. The network in the house was constructed using asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) and Bluetooth technologies and it is capable of transmitting monitored signals to the remote hospital server through the home server. The system is found to be effective in monitoring patients' daily activity and health status in a nonconstraining manner.
