A Real-time remote ICU patient monitoring system using TCP protocol, power line protocol, GSM technology, web publishing and E-mail generation

摘要

The proposed system aims at non-invasively measure vital parameters of the ICU patient and make available the real-time data to the physician using the above mentioned protocols. The system is designed in such a way that if due to non-availability of resources if one of the data transfer protocols fails the parameters (ECG, Heart rate, blood Pressure and body temperature) are sent through the next protocol and hence the data reaches the physician and the patient is serviced accordingly The sole purpose of the system is to ease the monitoring system and to ensure proper treatment of the patient in the right time. Another area where the system focuses is that in rural areas very few resources are available which includes non-availability of internet, so real-time data is transferred using power lines from one room to other. Also using GSM technology data can be sent to phone using text message if doctor is not present in the hospital premises.
