Sistema prototipo de telemonitoreo remoto de signos vitales como la frecuencia cardíaca, usando tecnologías inalámbricas de comunicación disponibles en los teléfonos celulares.

摘要

In recent years, information technology, IT, has evolved rapidly, becoming the support for the automating of many areas. One of these areas with greater challenges for full automation is telemedicine. Especially, in the provision of remote health services remotely, these systems are sensitive, critical, and they allow personal control to patients with chronic illnesses or elderly. Also, remote health care systems decongest health centers, mainly in developing countries like ours. In this context, having a Remote Telemonitoring System of Vital Signs would be useful, as a first step towards the automation of health services. Thus, the development and evaluation of a prototype for ECG Telemonitoring from the perspective of Systems Engineering is the main purpose of this thesis. Throughout, the thesis presents the major concepts and theories for the development of such systems and shows the design, the operation of the prototype, and the testing during development and evaluation. Finally, the most important conclusions are highlighted and the main future works are discussed..
