Wireless Monitoring of Patient’s Vital Signs

چکیده
Mobile computing and portable devices, for example, are changing the relationships between human and computers, and are introducing a new approach of communication based on context. According to Figueiredo (Figueiredo & Nakamura, 2003) this new approach of communication allows people to interact seamlessly with objects, computers, environments, etc. Such technological advances are a significant departure from the existing computational paradigm in which users need to interact explicitly with the systems in order to achieve the expected results.

متن کاملSelf-Powered Wireless Sensor Networks for Remote Patient Monitoring in Hospitals
Patient vital sign monitoring within hospitals requires the use of non-invasive sensors that are hardwired to bedside monitors. This set-up is cumbersome, forcing the patient to be confined to his hospital bed thereby not allowing him to move around freely within the hospital premises. This paper addresses the use of wireless sensor networks for monitoring patient vital sign data in a hospital ...
