چکیده
Health care systems are struggling to meet the requirements of the elderly population. These systems need to be more advanced with the advent of new technologies. This paper aims at providing immediate care to the serious patients in case of the emergency. The proposed system measures and monitors heart rate and pulse rate of the patient from a distance, that is, wirelessly. Wireless technologies such as WiFi, WLAN, Bluetooth and Zigbee provide options for design of proposed system. The concept of biotelemetry that permits the transfer of information from an inaccessible source to a monitoring station is utilized. The proposed system is designed using hardware software co-design technique, taking use of wideband FM transmitter and receiver as hardware and Visual Basic programming model as software counterpart. Such a system reduces health care costs and improves quality of life of the patients in addition also provides risk coverage.

Background: The basic requirements for monitoring anesthetized patients during surgery are assessing cardiac and respiratory function. Esophageal stethoscopes have been developed for this purpose, but these devices may not provide clear heart and lung sound due to existence of various noises in operating rooms. In addition, the stethoscope is not applicable for continues monitoring, and it is u...
