An mHealth Monitoring System for Telemedicine Based on WebSocket Wireless Communication

Abstract

The telemedicine system is a new medical monitoring model which uses sensor communication technology, computer information technology and modern medical technology. This paper, based on real-time web communication technology HTML5-WebSocket, describes the development of a scalable, real-time, multi-parameter, remote monitoring system. The system consists of sensors, mobile front control side, and a module-based remote monitoring platform. It has a variety of network functions, such as transmission of multiple physiological parameters, search, and export. In addition, the system provides real-time monitoring, data review, waveform check, and real-time doctor-patient communication. Since no additional software needs to be installed at the client, maintenance cost is reduced while the versatility is enhanced.
