Design of software for wireless central patient monitoring system

Abstract

Measuring and monitoring the bio-parameters of patient is one of effective method to assist doctor during diagnosis and treatment now. This paper presents a research result about using the patient monitor devices in the hospitals today. Since, we proposed and designed a model of a wireless central patient monitoring system for the hospitals in Vietnam. From the single patient monitoring devices, the devices are connected to a WiFi standard single-channel transmitter module. The received data will be transmitted to a multi-channel wireless receiver (Access-Point). At the central station, the multi-channel wireless receiver will be connected to a computer. The received data channels will be stored and displayed simultaneously on software. Here, doctors and nurses can monitor the status of all patients with their device connected to the system. Besides, the software also allows doctors to set alert thresholds for each patient. When measured parameters from a patient outside the allowed range, the system will automatically give warning to help doctor handle in time.
