Abstract
Recent advances in sensors, low-power integrated circuits, and wireless communications have enabled the design of low cost, miniature, lightweight, and intelligent physiological sensor nodes. These nodes, capable of sensing, processing, and communicating one or more vital signs, can be seamlessly integrated into wireless personal or body sensor networks (WPSNs or WBSNs) for health monitoring. This paper describes and proposes the implementation of Heart rate sensor node for embedded telemedicine system. The heart rate sensor node in embedded telemedicine system that has been designed for healthcare applications will be presented. A short description of key enabling technologies (i.e. sensor technology, communication technology, and system analysis and design) that have allowed researchers to implement telemedicine systems is followed by a detailed description of major areas of application of wearable sensors technology. Applications described in this paper include those that focus on health and wellness, safety, home rehabilitation, assessment of treatment efficacy, and early detection of disorders.
Highlights
This paper is organized by discussing sensor technology in telemedicine applications, discussing the communication technologies which used for telemedicine and compare between them upon the used application, discussing the physiological parameters, we describe the design of heart rate sensor node according to the physiological signs
Conclusions and future work This paper demonstrates the use of Heart rate sensor as a key infrastructure enabling unobtrusive, continual, ambulatory health monitoring
This new technology has potential to offer a wide range of benefits to patients, medical personnel, and society through continuous monitoring in the ambulatory setting, early detection of abnormal conditions, supervised rehabilitation, and potential knowledge discovery through data mining of all gathered information
Summary
This paper is organized by discussing sensor technology in telemedicine applications, discussing the communication technologies which used for telemedicine and compare between them upon the used application, discussing the physiological parameters, we describe the design of heart rate sensor node according to the physiological signs. Wireless monitoring of physiological signals of large number of patients is one of the current needs in order to deploy a complete wireless sensor network in healthcare system. Such an application presents some challenges in software and hardware designs. “Wearable” sensors are miniature electronic devices worn on the body, often integrated with or designed to replace existing medical accessories This market segment is booming, enabled by Internet of Things technology. Communication technology The wireless system in WBSN uses medical bands to obtain physiological data from sensor nodes. Existing monitoring systems use the short-range wireless systems such as ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) (Chan, Poon, Wong, & Zhang, 2007; Gao, Greenspan, Welsh, Juang, & Alm, 2005; Otto, Jovanov, & Milenkovic, 2006), WLANs
