A New Wireless-Type Physiological Signal Measuring System Using a PDA and the Bluetooth Technology

Abstract

A light and portable-type wireless physiological Concering the application of wireless transmissions in the signal retrieving system has always been a medical personnel's dream. To fulfill this dream, this paper investigates a feasible medical care, Pavlopoulos, et al. [1] installed GSM method to create a wireless-type physiological signal measuring communication systems inside ambulances to transmit vital system using a PDA and the bluetooth technology. The proposed physiological signals, such as electrocardiograms, heartbeats, system will reduce the service costs and raise the service efficiency blood pressures, and so on, to furnish prior preparations for for current medical care systems. The waveforms and data of hospitals. Yonghang Zang, et al. [2] developed a home-based physiological signals, such as electrocardiograms (ECGs), . . ' 1-4244-0726-5/06/$20.OO '2006 IEEE

Performance Evaluation of Heart Sound Cancellation in FPGA Hardware Implementation for Electronic Stethoscope

“…In the literature, electronic stethoscope had been implemented by using general-purpose microcontrollers (MCUs) [ 2 – 5 , 9 ], DPS chips [ 1 , 7 , 8 ], or even ASIC chips [ 6 ]. We chose to build the proposed prototype of ALE circuit using FPGAs instead.…”

“…However, albeit basic, stethoscope is still essential for the diagnoses of many diseases. In fact, the electronic stethoscope is one medical instrument studied recently by many groups of researchers [ 1 – 9 ]. Numerous new features were studied, and some of them are made commercially available [ 10 , 11 ].…”

Wearable Wireless Health Monitoring: Current Developments, Challenges, and Future Trends

“…A portable phonocardiography (PCG), electrocardiography, and body temperature measurement system prototype is described in [37]. It is controlled by a personal digital assistant (PDA) with an external memory unit and consists of a capacitor-type microphone inserted on a stethoscope for PCG detection, a three-lead ECG, a temperature sensor, a measuring board including a central processing unit (CPU), a Bluetooth transceiver, and an analog and digital (A/D) module.…”

Wearable, multimodal, vitals acquisition unit for intelligent field triage

“…As part of a review of body‐worn health monitoring systems, including the survey of Pantelopoulos and Bourbakis [7, 9–13], 24 commercial and academic systems were analysed. This review indicated that no system for use in an emergency setting involved highly synchronised multi‐channel auscultation.…”
