Abstract
Content

The Wireless Patient Monitoring System deploys the Zigbee standard to create a Personal Area Network (a wireless network with a coverage area of around 10 m) that is capable of integrating into the same wireless network used by monitoring systems such as an electrocardiogram, pulse oxymeter, blood pressure sensor, and glucometer. The patient monitor also includes a gateway device for data encapsulation and transmission to the back-end systems via Ethernet, WiFi, and GSM/GPRS/UMTS connections. This gateway device also encompasses a Java applet for data presentation over an LCD touchscreen. For increased integration and interoperability features, the system also supports Bluetooth connectivity. The system supports up to 4 devices transmitting at the same time, and is powered with a rechargeable battery.
