Abstract:
The paper presents a wireless monitoring system for patients who need
continuous monitoring using the WBAN concept. This wireless monitoring system
contains a sensor network and a remote monitoring application. It is used to collect
the vital information of the patients, such as temperature, pulse rate, ECG
(electrocardiogram), oxygen saturation and blood pressure. Moreover, the system
also provides management of the information collected from the sensors and alert
generated for the administration when the condition of the patient becomes severe.
The design and implementation of the above WBAN system are discussed in this
paper. The accuracy of measurements with Wi-Mon was simultaneously validated
with an existing system (Lifescope Vismo PVM-2703) in the Clinical Management
and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) Unit of Negombo Base Hospital.
