Gsm Based Remote Patient Monitoring System

The typical daily cost for single in patients in hospitals was over $1,700 in 2013, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation [10]. Remote monitoring products such as the BodyGuardian provide the healthcare advantages such as the option to move patients to their home and retain monitoring of their status by doctors and nurses. A paper [11] proposes an original, IoT-aware, smart architecture for automatic monitoring and tracking of patients, personnel, and biomedical devices within medical

In today's growing society, informatics plays a significant role in healthcare that allows for the evolving role of Telemedicine. This type of technological innovation has been created to provide health services to a distant population without having to visit the healthcare facility.

There are at least two types of telemedicine described by the literature. These include that in which medical data is acquired and later transmitted without the need for both parties to be present at the same time, “Store-and-Forward” (i.e. electronic medical records, email), and “Interactive” where real-time interaction occurs between the health care provider and the patient. The American Medical Association has also described remote monitoring through devices as yet a third category of telemedicine category.

Most of the literature has focused on remote patient monitoring. This is becoming vital in healthcare quality in recent years because of the benefits that it brings. Preuveneers and Berbers (2008, p.177) highlight that a context-awareness application based on the native mobile frameworks can offer support to individuals who suffer diabetes to make better choices or to manage their health independently. As a result, these advantages may lead to a more pleasant life for patients. The positive

The patients have the capability to do video conferencing via their phones for remote consultations with their doctors. A remote monitoring systems is permitting patients to take a very active method in prevention care. Nowadays, in a patient’s hospital room , technology has various devices as (E.K.G. Machines, ventilators, fetal heart monitors, oxygen sensors, blood pressure sensors, etc.) this devices are connected to the hospital 's server , where it can in turn records and transmits the data to a smart phone or tablet used by its staff to make sure to have a best care possible.

Along with portable machines, hospitals and doctors’ offices are now introducing mobile phones, tablets, and laptops into the system. These are helpful because doctors, nurses, and patients can bring up their results at any time and any location, granted there is a wireless connection. Mobile devices are great in an emergency setting because it is something that is in someone’s hands

The doctor can, therefore, attend to each patient based analyzed information from modern devices (Kudyda, 2016). Additionally, the technology reduces cost and the congestion in hospitals.

[5] describes a framework based on Body Area Network for real time tracking and health monitoring of pilgrims. The mobile sensor unit carried by the pilgrim has a GPS receiver, body sensor and an IEEE 802.16.4/ ZigBee radio for communicating with network of fixed units. The fixed unit sends query to the mobile unit in order to get location and UID of the pilgrim. The authority at the control room can get the location and vital heath status of any person in the crowd being monitored. Besides this, the central server has data stored like medical history and the contact numbers of the relatives of the pilgrims.

Health informatics and telemedicine are not new in the world of health profession. It has long been playing a major role in the delivery of health care to patients and consumers especially in rural and remote areas. Health Informatics is the appropriate and innovative application of the concepts and technologies of the information age to improve health care and health. (Wang, Turner 2011). Telemedicine can widely be defined as a health care service delivered through telecommunications network. The idea of using telecommunication for patient care is probably as obsolete as the telephone. However, it includes the transmission of still images, video, and other forms of medical data (Pradhan 2011). It was further expounded by Imhof in their ESCISM statement (2014), it is the development and assessment of methods and systems for the acquisition, processing and interpretation of patient data with the help of knowledge from scientific research.. Moreover, it is not only the application of computer technology to problems in healthcare but covers all aspects of the generation, handling, communication, storage, retrieval, management, analysis, discovery and synthesis of data, information and knowledge in the entire scope of healthcare. Advances in Health informatics and

The company has created a partnership with the Visiting Nurses Association - the largest home care agency in the United States - giving AMD access to 24,000 patients and 400,000 home visits annually. AMD’s medical monitoring product, CareCompanion, features event reminders, medication prompts, and medical measurements via the user’s monitoring equipment. Test results can be sent via internet to a caregiver. CareCompanion is currently only available in the U.S. The retail price is $125/month in addition to the cost of peripheral monitoring

A field programmable gate array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device that can be designed by the designer or the customer after manufacturing, hence it is known as “field programmable”. Field Programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are truly innovatory devices that combine the benefits of both hardware and software. FPGAs are programmed with the logic circuit diagram or the source code in Hardware Description Language (HDL) to determine how the chip will work. They may be used to perform any logical function that an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) might perform but the capacity to update the functionality after shipping provides advantages for many applications. FPGAs contain programmable logic components also called “logic blocks”, and a hierarchy of reconfigurable interconnects that permit the blocks to be “wired together” like a 1 chip programmable breadboard. Logic blocks can be designed to implement complex combinational functions or simply logic gates like AND and OR. In most FPGAs, the logic block also consists of memory elements, which can be simple flip flops or complete blocks of memory. They perform circuits just like hardware performing huge area, power and performance advantages over software, still can be programmed again economically

There are numerous advantages accomplished with Medical Sensor Networks. To commence with, remote monitoring potential is the foremost advantage of MSN. With remote monitoring, the recognition of urgent situations for menace patients will become simple and the people with distinct degrees of processes and physical immobility will be facilitated to have a more sovereign and trouble-free life. The small kids and offspring will also be concerned for in a more protected way while their blood relations are away. The individual care givers reliability will be reduced.

In hospitals, efficient communication can mean the difference between life and death. This is one of the reasons why hospitals need to have a powerful phone solution to promote proper communication and to deliver clear and accurate information. By harnessing the power of a VoIP phone system, hospitals can improve medical practice workflow and enhance productivity to better serve patients.

The University of Twente and partners have been developing mobile health systems based on Body Area Networks (WBANs) since 2001. A number of WBANs and a BAN service platform targeted at the healthcare domain were developed during the course of several European and Dutch projects. We define a health BAN as a network of communicating devices (sensors, actuators, multimedia devices etc.). A BAN for health monitoring incorporates one or more sensors capturing bio-signals, which are transmitted to a remote healthcare location for viewing by health professionals.
