Telemonitoring of pregnant women at home — Biosignals acquisition and measurement

The Medical Cyber-Physical System (MCPS) for telemonitoring of pregnant women at home is introduced in the paper. The system comprises the Body Area Network (BAN) of advanced sensors that are interconnected on a body of a pregnant woman and the Personal Area Network (PAN) which is responsible for embedded processing of physical signals, smart alerts, and human-machine-interface. A reliable transmission channel assures communication with the Central Surveillance Centre located in a hospital. The paper focuses on the problem of biosignals acquisition and measurement that is solved using the smart selection of algorithms for abdominal signal analysis in the mobile instrumentation of PAN.
