Technical Verification of Integrating Wearable Sensors into BSN-Based Telemedical Monitoring System

With recent advances in electronics, wireless communication and computer science it is possible to develop miniaturized pervasive health monitoring devices that are capable of monitoring physiological signals during daily life activities. The aim of the research is to implement and test health monitoring system to monitor and analyze humans physiological signals. System consists of body central unit with Blue tooth module and wearable sensors: ECG sensor, temperature sensor, skin humidity sensor and accelerometers placed on the human body or integrated with clothes and network gateway to forward data to remote medical server. The system includes specially designed transmission protocol and remote web-based graphical user interface for real time data analysis. Experimental results for a group of human who performed various activities (ex. working, running etc.) are compared to certified medical devices. The results are promising and indicate that developed wireless wearable monitoring system faces challenges of multi-sensor human health monitoring during performing daily activities and open new opportunities in developing novel healthcare services.
