An approach to monitoring of physiological signals using Bluetooth

This paper presents an approach to monitoring of basic physiological signals using Bluetooth technology. As such, the system is convenient for use in continuous monitoring of patient health at homes, working areas and hospitals. The suggested architecture has been described at the levels of multi-point Bluetooth client, hospital-office-home Bluetooth server, and their integration in global telemedicine network. The functional description of system components and the preliminary testing results of the realized prototype are also given. The planned future work on this issue is presented as well.
