Abstract :
In the paper a mobile instrument for non-invasive homeostasis monitoring with abnormalities automatic notification is presented. The tool is designed for physiological research and clinical practice. A small size, portable measuring system based on a personal digital assistant (PDA) with embedded software component was designed to provide information related with vital bio-signals that characterize the human homeostasis. Using a set of sensors, conditioning blocks, a compact flash acquisition board plug-in PDA and Wi-Fi communication module the system provides information concerning the clinical state to experts through a Health Wireless Network. Thus, the instrument is useful for the patients that need continuous homeostasis monitoring
