Abstract :
We present a wrist worn medical monitoring computer designed to free high risk patient from the constraints of stationary monitoring equipment. The system combines complex medical monitoring, data analysis and communication capabilities in a truly wearable watch-like form. The paper summarizes the functionality, architecture and implementation of the system.
