The Design of Remote Medical Monitoring System Based on Sensors and GPRS

As a new medical method, the remote medical monitoring system is being paid more and more attention to. This article proposes a kind of remote medical monitoring system which is based on the sensor and GPRS (general packet radio service, GPRS). The article first analyzes the necessity of the remote medical monitoring system, and then explains the advantages of the GPRS which is used in the remote medical monitoring system, and finally gives the architecture design of the remote medical monitoring system. The remote medical monitoring system is composed of two parts, which are mobile remote medical monitoring unit and the monitoring center. The user can carry the mobile unit along, while this mobile unit can real-timely monitor the physiological data from the user with sensors. When something abnormal happens, the intelligent control system automatically connects to the monitoring center. The monitoring center is composed of the monitoring station and the information management system. The information management system is connected with the monitoring center by a local area network, and its main function is to manage information such as the electronic map, the user´s medical record and so on.
