Abstract :
Many physiological parameters of patients, such as ECG, body temperature, respiration, blood pressure, and etc., are important indices of the patients´ recovery extent. The aim of this study is to establish a data collection system, which is independent and integrated, for physiological parameters. A patient server system is built based on a MCS-8051 single-chip, the same as a main frame. To monitor the patients´ recovery extent, four independent channels are connected respectively to four physiological parameter sensors. The medical personnel can get the collected data by connecting a PC with the patient-end server system through a network, and analyze the data with LabVIEW-based software immediately
