Abstract :
A hospital-wide mobile medical monitoring system is described. Telemetry devices are attached to patients to acquire, store and process continuous data about their state of health. Medical staff may examine real-time graphical information and make comparisons with historical data. Parameters may be set to cause an automatic alert to portable devices held by appropriate staff if a patient requires urgent observation. The system uses the services provided by Internet and intranet to allow remote supervision and consultation. A hardware/software prototype has been constructed to demonstrate real-time data acquisition, wireless transmission/reception and connection to the World Wide Web. The real-time, supervisory and remote-teaching aspects of the software system are being designed and are in the process of implementation
