Patient vital signs monitoring via android application

This paper presents a system that is able to monitor the patient vital signs (Heart Rate, SPO₂, NIBP, ECG, temperature and respiration rate) and send them continuously to the doctor´s android phone device. The system enables multiple patients to be connected to the same doctor. Within the system, the health care professional may activate/deactivate any of the vital signs sensors. He can also set a prescription for the patient, schedule a meeting,... When bad activities are received, a message is directly sent to the doctor and to the patient relatives in order to alert them. Note that the Bluetooth connection is used to send/receive data between the patient platform and its android system. The tested results showed an almost error free system with an accuracy above 95% and a few milliseconds delay between the vital signs reading and their upload over the server.
