Abstract
The development of wireless patient monitoring system has been quite intensive in the past decade. Patients at a critical status can greatly benefit from technologies that continuously monitor their vital status. We have designed and developed a real-time patient monitoring system including biological sensors, integrated networking, electronic patient records, and web technology to allow remote monitoring of patient status. This system shall facilitate communication between medical professionals at local hospitals, and specialists available for consultation from distant clinics and hospitals to take the right decision with the patient status. Integrated Health Monitoring System (IHM) is a complete solution of acquiring, processing, monitoring and storing the vital signs of the patients starting from home until reaching the hospital. The IHM consists of five major components: intensive care unit patient monitor (BioMon), wireless patient monitor (WiMon), a mobile application (Healthpad), Central Monitoring System (CMS), and a cloud-based server.
