Telemedicine System Based on Radio Cell Phone Technology

Abstract

This paper presents a system for transmitting ECG signals using recent cell phone technologies. The aim of the project is to give physicians and clinical staff the possibility to monitor homecare and emergency patients using telemetry. The acquired signals can be viewed at both ends of the system, i.e., transmitter and receiver. Before transmitting the signals, the system acquires them by using an acquisition board installed in a PC computer. The software for displaying these signals at both ends of the system provides an easy-to-use interface. The cell phone used is able to transmit data information with short delay time and to operate in radio-like mode.
