Tele-medicine Systems - Project
This project is used in hospitals, because the patients in
the ICU need a constant monitoring of their body, Respiratory Temp, Saline
Status and ECG. Our project is a working model that incorporates sensors to
measure all these parameters and transfer it to the computer, so that the
patient condition can be analyzed to by doctors in any part of the hospital
wherever they are.
Thus it reduces doctor’s work load and also gives more
accurate results, wherever there is an abnormality fell by the patient, we have
also incorporated saline monitoring system which gives an alarm when the saline
bottle about to empty.
The mobile phone has been recognized as a possible tool for
telemedicine since it became commercially available. The aim of this project is to utilize computer systems as
access terminals for general enquiry and patient monitoring services. We also
utilize mobile phones for sending short messages to doctor, if patient is in
distress.
With this system, authorized users, who can be doctor or
patient's Relatives, can view the patient's monitored physiological parameters
on access terminals. The current and foreseen ageing of the world population has
made patient-monitoring an attractive application because such services would
enable early detection and diagnosis of pathological symptoms in elderly
patients, who generally suffer from chronic diseases.
