Wireless Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Monitoring Network

We present a networked application to monitor vital signs in patients without affecting their daily routines. The proposed application, which provides a monitoring and management environment, is practical especially in the case of elderly and young patients. We describe the implementation of the application, which targets reading the heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) signs of patients remotely, in a context where multiple patients are considered concurrently. The application includes a control unit that analyzes remote readings, prioritizes them following their urgency, alerts health specialists for alarming readings, and feeds a server application where a database of all monitored patients stores history of the readings for each patient.
