ABSTRACT:
This paper presents the methodology for monitoring patients remotely using GSM network & Very large scale
integration (VLSI) technique. Patient monitoring systems consist of equipment, devices and supplies that measure,
display and record human physiological characteristics, including blood pressure, body temperature, heart activity,
various bodily substances (e.g. cholesterol, glucose, etc.), pulse rate, respiration rate and other health-related criteria.
A patient monitoring system for providing continuous monitoring of a patient includes a data acquisition and
processing module receiving physiological data from the patient This unit may be inserted in a bedside display unit to
display the physiological condition of the patient. The major reason for the development of the said system is to
reduce the product size , power consumption & cost of the system. The remote monitoring & control of the
physiological parameters can be obtained by interfacing GSM mobile unit with the patient monitoring system. The
system architecture is described. Patient monitoring systems measure physiological characteristics either
continuously or at regular intervals over time. The embedded system is developed using iibero IDE. An application of
this method in Biomedical includes better accuracy, design security, productivity, speed and flexibility.
INTRODUCTION
The aim of this project IS to study &
demonstrate different solution alternatives to
the remote patient monitoring system so that
these solution alternatives take into account
the usability and availability of services. A
further aim is to
demonstrate the remote use of patient
monitoring system using VLSI technique
and to present new alternative user
interfaces to the doctors. We look at
possibilities for patient monitoring with the
help of GSM technology. The purpose is to
find solutions for the utilization of remote
patient monitoring system.
SystemDescription:
Fig.I.l shows the block diagram of
the Patient Monitoring System using
VLSLVarious physiological signals such as
body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate,
and respiration rate are continuously
monitored as well as controlled remotely
with this system. Various types of
transducers are used to sense these
bioelectrical signals. The signals obtained
from the transducers are weak signals,
which are then amplified and converted into
digital form using Analog to Digital
Converter (ADC). ADC output is fed to the
FPGA device.
CONCLUSION
We have described the application of
VLSI in medical field for the remote
patient Monitoring system .The results
obtained for the body temperature
measurement using VLSI Technique proves
better solution over existing PMS due to its
advantages such as better accuracy, design
security, productivity, speed and flexibility
This work is our ongoing project into the use
of embedded system in the healthcare. To
make this technology accessible a number of
issues are to be resolved.
