Remote monitoring system of physiological parameters in home care

Abstract

With the increasing number of individuals with chronic diseases and elderly people in Brazil, regular medical monitoring is necessary to monitor and preserve the physiological parameters. The present study developed a system of remote monitoring of body temperature, heart rate and oxygen saturation of the blood for the application in Home Care systems. The remote monitoring system developed has three stages that are able to collect the data, transmit this data via Wi-Fi to a cloud server and analyze them on a computer remotely. The designed system also notifies the user via his cell phone of the appropriate time and which measures to take according to a patient specific schedule and if the procedure was successful.
