Abstract

This paper presents an approach to remote monitoring of basic physiological parameters using Bluetooth technology and the wired telecommunication infrastructure. As such, the system is convenient for use in continuous monitoring of patient health at homes, working areas and hospitals. The suggested architecture has been described at the levels of multi-point Bluetooth client, hospital-office-home Bluetooth server, and their integration in global telemedicine network. In paper, an emphasis is given on functional description of system components and the software data flow at the host side as well. The preliminary testing results of the realized prototype verified the advantages of Bluetooth based approach against classical one. The planned future work on this issue is presented as well.
