A Unified Diagnosis Kit Design for Telemedicine

Abstract

Vital signs of vulnerable adults, such as heart beat, oxygen saturation in blood and body movement, are tracked continuously in real-time while they are at home and alone. These data are used to present person's past and current status to the related physician and carer, as well as to detect emergencies. The data are sent by the wellbeing sensors via Bluetooth BLE technology, collected and processed by a developed mobile application, stored in the cloud, and shown numerically and graphically on a Web page. Together with the data presentation, abnormalities are detected, alarms are raised and early warnings are given to the medical staff. Such system would be beneficial for both patients and health workers, having affordable sensors and a remote diagnose support tool.
