| Summary: | A remote patient monitoring system is implemented
which is used for real time monitoring of various heath parameters
of a remotely based patient. Oxygen saturation and body
temperature are the two parameters calculated and transmitted via
a server to a remote client. The main purpose of this paper is to
present a remote Pulse Oximetry System for health monitoring
purposes. The framework lays on the idea that the vital health
signs, can be collected from the patient and passed to a processer,
where these signs will be processed, compared and monitored in
order to alert important personnel in the case of an emergency. The
blood oxygen saturation is the biometric sign which is monitored by
this device .The technique used in this work is called
“Photoplethysmography” which is based on the change in the
intensity of light transmitted through the tissue due to arterial blood
pulse. This technique converts the intensity of light into a voltage
signal which is used to calculate the oxygen saturation of the
patient. This is due to the fact that oxygenated blood has such
characteristics in absorbing the Red and Infrared wavelengths
which differs from the deoxygenated blood. Comparison of the two
absorptions produces an estimation of the oxygen saturation in the
patient’s blood. |
