Abstract

In this article a wireless patient monitoring system for vital signs (respiratory rate and heart beat) is presented. The recorded biosignal is the photoplethysmogram using a probe attached to the patient's finger. This signal is amplified, filtered and digitized by an on-board processor unit before finally being sent wirelessly via a transmitter. The capacity of the current system is 16 patients whose data can be received through a common receiver by a central server which measures and displays the heart beat and respiratory rate for each patient on the monitor.
