Real-time monitoring systems (RTMSs) have drawn considerable attentions in the last decade. Several commercial versions of RTMS for patient monitoring are available which are used by health care professionals. Though they are working satisfactorily on various communication protocols, their range, power consumption, data rate and cost are really bothered. In this study, the authors present an efficient embedded system based wireless health care monitoring system using ZigBee. Their system has a capability to transmit the data between two embedded systems through two transceivers over a long range. In this, wireless transmission has been applied through two categories. The first part which contains Arduino with ZigBee will send the signals to the second device, which contains Raspberry with ZigBee. The second device will measure the patient data and send it to the first device through ZigBee transceiver. The designed system is demonstrated on volunteers to measure the body temperature which is clinically important to monitor and diagnose for fever in the patients.
在过去十年中，实时监测系统（RTMS）已引起了相当大的关注。有几种用于患者监测的商业版实时监测系统可供医疗保健专业人员使用。尽管它们在各种通信协议上运行良好，但其范围、功耗、数据速率和成本确实令人困扰。在本研究中，作者提出了一种基于ZigBee的高效嵌入式系统无线医疗保健监测系统。他们的系统能够通过两个收发器在两个嵌入式系统之间进行远距离数据传输。在这个系统中，无线传输分为两类。第一部分包含带有ZigBee的Arduino，它将信号发送到第二设备，第二设备包含带有ZigBee的Raspberry Pi。第二设备将测量患者数据，并通过ZigBee收发器将其发送到第一设备。该设计系统在志愿者身上进行了演示，以测量体温，这对于监测和诊断患者发热在临床上具有重要意义。
