Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Remote medical monitoring alarm system can transmit medical information and realize dynamic physiological monitoring.
OBJECTIVE: To design a remote medical monitoring alarm system based on GPS and GPRS.
METHODS: The system consisted of central station and multiple subscriber terminals. The real-time physiological and location information of patients were gathered by collection terminal and then sent by positioning transmission module to GSM mobile communication network by using medical monitoring technology, mobile communication technology, embedded technology and GPS technology, so a doctor could diagnose and deal with patients timely to realize the real-time remote monitoring and alarm of physiological parameters.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The system built a remote medical information transmission and medical treatment platform which was trinitarian for families, communities and hospitals, through which patient’s medical and position information were sent to a medical center immediately, then experts made a diagnosis and provided guidance and assistance. The system can be used in pre-hospital first aid, out-hospital care, and remote medical and emergency assistance. It is not only applicable to hospital and ambulance, but also to monitor and track chronic patients in family.
