Abstract EN
Telehealth systems benefit from the rapid growth of mobile communication technology for measuring physiological signals.
Development and validation of a tablet PC enabled noninvasive body sensor system for rural telehealth application are discussed in this paper.
This system includes real time continuous collection of physiological parameters (blood pressure, pulse rate, and temperature) and fall detection of a patient with the help of a body sensor unit and wireless transmission of the acquired information to a tablet PC handled by the medical staff in a Primary Health Center (PHC).
Abnormal conditions are automatically identified and alert messages are given to the medical officer in real time.
Clinical validation is performed in a real environment and found to be successful.
Bland-Altman analysis is carried out to validate the wrist blood pressure sensor used.
The system works well for all measurements.
