Abstract-Telemedicine schemes that allow the monitoring of patients with cardiovascular pathologies are an increasing necessity, especially for arrhythmia detection and monitoring. This paper describes the development of a telemonitoring scheme based on GSM/GPRS data transmission technology that emphasizes in the record and transmission of cardiac events. In this scheme the patient wear a small monitoring device which acquire the electrocardiogram (ECG), processes the signal using algorithms for heart rate calculation and serious arrhythmias detection by means of phase space reconstruction; stores the events in a removable memory card; and transmits the signals if an signal abnormality detection occur. The information is send to a specialized center of cardiovascular monitoring, where it can be evaluated by a physician, who can make a diagnosis without requiring patient displacement. The different components of the system have been validated through different tests confirming their functionality. Palabras claves- I. INTRODUCCIÓNLos sistemas ambulatorios electrocardiográficos (AECG) son ampliamente utilizados para monitorizar la actividad eléctrica del corazón, mientras el paciente realiza sus actividades cotidianas, con el fin de registrar y monitorear aquellas alteraciones del ritmo cardiaco o arritmias que ocurren durante ciertas actividades difícilmente repetibles en un laboratorio o centro médico, tales como estrés emocional, e incluso durante el sueño y el reposo [1]. Sin embargo, la elevada incidencia de patologías cardiovasculares que requieren el uso de estos sistemas ha obligado a la continua búsqueda de soluciones basadas en nuevas plataformas de computación y comunicaciones que ayuden a mejorar la efectividad en el registro de arritmias y seguimiento de cardiopatías.Los sistemas de tele-monitoreo de pacientes con anormalidades cardiacas permiten realizar un seguimiento remoto desde el hogar utilizando dispositivos especializados en conjunto con un sistema de telecomunicaciones, ya sea por medio de líneas telefónicas estándares, redes de cable o tecnología de banda ancha [2]. Se han desarrollado alternativas que incorporan diversos métodos de comunicación inalámbrica que permiten extender y flexibilizar la acción del tele-monitoreo [3-5], algunas de ellas incorporando el uso de un teléfono celular u otro dispositivo móvil que posea un módem GSM-GPRS tal como una computadora de mano o Asistente Digital Personal (PDA) [4,5]. En los últimos años se han desarrollado soluciones que incorporan en un único dispositivo compacto la capacidad de comunicación inalámbrica directa con el centro de monitoreo [6][7][8]. Sin embargo, muchos de los desarrollos se han orientado sólo a la transmisión inalámbrica de las señales obtenidas, excluyendo funcionalidades de grabación de eventos o análisis local de la señal, y otros no ofrecen suficiente capacidad de memoria para la grabación local de eventos, dejándolos susceptibles a la pérdida de datos ante una pérdida de comunicación en la red.Este trabajo se propone un esqu...

Abstract-Modern world advances in sensors miniaturization and wireless networking which enables exploiting wireless sensor networking to monitor and control the environment. Human health monitoring is promising applications of sensor networks in a healthcare environment. Sensor system was worn by the human that creates wireless body area network to monitor and provide synchronized response to the patients for medical contextual information received by sensors. Though, challenging tasks are encountered by researchers to address habitually conflicting necessities for size, time to operate, correctness of data, reliability and time to store that data and provide responses accordingly. This paper encompasses the structural design of hardware as well as software in a wireless sensor network system for monitoring health issues. The paper outlines few healthcare services, innovations latest trends those monitor patients in the health care systems and propose some of the other future trends where they might be helpful for future research to be used in handheld.

Epidermal radio frequency electronics for wireless power transfer

Epidermal electronic systems feature physical properties that approximate those of the skin, to enable intimate, long-lived skin interfaces for physiological measurements, human-machine interfaces and other applications that cannot be addressed by wearable hardware that is commercially available today. A primary challenge is power supply; the physical bulk, large mass and high mechanical modulus associated with conventional battery technologies can hinder efforts to achieve epidermal characteristics, and near-field power transfer schemes offer only a limited operating distance. Here we introduce an epidermal, farfield radio frequency (RF) power harvester built using a modularized collection of ultrathin antennas, rectifiers and voltage doublers. These components, separately fabricated and tested, can be integrated together via methods involving soft contact lamination. Systematic studies of the individual components and the overall performance in various dielectric environments highlight the key operational features of these systems and strategies for their optimization. The results suggest robust capabilities for battery-free RF power, with relevance to many emerging epidermal technologies.
