REMOTE HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM (RHMS)

Abstract

Precision and timeliness of the information collected relating to patients still remain as open challenges in current health systems, especially for cases relating to monitoring of patients with chronic diseases and severe health conditions. As a consequence, there is a need for improving quality of the gathered information which in-tum can largely improve the decisions made by medical professionals. Continuous observation of patients can allude towards predicting their future conditions (physiological and physical), help to reduce the health care cost while simultaneously improving patient care outcomes. This can be customarily performed through the usage of one or more sensors attached to the patient’s body. Indeed, critical decisions made by the medical staff can largely depend on the gathered information originating from such sensors. For that, this work proposes the design of an automated Remote Health Monitoring System (RHMS) aimed towards indoor patients, such as for those present inside the hospitals. The proposed system has the potential to provide medical personals with the ability to continuously monitor the patients through a centralized observation system without being physically present at their bedsides. In this project we have investigate the issues of information quality, in-terms of precision and timeliness, hence providing essential research pieces and motivation particles about this subject.
