Wireless Patient Monitoring System Based on Smart Wristbands and Central user Interface Software.

Area of Science:

• Biomedical Engineering
• Health Informatics
• Wearable Technology

Background:

• Continuous patient monitoring is crucial for timely medical intervention.
• Existing systems may lack real-time, integrated emergency alerts.
• Wearable technology offers a promising avenue for remote patient monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop and evaluate a smart patient monitoring system for real-time heart rate and SpO2 tracking.
• To implement an alert system for nurses upon detection of abnormal patient conditions.
• To enhance the speed and effectiveness of emergency healthcare delivery.

Main Methods:

• A system comprising smart patient wristbands with pulse oximeter sensors, smart nurse wristbands, and central UI software was designed.
• Advanced signal processing algorithms were employed for accurate heart rate and SpO2 calculation.
• A wireless network facilitated data transmission and real-time alerts to nurses' wristbands.

Main Results:

• The system successfully obtains heart rate and SpO2 levels from patients.
• Abnormal conditions are identified, triggering immediate emergency alerts to nurses.
• The system facilitates quicker response times for patient care.

Conclusions:

• The proposed smart monitoring system enhances patient safety through real-time data and rapid emergency notification.
• This technology has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and recovery rates.
• Integrated wearable systems offer a scalable solution for modern healthcare monitoring.
