The Research of Telemedicine System Based on Embedded Computer

In this study a telemedicine system based on embedded computer system is presented, which is designed specially for the need of immediate medical treatment in remote areas. In the system embedded Linux is cut down, customized and ported into the monitor terminal. Data interchange between the monitor center and the terminal via Internet and GPRS is introduced. This system which is convenient, portable and high cost-effective, can tele-monitor four vital bio-signals, such as cardiograph, blood pressure, respiration and temperature through GPRS or Internet, which is of great improvement for development of telemedicine in developing countries
