Abstract :
We have developed a real-time vital signs monitoring system for two years in 2012 and 2013. Just by putting a single vital sensor node to the back waist position of each player and placing four data collection nodes around a field, the system can monitor at a note PC heart rate (HR), energy expenditure (EE) and body temperature (BT) for all players during a football game in real-time, periodically and reliably. The system is based on novel vital sensing technique and wireless data transmission technique. This paper introduces the two techniques in the system, presents some problems encountered in the system development and discusses solutions for them.
