Abstract :
To provide more convenient and comprehensive medical monitoring, especially to the out-of-hospital patients, this paper describes the implementation of a novel clustered real-time remote monitoring system. The manufacture of portable terminal device and development of hospital monitoring center system are introduced in detail. In addition, all-around tests are made to the whole system. The experimental results indicate that the system can afford a long-term, real-time and continuous monitoring and accurate positioning to multiple patients simultaneously. An automatic diagnosis can also be undertaken. It presents a good clinical application prospect.
