Abstract :
We present a, system that allows emergency telephone calls to be made when a patient activates the alarm by pressing a button on the wireless ambulatory monitor. The system involves a tri-axial accelerometer in-built to a RF (radio frequency) transmitter, RF receiver, telephone dialer module and a personal computer where data is stored for analysis.
