Abstract :
The design of portable low cost systems for remote monitoring of patients with chronic diseases is one of the most important fields in telemedicine and telecare. Using Bluetooth communication technology, which can be added to some medical equipment, may enhance the efficiency of patient monitoring. In this paper a low cost, secure portable system with wireless transmission is presented to monitor vital parameters such as heart rate, O2 level ...etc. Transmitted data is archived and visualized both on a mobile phone and on a central server.
