  • Abstract
    Measurements of vital signs can be translated into accurate predictors of pregnant diseases, even at an early stage. They can also be combined with alarm-triggering systems to initiate the appropriate actions. Because of the emphasis on healthcare awareness and their specific needs, gravidae prefer regular vital signs monitoring in a flexible manner. Thus, different types of sensors are used that involve complex operations, networks, and results. To enhance usability and feasibility, we propose a mobile vital signs monitoring system based on multi-communication fusion and the Android OS so pregnant women can monitor maternal and fetal information anywhere they want. They can also access comprehensive care by transferring data to the server for further processing and remote diagnosis. The accuracy of remote diagnosis is also improved.
