REVIEW ON DEVELOPMENT OF PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEM
Patient Monitoring System (PMS), communication system, GSM, Bluetooth, web service, zigbee
In medicine, monitoring is the observation of a disease, condition or one or several medical parameters over time. Repeated or continuous observations or measurements of the patient, his or her physiological function, and the function of life support equipment, for the purpose of guiding management decisions, including when to make therapeutic interventions, and assessment of those interventions. A patient monitor may not only alert caregivers to potentially life-threatening events; many provide physiologic input data used to control directly connected life-support devices. For smart living, interactive applications are increasingly important especially on interaction of people and the environment. Smart Mobile Phones are the most accessible form of technology globally and offer a highly convenient system for self monitoring coupled with instantaneous feedback, and thus potentially engaging the patient in the monitoring Telemedicine systems have become an important supporting for the medical staffs. As the development of the mobile phones, it is possible to apply the mobile phones to be a part of telemedicine systems. Wireless technologies are bringing about dramatic improvements in the quality of patient care by allowing unprecedented mobility while providing medical staff with easy and real-time access to patient data. In the paper, we had reviewed about the different communication based patient monitoring system. Currently there are different communication systems available such as GSM, Bluetooth, zigbee, web service, intranet, etc.
