Remote monitoring of vital physiological signs

The aim of this project is to build a virtual image and the patients' data for real time data and signal transfer to a remote place. Patient information will also be available to those who have authority, to access the information. LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) will be used in displaying the signal in the computer. Virtual instruments will be created in order to acquire the electrocardiograph (ECG) signal. Two data acquisition cards were used, namely PCI-MIO-16E-1 and PCI 4451. LabVIEW gives the flexibility of a powerful programming language without the associated difficulty and complexity because its graphical programming methodology is inherently intuitive. Another signal, oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) will be acquired through serial connection of the equipment to the computer. This project aspires to create additional links for the communication between health practitioners when discussing the patients' data and situation. Connection to the Internet will be done using TCP/IP.
