Design and development of a ubiquitous healthcare monitoring system based on Android platform and ISO/IEEE 11073 standards
With the growth of aging populations in both developed and developing countries and the increase of noncommunicable disease, the contradiction between increasing healthcare demands and the shortage of medical specialists have become more and more serious. Wearable personal health devices (PHDs) provide a good solution to this problem. But due to the proprietary interface and data protocol, the compatibility and extensibility problem among different PHDs producers strongly influenced the spread adoption of the wearable PHDs in the field of telemedicine. So we designed and implemented a ubiquitous health monitoring system based on Android tablet, which can not only acquire and process the physiological signals from non standard laboratory developed multi function wearable health monitoring sensors, but also acquire and process the physiological signals from standard PHDs comply with Continua Alliance or/and ISO/IEEE 11073 standards. The preliminary results demonstrate that this system can not only receive data from standard and non standard PHDs, but also do the arrhythmia classification and heart rate variability analysis in real time.
