Using Biomodule for Vital Parameters Measurement in Hospital Environment

Abstract

Trauma surgeons at emergency departments in hospitals consider the wireless biomodules as valuable information source about the patients health state. Doctors point of view is very important in designing solution for software support for these biomodules. We have designed and developed a software solution for using Zephyr Bioharness biomodule for patients in hospitals, developing features regarding the vital parameter signal processing and visualization. This solution provides live monitoring of ECG, heart rate, respiratory rate, posture and acceleration. The vital parameters measurements are also stored remotely and used for history and further analysis of the patient health state. As a case study, the solution is set and currently under testing in General Hospital in Celje, Slovenia.
