Abstract:
In this paper, the data transmission of an acquisition system for biomedical vital signs via Radio Frequency (RF) communication is explored. It was developed a platform capable of recording the patient´s physiological signals to check if any medical evolution/change occurred. The system allows also acquiring the environment data, as for example the room temperature and luminosity where the patient is. The main achievement of this paper is the patients’ realtime health condition monitoring by the medical personnel or caregivers that will contribute to prevent health problems.
