| dc.description.abstract | Despite the numerous telemedicine systems that have emerged in the past, the Advanced Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) Machine (ARM)-based mobile monitoring system for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients is designed in order to provide a low::;cost and affordable solution in ICU patients monitoring for small-scale ' -- hospitals. the designed monitoring system is constructed of patient terminal, doctor terminal and server terminal. The patient terminal has a bedside monitor and vital signs sensors, which provide vital parameters of temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate and Saturation of Peripheral Oxygen (Sp02). The bedside monitor functions as the control center of the system to acquire the vital parameters from the sensors. The vital parameters are then sent to the ARM-based portable device in the doctor terminal for monitoring purpose. The ARM-based portable device was developed using ARM Versatile PB926EJ-S with Windows CE 5.0 as its Operating System (OS) platform. The program for the portable device is written using Visual C# .NET, which enables Graphic User Interface (GUI) display on the ARM-based portable device. Besides that, the bedside monitor also sends the vital parameters to the patient• database in the server terminal through Ethernet. The database allows the doctors to check .the medical history of the patients more conveniently. The data communication of the monitoring system is implemented by wireless approach using XBee transceiver module~ which is of ZigBee standard. It is a low-cost wireless communication solution and it is used for short-range data transmission, ideal for ICU patients monitoring within the hospital area Equipped with an alarm system on the bedside monitor and the ARM-based portable device, the doctors will be notified when critical situations happen to the ICU patients. The system has been tested for the accuracy of the vital signs sensors and the reliability of the XBee wireless transmission. The reliability tests include Bit Error Rate (BER) test and Average Access Time (AA T) test. Both tests were carried out in the library of the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Engineering Campus as it provides the similar indoor environment as a hospital. • | en_US |
