Remote patient's health monitoring / Mohd Azhar Mohd Razali

As the Internet begins to play a greater role in many healthcare processes, it is inevitable
that remote monitoring of patients' physiological parameters over the Internet will
become increasingly commonplace. Internet-based commimication between patients and
their healthcare providers has aheady become prevalent, and has gained significant
attention in terms of confidentiality issues. Continuous monitoring of physiological
signals has the potential to greatly improve the quaUty of life of patients with diseases.
Recent advances in sensor technology make the capture of such signals possible. In this
paper, we present Remote Patient's Health Monitoring, a real-time, operator-based
system solution for managing physiological patient's body temperate reading.. The
system processes data using the device simulator that acts as real time body temperature
sensor. The architecture is scalable, allowing implementation on systems ranging fi'om
desktops to server farms. It guarantees real-time response and data persistence in a
distributed environment. We apply this prototype system to the problem that arises with
current medical system.
