Cardiovascular remote monitoring system with Electronic Health Record

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause for death in developed countries. Measuring and Tracking the heart parameters with less cost can benefits the public health directly. This paper proposes a cardiovascular remote monitoring system which collects data from ubiquitous computing device with ECG, Blood Pressure (BP), and Oximeter sensors. The monitoring device has USB connectivity which is widely used with Personal Computer and many other portable devices. It stores the data at local and sends a copy to data processing center for analysis. The communicating message follows HL7 Version 3 standard and can be used to exchange information among different Health Information Systems. Users can manage their own health information by visiting the website hosted at server side. The processing center includes a Decision Support System which analyzes cardiovascular data with related models. It also learns from doctor’s decisions for self wellness purpose. The whole system is portable, low cost, and easy to use.
