Design and Application of Mobile Embedded Systems for Home Care Applications

Abstract

Applied biotelemetry is of growing importance in today's world. Specificity of biotelemetric data put special requirements on real biotelemetric system. This article describes some of conclusions acquired in development of real biotelemetric system using off the shelf embedded hardware technology, namely ARM microcontrollers, FRAM memory and dedicated ZigBee chipsets. Described biotelemetric system is partitioned into logical parts that communicate using custom data protocols. Devices participating in biotelemetric system use ZigBee and Ethernet networks as underlying structure for data communication.
