Mobicare: E-Health and Emergency Wireless Monitoring System

With the advancement of electronic health (e- health) technologies in the past few years, a number of wearable technologies have been developed to improve the process of remotely monitoring patients. These technologies range from invasive to non-invasive, passive to active, offer a range of different applications, and are most commonly implemented in the form of a Wireless Body Area Network, allowing the patient to move freely while logging and storing their vital signals. This paper will discuss different implementations of e-health systems, and will propose Mobicare; a new ZigBee based implementation of a WBAN that is non- invasive, active, cost and power efficient. The paper will discuss the system architecture of the complete prototype, including the analysis of the patient's Electrocardiogram signal using MATLAB, as well as additions to the system in the form of a smartphone application and an automated pharmacy.
