Kevin Paulson, Jatin Desai . Stand Alone Personal Digital Health Monitoring System based on Android OS. International Journal of Computer Applications. 111, 9 ( February 2015), 54-58. DOI=10.5120/19570-1348
In this paper, a low cost, portable and compact digital health monitoring system has been proposed. In this system biological parameters such as Electrocardiogram, Body Temperature and Pulse rate are acquired and displayed on an Android device. The signals will be displayed with the help of a Bluetooth connection between the Android device and Raspberry pi. The signals will be transmitted in real time to the Android device. An Android app has also been designed which will be capable of handling numerous Android devices and at the same the same multiple devices can also be connected to the proposed system. The Raspberry pi can be configured as a server thereby increasing the capacity of the system. Also the app that has been designed is simple to understand and use and as such can be used by anyone possessing an Android device.
