Design of Embedded System in Telemedicine using ARM-7

With the rapid aging of population and more attention about our health, it's more important to do the physical examination every day, especially for old people. But India is dealing more with this problem. However, as we all know, it's very difficult to have a physical examination in hospital, waiting for half a day is not only a waste of time, but also a challenge to weak ones. So we can use this system, which can collect kinds of physiological signal and convey it using internet, including ECG and temperature, Pulse rate, GPS location. ARM-7 is used in this project; it is real industry-specific processor, with high Performance, small space, low power, can suit most embedded applications. The people in India, particularly in rural and remote areas, are found struggling to receive timely medical treatment. The region of the country is characterized by densely populated communities spread over vast distances and there is a lack of expert physicians in certain sectors of the health service. Telemedicine originally emerged to serve rural populations or anyone who is geographically dispersed, where time and cost of travel make it difficult to receive the best medical care. Nowadays, telemedicine is forming a new structure in health-care services. By using information and communication technologies, in the proposed home based health monitoring system using ARM-7 includes the aspects of acquisition of medical parameters like Body temperature, Pulse rate and ECG. Processing of a collected data using ARM-7(LPC2148) processer and processed data is then displayed on doctors or relatives android mobile phones. Also the data can be displayed on LCD Display. The system is utilizing a low cost component to transmit data like ECG to physician for monitoring; diagnosis and patients care at significantly low cost, regardless of patient's location.
