India to develop their unique mobile phone health monitoring system
Loughborough University engineers have forged a partnership with
experts in India to develop their unique mobile phone health monitoring
system.
The device, which was first unveiled in 2005, uses a mobile
phone to transmit a person's vital signs, including the complex
electrocardiogram (ECG) heart signal, to a hospital or clinic anywhere
in the world.
Created by Professor Bryan
Woodward and Dr Fadlee Rasid from the Department of Electronic and
Electrical Engineering, the system enables a doctor to observe remotely
up to four different medical signals from a freely moving patient.
Signals that can be transmitted include the ECG, blood pressure, oxygen
saturation and blood glucose level.
