Abstract

This paper describes a practical development project to enable the monitoring of vital signs data obtained from patients located in remote rural locations. The data are gathered from a wireless network of sensors attached to a patient's body and stored locally for secure transmission over existing communication infrastructures to a hospital server. Clinicians are then able to monitor the patient offline and upload diagnoses.
