A PDA-Based Modular and Multipurpose System for Intelligent Ubiquitous Monitoring

This paper proposes a ubiquitous patient monitoring system using mobile devices, in which all communications are based on the use of wireless technology. The most salient features of the system are:<ol><li> Its multi-purpose nature - the architecture has been conceived so that the device can be configured to monitor patients with different illnesses</li> <li> The organisation of the physiological signal processing through a layout of processing levels structured into modules which can be incorporated and substituted in a simple manner, facilitating the reconfiguration of the monitoring functions</li><li>The use of techniques from the field of Artificial Intelligence to provide information closer to the decision-making process of medical specialists.</li></ol>
