Wearable computer system for remote health state monitoring

In this work the prototype of the computer system for health monitoring was developed. The heart of the system is a wearable computer that is intended for use by the people whose health should be monitored. The device is connected to several biomedical sensors and constantly receives the critical health state information such as body temperature, heart rate and breathing strength. Acquired data transmits by internet connection to the care company where it is processed in order to take actions in case of the critical situation. Since the internet connection on the wearable device is a bit of a problem the mobile phone is used as an intermediate device. Mobile phone acquires the data from the device using the wireless link and transmits it to server using the cellular network. The prototype developed in this work consists of three major parts that are: wearable device electronic prototype, mobile phone application and server application for the care company part. In the prototype basic version the wearable device acquires two characteristics from sensors preprocess them and send on the connection. Mobile phone application allows to get data from several devices, show live data on the screen without storing it and send to several servers. On the server part received data is stored in the database and could be shown to the user using the server web interface. The system was developed under the scalability requirements. So it could be easily extended with additional functionality in hardware or in software.
