| description | One of the world's most leading killer diseases is
the cardiovascular disease, which accounts for 16.7 million deaths
annually. Out of the total population in the world, about 22
million people run the risk of sudden heart failure. However,
saving the lives of cardiac patients can be improved by the
emergency monitoring so that the initiation of treatment can be
taken up within the crucial hour. The acquired signals by pulse
oximetry provide significant information about the heart-rate,
arterial blood oxygenation, blood pressure and respiratory-rate.
Telemedicine provides a great impact in the emergency
monitoring of patients located in remote nonclinical
environments. A home cardiac telemedicine emergency system
based on photoplethysmography has been developed. The
acquired signals are processed, transmitted and stored in a local
PC. Finally, the data are sent to the remote terminal located at
the hospital through internet. The diagnoses are done by
specialists from the reading and action can be immediately taken
in emergency cases. |
