A Survey on Remote Patient Monitoring System

Abstract: In recent years, waiting time in hospitals, emergency admissions, etc extremely costlier. It also increases the work load of doctors and medical professionals. Managing the quality, cost of the treatment and caring for elderly patients are important issue in healthcare. These issues have a demand for remote patient health monitoring system. Here the human body parameters are monitored by different ways through wearable medical devices, biosensor and smart textiles. Then the collected data transferred to the remote server through internet. Security, accuracy, wearable sensors, outdoor monitoring and ease of use are some of the aspects in remote patient health monitoring system. This paper reviews the current development and research on remote patient health monitoring system. A variety of system implementation were evaluated and compared to identify the technical shortcomings in the present health monitoring system. The aim of this survey is to provide the direction of future improvements.

Keywords: Remote patient health monitoring system, biosensors, wearable medical devices, smart textile and outdoor devices.
