Abstract: Majority of the population, especially
the people older than 65, suffer from Chronic Heart Failure leading to frequent
hospitalizations which results in high health expenditure. So, we have
developed a complete and integrated Information and Communication Technology
system on LabVIEW platform that enables the doctors
to diagnose and monitor the CHF patients from distance. This system measures
the heart rate and blood pressure of the patient through heart rate sensor and
blood pressure sensor. The output from these sensors are
transmitted to the remote system via Bluetooth. It is then transmitted to the
Hospital Information System by using LabVIEW tool. This
enables the CHF patients to daily collect vital signs at home and automatically
send them to the Hospital Information System and it also allows the physicians
to monitor the patients from distance and to take timely actions in case of
necessity.
