Guanhua Wang · 2011
With the problem of global population aging increasing, lack of medical hardware, inadequate patient monitoring system performance and other related issues have become increasingly prominent. This paper presents the design and implementation of a patient information real-time feedback and monitoring system with wireless network communications based on GPRS, Medical institutions as the information processing terminal, and Browser/Server structure as the mode of information exchange within the medical institutions. The system has following characteristics: easy to reuse, good internal information exchange, easy to extend, wide-scope usage, portable, low power consumption, and easy to integrate with existing hospital management system due to flexible design of the computer software and B/S structure.
