Abstract - This paper presents the Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) system which is perceived to be more convenient and cost effective than traditional care, since it enables healthcare organizations to monitor and manage patients remotely; provisions of the right information, in the right place, at the right time are the fundamental in RPM. However, the current uses of wired sensing devices as well as their connections to network systems are not suitable for long-term RPM, as their usage restricts patients’ mobility. Advances in biomedical sensors and wireless network technologies have made it possible to develop a wireless RPM system. Such a wireless RPM can provide enhanced mobility and comfort to patients during hospitalization
