System of Acquisition, Transmission, Storage and Visualization of Pulse Oximeter and ECG Data Using Android and MQTT

Abstract

The prevention of medical disorders significantly increases both life quality and expectancy. Continuous monitoring of biomedical parameters and/or vital signs of a patient, and easy access to medical history is thus of major importance, whilst enabling a person's normal routine. The development of remote healthcare sensors used to monitor specific conditions and with digital interface for prompt data access, arises as a valuable asset to respond to such requirements. In this paper we present a system of health data collection, transmission and storage designed for electrocardiography (ECG) and Pulse Oximetry results. Our goal is to address this challenge by creating a system for acquiring and transmitting data via Bluetooth to an Android mobile platform, which sends it to a remote server, where the data is stored in a database, and becomes available for visualization This enables any remote user to access vital data on a patient without being physically present.
