A wireless communication and global location enabled intelligent health
monitoring system comprising of a plurality of wireless medical sensor
apparatus that include an active sensor, a transducer, a digital-to
analog converter, a frequency synthesis, a plurality of bandpass filter,
a plurality of linear power amplifier, a signal mixer, a packaged
antenna, a thin-film battery, for measuring patient vital signs on
different parts of patient body, and a main processing unit apparatus
that contains a system software including intelligent controller which
uses active, real-time monitoring method to measure and process vital
signs and location information for providing alert on location and
transmitting emergency request to remote patient monitoring station for
immediate assistance. Intelligent controller and all application tasks of
said system software are running under separate parallel execution
threads. Under an urgent situation, the two-way wireless communication,
global position data and adaptive location assessment capabilities allow
an emergency service vehicle to be dispatched to the patient that carries
the system. The system includes a (Hypertext Transmission Protocol) HTTP
Web server that can respond to a remote request sent wirelessly either
from a patient monitoring station or a patient's family member through a
standard Internet browser, anywhere and anytime. The system uses a
rechargeable/removable battery in conjunction with a software control to
recharge the system and conserve system power consumption.
