Abstract: In this paper, the data transmission of an acquisition system for biomedical vital signs via Radio Frequency (RF) communication is explored. This system can be considered a medical care terminal (MCT). It was developed a platform capable of recording the patient's physiological signals to check if any medical evolution/change occurred. The system allows also acquiring the environment data, as for example the room temperature and luminosity. The main achievement of this paper is the patients’ real-time health condition monitoring by the medical personnel or caregivers that will contribute to prevent health problems, especially for bedridden people with reduced mobility.

 

Keywords: Ambient Assisted Living (ALL), Radio Frequency (RF), Medical Care Terminal (MCT), Biomedical Sensors.
