Wireless Patient Monitoring System

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter gives the brief description about the need for wireless patient
monitoring system and its importance. This chapter also gives the brief description about
scope of the project and design methodology.
Patient Monitoring System is a process where a surgeon can continuously
monitor more than one patient at a time in remote place.

1.1 Proposed Work
Some severe diseases and disorders e.g. heart failure needs close and continual
monitoring procedure after diagnosis, in order to prevent mortality or further damage as
secondary to the mentioned diseases or disorders. Monitoring these types of patients,
usually, occur at hospitals or healthcare centers. Heart arrhythmias for instance, in many
cases, need continual long-term monitoring. However, the patients are often too early
released, owing to need of hospital bed for another patient on the waiting list, who needs
to be hospitalied immediately.
1.2 Scope of the Work
!ong waiting time for hospitaliation or ambulatory patient monitoring"treatment,
are other well-#nown issues for both the healthcare institutions and the patients. This
project provides healthcare authorities to ma$imie the %uality and breadth of healthcare
services by controlling costs. &s the population increases and demand for services
increases, the ability to maintain the %uality and availability of care, while effectively
managing financial and human resources, is achieved by this project. The use of modern
communication technology in this conte$t is the sole decisive factor that ma#es such
communication system successful.

'n spite of the improvement of communication lin# and despite all progress in
advanced communication technologies, there are still very few functioning commercial
wireless monitoring systems, which are most off-line, and there are still a number of
issues to deal with.
Therefore, there is a strong need for investigating the possibility of design and
implementation of an interactive real-time wireless communication system. 'n this
connection, a generic real-time wireless communication system has been designed for
short and long term remote patient-monitoring, using wireless protocol. The primary
function of this system is to monitor the temperature and Heart (eat of the Patient. The
*ata collected by the sensors are sent to a Microcontroller at the transmitting end. The
Microcontroller feeds the signal to encoder then it is transmitted via &M transmitter over
the air.
&t the receiving end a receiver is used to receive the data and it is decoded and fed
to another Microcontroller, which is then displayed over the !,* display. 'f there is any
deviation in any parameter in the patient<s status, an alarm is sounded to alert the

3.1 INTRODUCTION
)mbedded systems are one of the emerging technologies which are touching every
noo# and corner of the mind. 1't is impossible to live without these embedded gadgets2-
says )!),T+-.',S magaine. /rom the above statement, the liveliness of embedded
system can be understood. *ata communications is one of the most rapidly growing
commercial mar#et areas today, especially 1wireless communications2. 'n the past few
years, wireless data communications has grown from an obscure and e$pensive curiosity
into a practical and affordable communication and networ#ing technology.
The convenience of wireless is very appealing as not to deal with running cables
to and from devices in order to interconnect them, and wireless devices can be moved to
any location within the transmission range, while still being able to communicate and
broadcast data. *ue to this, it is e$pected that wireless data communications will become
even more popular and more e$tensively used in the medical field. ,urrently the most
popular method of wireless communications is radio fre%uency transmission. &s these
devices have a very low power consumption and power output, perhaps more importantly
devices can achieve good data transmission rates.

%.1.2 Descriptio!
The device is manufactured using &tmel9s high density nonvolatile memory
technology and is compatible with the industry Standard M,S-56 instruction set and pin
out. (y combining a versatile 3-bit ,PF with flash on a monolithic chip, the &tmel
&T3>,?456 is a powerful microcomputer which provides a highly fle$ible and cost
effective solution to many embedded control applications.
%.1.3 1#&sh "e-or$
/lash memory is a type of ))P+-M, which has a grid of columns and rows with
a cell that has two transistors at each intersection. & thin o$ide layer separates the two
transistors from each other. -ne of the transistor is #nown as the floating gate and other
as the control gate.
Dept. of ECE, GSSSIETW, Mysore. 10
Wireless Patient Monitoring System
The floating gate9s only lin# to the row, or Gword line9, is through the control gate.
&s long as this lin# is in place, the cell has a value of G69. This value can be changed to
G49 using the /owler-.ordheim tunneling process.
Tunneling is used to alter the placement of electrons in the floating gate. &n
electrical charge, usually 64-6: volts, is applied to the floating gate. The charge comes
from the column, or bit line, which enters the floating gate and drains to ground. This
charge causes the floating gate transistor to act li#e an electron gun. The e$cited electrons
are pushed through and trapped on the other side of the thin o$ide layer, giving it a
negative charge. These negatively charged electrons act as a barrier between the control
gate and the floating gate.
& special device called cell sensor monitors the level of the charge passing
through the floating gate. 'f the flow through the gate is greater than 54 percent of the
charge, it has a value of G69. =hen the charge passing through the gate drops below the 54
percent threshold, the value changes to G49. & blan# )P+-M has all of the gates fully
open, giving each cell a value of G69.
The electrons in the cells of a flash memory chip can be returned to the normal G69
state by application of an electric field 7a higher-voltage charge8. /lash memory uses in-
circuit wiring to apply the electric field to the entire chip or to the predetermined sections
#nown as bloc#s. The targeted area of the chip is erased, which can be rewritten. /lash
memory wor#s much faster than traditional ))P+-Ms because instead of erasing one
byte at a time, it erases a bloc# or the entire chip and then rewrites it.
&n ideal memory sub-system is one which has high density, can be read fast and
preserve data in non-volatile condition, and is easy to program"reprogram and cost-
effective. *ifferent memory technologies meet one or more of these re%uirements very
well, but have certain limitations that prevent the product from becoming a genuine
solution, especially in newer applications.
/lash memory is a non-volatile memory combining the advantages of
)P+-M"))P+-M, +-M, and *+&M. There may be differences between the specific
technologies used by different manufacturers but their basic principle is same. /or
e$ample, 'ntel /lash memory use .-+ gates, while Samsung memory uses .&.* gates.
Dept. of ECE, GSSSIETW, Mysore. 11
Wireless Patient Monitoring System
The technology used by 'ntel is further classified based on the core memory cell.
The first technology is the original single-bit"cell flash memory which allows a single bit
of information to be stored in each cell 76Herased and 4Hprogrammed8.
The second and the most recent technology uses a multi-level cell structure, for
e$ample, 'ntel Strata /lash memory. This technology allows two bits of information to be
precisely stored in a single transistor. Programming a cell 7charge placement8 and reading
7sensing8 must be precisely controlled in order to have four states within a single
transistor. &ccording to 'ntel, the multi-level cell flash memory employs a reliable .-+-
based architecture and is ideally suited for high-density applications.

The device derives its power from 6K=ire communication line by storing
energy on an internal capacitor during periods of time when the signal line is high and
continues to operate off this power source during the low times of 6K=ire line until it
returns high to replenish the parasite 7capacitor8 supply. &s an alternative, the *S63?4
may also be powered from an e$ternal 5 volts supply. The communication to the *S63?4
is done via a 6K=ire port. =ith 6K=ire port, the memory and control functions will not

The *S63?4 measures temperature through the use of an onKboard proprietary
temperature measurement techni%ue.
& bloc# diagram of temperature measurement circuitry is shown in /igure @.@.
The *S63?4 measures temperature by counting the number of cloc# cycles that an
oscillator with a low temperature coefficient goes through during a gate period
determined by a high temperature coefficient oscillator. The counter is preset with a base
count that corresponds to K55M,. 'f the counter reaches ero before the gate period is
over, the temperature register, which is also preset to the K55M, value, is incremented,
indicating that the temperature is higher than K55M,. &t the same time, the counter is then
preset with a value determined by the slope accumulator circuitry.
Dept. of ECE, GSSSIETW, Mysore. 18
Wireless Patient Monitoring System
This circuitry is needed to compensate for the parabolic behavior of the oscillators
over temperature. The counter is then cloc#ed again until it reaches ero. 'f the gate
period is still not finished, then this process repeats. The slope accumulator is used to
compensate for the nonKlinear behavior of the oscillators over temperature, yielding a
high resolution temperature measurement. This is done by changing the number of counts
necessary for the counter to go through for each incremental degree in temperature. To
obtain the desired resolution, therefore, both the value of the counter and the number of
counts per degree , 7the value of the slope accumulator8 at a given temperature must be
#nown. 'nternally, this calculation is done inside the *S63?4 to provide 4.5M, resolution.
The temperature reading is provided in a 6BKbit, signKe$tended two9s complement
reading. Table @.6 describes the e$act relationship of output data to measured
temperature. The data is transmitted serially over 6K=ire interface. The *S63?4 can
measure temperature over the range of K55M, to N6?5M, in 4.5M, increments. /or

%.<.1 CIRCUIT E8P(ANATION
The Microcontroller &T3>,?456 is used to sense the heart (eat R the body
temperature. The temperature was sensed by using a temperature sensor ', *S6B?6S it
has an inbuilt temperature sensor circuitry and analog to digital converter. The
Microcontroller also displays the Heart beat R (ody temperature on an !,* display. The
(ody temperature and heart beat was splitted into nibbles and fed to the encoder ',. The
encoder ', will send the data to the transmitter.
Two sensors are used for sensing heartbeat and temperature.!)* and !*+ are
used as Heartbeat sensing in the circuit .
The +ed high intensity light emitted by led initially falls on !*+ .This is the
condition where the heartbeat is calibrated to ero using resistor +
6B.
=hen a patient
places his finger in between !)* and !*+ the light is restricted by the finger .The
intensity of light penetration decreases if the blood is pumped into the finger .'f the blood
is not pumped then the light intensity is high .This high and low light intensity helps to
measure heartbeat .&ctually light falling on !*+ cuts due to blood movement .The
duration of light disturbed is measured which gives the time duration of each heart beat
pulse ,inverse of this time gives the heartbeat count per minute .This signal is amplified in
two stages using dual operational amplifiers.+
6E
resistor is used to adjust the s%uare wave
pulse obtained, ,
@
is used as feedbac# capacitor .The output after amplification is
obtained at pin number E of -P-&MP and fed to microcontroller.
*S63?4 is the temperature sensor .'t uses onboard proprietary temperature
measurement techni%ue for temperature measurement. =hen a patient holds his finger
around *S63?4 the temperature is sensed in ?44ms and that temperature is converted into
its e%uivalent current and fed to microcontroller.

&t the receiver end the &M receiver will receive the data signal and it was fed to
the decoder ',. The decoder ', decodes the data into digital .ibbles 7@ bits8. This data is
fed to the microcontroller. The Microcontroller will get these signals through the ports
and display the heart beat R temperature over the !,* display.
The microcontroller will also compare the heart beats and temperature with the
predefined values and if any one of them goes abnormal the buer is switched on until
the reset button is pressed.
This serial data is received via &ntenna at +eceiver where &ntenna is an &rial.
This gives the serial data converted into parallel ones .then fed to the decoder HT6?*.

a driver transistor . the need for this drive transistor is because the voltage supplied to the
buer is 5A but actually the buer needs 6?A.Hence a *river transistor is needed. The

The heart beat is sensed with help of an !)* and !*+ arrangement. The !)* is a
high intensity type !)*. Here the !*+ is the sensor. &s Sensor, a photo diode or a photo
transistor can be used. The s#in may be illuminated with visible 7red8 or infrared !)*s
using transmitted or reflected light for detection. The very small changes in reflectivity or
in transmittance caused by the varying blood content of human tissue are almost invisible.

The various noise sources may produce disturbance signals with amplitudes e%ual
or even higher than the amplitude of the pulse signal. Aalid pulse measurement therefore
re%uires e$tensive preprocessing of the raw signal. The new signal processing approach
presented here combines analog and digital signal processing in a way that, both parts can
be #ept simple but in combination, they are very effective in suppressing disturbance
signals.
The setup described here, uses a red !)* for transmitted light illumination and a
!*+ as detector. =ith only slight changes in the preamplifier circuit the same hard- and
software could be used with other illumination and detection concepts. The detectors
photo current 7&, Part8 is converted to voltage and amplified by an operational amplifier

RESU(T
=ireless Patient Monitoring System measures Heart (eat and Temperature of a patient.
&long with measuring, a variation in the reading is alarmed. 'mplementing this system through
&, mains is not a tedious job because ?:4 volts power supply is easily available. &long with
this, the conversion of ?:4volts to 5volts is done which prevents haardous harm to human
beings.
Temperature is measured using *S63?4, which gives temperature to current conversions
in ?44ms and it does not re%uire any e$ternal circuitry. Hence it is simple and easy to measure
temperature. This measured temperature is displayed over an !,* display via microcontroller.
Heart (eat is measured by passing an high intensity red light through a finger which is collected
by !*+, amplified and displayed over an !,* display via microcontroller.
These two measured parameters are encoded and transmitted via &M transmitter. The &M
+eceivers receives the signals, decoder decodes these signals and displays it over an !,*
display through microcontroller.

CONC(USION
(iomedical engineering 7(M)8 is the application of engineering principles and
techni%ues to the medical field. 't combines the design and problem solving s#ills of engineering
with medical and biological sciences to improve patient9s health care and the %uality of life of
individuals.
& medical device is intended for use in the diagnosis of disease, or in the cure, treatment,
or prevention of diseases.
Thus in 'mplementation of =ireless Protocol for Patient Monitoring System, the heart
beat and body temperature are successfully sensed. Temperature is measured using *S63?4,
where it follows onboard proprietary temperature measurement techni%ue. Heart beat is
measured using !)*, !*+ and H&E6:53 dual operational amplifier. Hence both parameters are
displayed on a !,* display. Then both the parameters are transmitted and displayed in a distant
location via &M Transmission.
This project will eventually reduce man power in the very near future.
