Description

The convergence of an aging population and breakthrough technological advances has created endless opportunities for automated medical devices.

These devices help ensure the future health of millions of people by providing advances in diabetes care, cardiac care, therapy adherence and general health and wellness applications. Regardless of the end use, developers of healthcare/medicals devices face similar challenges–the need to balance processing requirements with power consumption, a fast time-to-market, secure wireless connections and product longevity.

The application patient monitoring senses the vital signs of a patient and displays them. If any of the vital signs drops below a secure range the device will send an alert to the medical staff.

For the entry version of this application an i.MX 6 ULL applications processor is recommended for its low power consumption, touch screen driver integration and low cost.

Features

• Checks patient vital signs and uploads them to the cloud
• Quick alerts if the patient is in danger
• Gathers the information of all the sensors in the human body
• Secure wireless connections
• Displays vital signs
