Popis: Vital signs are the indicators which evaluate the existence of health status and life quality. Hospitals may provide medical services for acute and chronic diseases and injuries. However, continuous monitoring and long-term treatment becomes difficult in such type diseases. In this paper, continuous vital signs monitoring system CVSMS based on wireless body area network WBAN is designed. And the gathered data is transmitted to a mobile phone via Bluetooth and then transferred to a remote server and stored in the database. In this way, a variety of vital signs such as body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, and ECG information would be acquired. Through the analysis and assessment of CVSMS, the results showed that the measurements are accurate and it provides an effective method for continuous health monitoring.
