A mobile monitoring system utilizing short message service with low -cost
hardware equipment has been developed and implemented to enable
transmission of the temperature and ECG signal of a patient.
Communication between a mobile phone client and a remote smart-phone (or
PDA) consultation/server unit is achieved through programming the client
using attention commands (at-commands), and the protocol description unit
(PDU) mode.
The experimental setup can be operated for monitoring from anywhere
covered by the Cellular (GSM) service by exchanging SMS messages with the
remote mobile device.
At the consultation unit, a dedicated application software is required to
manage the follow of SMS messages from the mobile and display the
temperature and ECG of the patient.
