Analysis of the usage of mobile devices as distributed tools for patient health monitoring and remote patient data acquisition

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic raised the need for telemedicine systems. Wearable and mobile devices are often a crucial part of those systems. In accordance with current research, this paper presents an analysis of some means, sensors and devices for remote patient health monitoring which can be combined together to form a complete patient health monitoring system. A few ways of measuring the health parameters are described. Focusing on the benefits offered by contemporary technology towards more complete use of telemedicine potential, this paper also reviews topics from the field of biomedical engineering.
