本研究目的為建置一套用嵌入式系統為主體並整合生理資訊監控模組以及全球衛星定位系統模組及GSM模組的遠距醫療照護系統。此裝置上所運行之作業系統為可修改原始碼的Linux作業系統。此裝置用來提供使用者生理及位置資訊給遠端照護人員來進行遠距離監控使用者生理狀態及位置。此行動輔助裝置在本研究中研發的遠距照護網路上面設定為閘道器,用以聯繫使用不同通訊技術之網路。在生理監測設備跟嵌入式系單板的溝通上採用藍芽無線傳輸技術。在嵌入式單板跟遠端資訊伺服器溝通方面採用GSM系統將訊號傳輸至電信公司所架設之基地台再進入網際網路傳輸至遠端資訊伺服器。 本實驗主要為驗證該系統之可靠性,及穩定性。在可靠度方面對其傳送之數據進行資料正確性的驗證以及傳送所需要之時間之測量,以確保資料之正確與即時性。穩定性方面之驗證為進行長時間的傳輸資料,確保系統在長時間之操作下依然能傳輸正確之數值。而在遠端系統著重的是資料顯示的可讀性及介面的易讀性。以便醫療人員能正確的即時的判斷使用者的生理狀況。經由實驗結果 ,本研究已完成一基於嵌入式系統且運行開放原始碼Linux作業系統之遠距醫療照護系統。
The purpose of the research is to building a remote health-care unit which based on embedded system and integrated physiological sensor device and GPS (Global Positioning System) .The operation system running on the device is Linux which can amend source code .The device is used to providing physiological and position information of user to remote nursing workers for monitoring physiological status and position .The visual impaired walking assisting device is configured as a gateway which links networks with different communication technology . The communication between physiological sensor device , GPS and embedded system is using Bluetooth technology . On the other hand , the communication between embedded system and the server is using GSM module . The experiment propose to verify trusty and stability of the system. Experiment for trusty , we test for the correctness and the consuming of the time for transmitting . For the stability , we test for the working status after long time operating . The user interface on the server is focusing on the readableness of data and easy to use. So that the doctor can know the status of the user. According to the result of experiment the research has completed a remote health-care unit which based on embedded system.
