摘要

現今因為飲食與生活型態的改變造成各種慢性疾病的衍生，加上目前人口結構高齡化使得罹患慢性疾病的人愈來愈多，所以醫療照護的需求大增，也因此各界開始發展遠距醫療的技術。但是對於位處偏遠地區網路不易佈建的人來說，遠距醫療還是有一定的限制，若是發生緊急情況需要送醫時，對這些病患來說更是特別的危急。
在本論文中，我們基於雲端實作一個具高速移動性的遠距監測生醫平台，提供病患在遠端接受醫療照護的服務，結合無線感測網路及無線通訊網路技術成為雲端系統生醫平台，讓使用者可以透過行動裝置監控個人健康資訊。本系統在資料的傳輸上皆採用無線的傳輸方式，在近端網路以ZigBee通訊協定建構無線感測網路，整合各項生理感測設備，包含心跳、血氧濃度、血壓、體溫及心電圖，在遠端網路使用3G無線通訊網路，即可不受有線的限制，將前述資訊傳送給雲端伺服器。在此雲端伺服器中提供多媒體的互動服務，讓遠距醫療照護的服務不再只有數值的判斷，還加上了聲音與影像。透過本系統，平時可以做為即時的居家生理監測，若是發生危急情況時，會發出緊急通報給照護員，並結合救護車成為移動式的緊急照護平台。由實測的結果證明在高速行駛下，本系統仍能提供穩定且立即性的生理資訊與多媒體資訊傳輸，進而有效的提升病患的醫療服務品質。

Nowadays, due to the changes of diet and lifestyle that cause a variety of chronic illness, the population structure is aging that makes more and more people suffering with chronic diseases. Since demands of the medical cares are gradually heightened, people started to develop all kinds of tele-medicine technologies to meet the requirements. People live in the far-off downtown, whose networks are hard constructed, such that there are some limitations for tele-medicine. If an emergency case happens in this region and people need to take medical treatment, it is very critical to seek medical advice to these patients.
In this study, based on the concept of the cloud computing, we implement a high-mobility biomedical platform for the tele-monitor to provide patients with tele-medicine and tele-care. The communication systems of our design are all using wireless transmission. The ZigBee protocol is employed as the wireless sensor network (WSN) in the local network. The physiological sensing devices of WSN contain the heart rate, pulse oximeter oxygen saturation, blood pressure, body temperature, and ECG. Then, the 3G wireless communication network is applied as the remote-network. The information of the local-network can be transmitted to the server of the cloud computing. This cloud computing server provides the tele-medicine and tele-care, which include the interactive service of the multimedia, judgments of bio-information, voice, image information. Our design system can make the real-time service of tele-care in the daily life. Under the emergence case, it not only sends the emergence notice to the nurses for asking help but also supports as a high-mobility biomedical platform to provide the necessary service. From the simulation and experiment results at a high-speed driving, our system can still provide the stable and real-time bio-information and the multimedia information; hence it can effectively promote the medicine service quality for these patients.
