Portable Wireless Monitoring Center Designed in LabVIEW and myRIO 1900

Abstract

This work shows the design and development of a portable wireless monitoring center that connects to three vital sign monitors, with each providing electrocardiogram (EKG), partial oxygen saturation (SaO2), and breath signals and heart rate, breath rate, and temperature values. Each signal and value is stored in a variable library in each monitor. The monitors are connected to a Wi-Fi network with the WPA2 security protocol generated by the center. The center accesses the variable libraries of each monitor using the target IP direction. Then, the center groups the data into clusters and connects with a PC to deploy the variables in a virtual instrument with a general screen for deploying the EKG and the values of all of the monitors and specific screens for each monitor. For portability, the center’s power source is 8 AA batteries.
