DST-WB project on Wireless Health Monitoring

 Project Title: Development of short range health monitoring system using ZigBee based wireless communication

Period: 2016-2019

Funding Agency: Department of Science & technology and Biotechnology, Govt of West Bengal

Total Funding in INR: 9.45 Lakhs.

Principal Investigator / Coordinator: Dr. Rajarshi Gupta

Co-Principal Investigator: Dr. Jitendranath Bera 

Objective of the project: 

The objective of the proposal is to monitor cardiac patient(s) from short distance using wireless communication technology. For this, a portable module (named biomedical sensor node, or, BSN) will be attached to the monitored patient body. A remote end transceiver unit, named BSCU, or, biomedical signal collection unit, coupled with a personal computer, will be placed at a central location within the same hospital/ healthcare unit. A software named cardiac signal processing (CSP) system, to be developed, in the central computer will enable a skilled professional/ doctor to acquire medical data, on demand, from patient. The patient records can also be stored in data files and shared with experts for treatment advice.
