The research of remote medical care in embedded systems

With the development of the Internet and computer technology, the cost, size, and power requirement of microprocessors have drop to a point [1]. It is possible for us to merge the capabilities of computer with the capabilities of Internet to expand their area of applications. The development of technology can provide us with high performance MCU, and it is possible to design an embedded computer with its operating system to connect with Internet. For integration aspects using Internet services and embedded systems can provide a suitable solution to overcome certain critical issues in exploiting remote facilities. It is the inevitably trend in most of network projects in the future. In this paper we present an approach to use Internet and embedded systems for remote medical care, and give an introduction of the structure, of the constitution of the embedded computer developed by our team, of the operating system Vxworks, at last show an experimental result made by us.
