Abstract: The goal of this thesis was to develop an application facilitating\npatient monitoring by providing a roaming monitor that a physician can\ncarry with him or her at any time. The thesis itself presents an\noverview of issues encountered before and during the development of\nthe application and explains in detail how and why it was developed.\nCentral topics are embedded software design and implementation and\npattern recognition in medical signals.\n\nIn more detail, the thesis addresses some challenges normally\nencountered in ICU departments of hospitals, where days are often\nhectic and unpredictable and the amounts of information are vast while\nthe time to process such information is limited. The use of a PDA as a\ntool for providing quick access to information is suggested and\nexplored, and a basic patient monitoring application is developed.\nTechnical solutions and alternatives are explored and results of the\nchoises made along with some tests of, and discussions about, what\nexisting hardware is capable of, are presented.
