Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: BACKGROUND: The health monitoring situation for elderly patients in remote areas remains challenging. The use of modern computer technology, sensor technology, and mobile communication to provide real-time remote monitoring of vital physiological parameters for elderly patients, especially those with special medical conditions, is highly important. OBJECTIVE: To provide portable and real-time remote monitoring of vital physiological parameters and to increase the level of health care for elderly patients in remote areas, this study designed and implemented an Android application-based remote vital physiological parameter monitoring system. METHODS: By utilizing the STM32F103RCT6 microcontroller as the central processor and employing microcontroller technology, wireless communication, the MQTT protocol, sensor technology, and Android application development, a user-friendly health monitoring system that enables real-time vital physiological parameter monitoring, and location tracking capabilities is realized. SIGNIFICANCE: This system can provide alerts for abnormal vital physiological data, effectively responding to sudden emergency health conditions. Additionally, it can serve as a daily tool for monitoring vital physiological parameters, helping to monitor the health of elderly patients in remote areas and improve their quality of life.
