無線嵌入式生醫分析平台

Abstract

現今的醫療資源相當的有限，不論是醫護人員或醫療設備，要如何才能有效的使用與分配一直是全球所面臨的難題。早期的醫生診斷就如同人們利用腦袋來處理各式各樣的事情，效率上較差；後來醫學上有了儀器設備的分析就如同電腦的發明，幫人們處理許許多多複雜的問題，不過同一時間只能供一個使用者使用；現今許多的研究單位及學者設計出遠端醫療分析系統就如同當時昂貴且龐大的電腦主機提供許多的終端機，讓多人可以同時的使用，但如果使用的人數過多，可想而知反饋的時間也將會非常的長；如今科學的進步，每個人都擁有個人電腦供人們即時的使用，醫學的發展呢？ 因此，本論文提出一套無線嵌入式生醫分析平台，輕巧的外觀並且使用無線的技術方便人們在日常的生活中使用；搭配作業系統有效的分配系統及週邊資源；具有強大的處理、運算能力提供即時的分析與反饋；可擴充外部記憶體提供大量的生理信號記錄；此外還具有很大的彈性，只需搭配不同的前端感測器與分析軟體即能做不同的分析。無線嵌入式生醫分析平台可長時的分析與記錄人們日常生活中的生理狀況，並適時的給予反饋，人們可儘早知道可能的問題，即時的就醫診斷，減少不必要的醫療資源浪費，同時醫生也能從長期記錄的資訊中分析出問題所在。

Medical resources nowadays are very limited. So it is always a difficult problem for the whole world to deal with, that medical people or medical sysyems should be used and shared more efficiently. In the early days, doctors's diagnoses are just like people dealing with all kinds of things with their brains. Gradually, some medical analyses are done by machines instead of human brains. This is just like the invention of computers. Computers do all kinds of things no matter how complicated they are. The only problem is that it can only do one thing at the same time. Up to now, the far-end medical analysis systems developed by many research institutes and scholars are just like the expensive and huge hosts providing services to many terminals for people to use at the same time. However, if too many people are using the same system, the feedback time for the host will be much longer. Now with the advance of the science, everybody has a personal computer for themself to use. And for medical? Therefore, a wireless embedded biomedical analysis system, which is light, handy and applies wireless technique for our daily usage, is proposed in this thesis. The operating system can distribute the system resource efficiently. It also has the powerful ability to do the analysis and feedback immediately. The expandable memory provides us the posibility to deal with a great amount of bio-signals. Moreover, with exchanging different front-end sensors and software, different kinds of analyses can be done. This wireless embedded biomedical system can log and analyze people's daily physiological changes and feedback properly. With the system's help, people can find out the problems as soon as possible and find a doctor in time and thus reduces the waste of medical resources. Furthermore, doctors can also see what exactly the problem is according to the data which is recorded over a long period of time.
