Also, Web Publishing tool output can be published on
any system with LabVIEW Web Server. Since the pro-
posed system uses LabVIEW for signal processing, it is
easy to use and maintain with low energy consumption,
unlike the system [2] which uses a high end ARM pro-
cessor.
5. Conclusion
The ECG and Pulse signals were successfully acquired,
preprocessed and transmitted using the transmission me-
thods available in LabVIEW viz. Web Publishing tool
and Shared Variables. The output of Web Publishing
Tool is viewed using any web browser and numerical
values such as the Heart and the Pulse Rates are trans-
mitted efficiently, thus saving bandwidth. The potential
usefulness of this two channel low-cost, low-power te-
lemedicine system is aimed for improving rural health
monitoring. Further enhancement of this work would be
to extend it to a multiple physiological parameter trans-
mission module with provision for storage of waveforms
and other data.
