Application Of Bluetooth Technology On Wireless Palm ECG Monitor

As a kind of short-range wireless communication technology, Bluetooth has become one of the basic wireless technologies to be used in wireless embedded medical equipments with small size and low power-consumption.Adopting Bluetooth wireless communication technology, a new type of ECG monitor equipment-Wireless Palm ECG (electrocardiographic) Monitor replaces the traditional wire-connected one. With the background of the trend of the development of medical health instrument, the thesis introduces the characteristics and protocol of Bluetooth and compares them with other prevalent wireless communication technologies. After that, it presents the design and implementation of Bluetooth wireless communication with simplified protocol. The main issues are:Design and implement of L2CAP(Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol). L2CAP, which is the bridge between higher level and lower level protocols, is part of core contents. It masks the details of lower host-host protocol for the application and higher protocol.Testing of SDP(Service Discovery Protocol). SDP is also part of core contents. It defines a standard way, through which Bluetooth device can find the services supplied by others.In the end, the thesis makes a prospect of the development of Bluetooth technology and its further applications in the field of medical health. The Wireless Palm ECG Monitor is ready for the time being.
