Diagnostic Validation of A Vital Signs Monitor Prototype with IOT Technology

Healthcare is a fundamental area in a modern society, for any country or region, along with other no less important areas such as education, agriculture, security, among others. Healthcare is complemented nowadays with the use of medical devices and technologies, through which medical professionals are supported to offer patients increasingly faster and more effective diagnoses and treatments. What is more, today the practice of medicine is unthinkable without the support of biomedical technology. The present research aims to demonstrate that, with the technological level achieved in the field of biomedical engineering in the Central American region, we have the capacity to design and build our own biomedical technology of medium complexity, which would bring benefits to our society since it would reduce dependence on countries that already manufacture and trade them. The design of a vital signs monitoring prototype has been further explored and, as an additional technological advantage, data transmission via wireless using “Internet of Things” (IoT) devices.
