%X Portable Biomedical Devices for health care management are producing a great impact in the monitoring of patients located in areas different from clinical environments such as homes, military bases, ships, and the like. The development of portable telemedicine device is accelerated by new technology like wireless transmission, GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, Internet application and reduction of electronic device that make it wearable.The aim of the developed device is the provisioning of extended monitoring for patients under therapy after infarction, data collection in some particular cases, remote consultation and low-cost ECG monitoring for the elderlies unable to announce their failure condition. So the system allows real-time rescue of patients having heart failure and high risk of life.
