Hospital Wireless Sensor Application Proof-of-Concept from PortwellPatient monitoring with wireless Bluetooth connections to more than 25 biometric sensors
The Hospital Wireless Sensor Platform Proof-of-Concept (PoC) from Portwell, Inc. offers an alternative to the tangle of wires connected to the sensors on a patient's body during vital-sign monitoring. The Hospital Wireless Sensor PoC can connect to more than 25 Bluetooth wireless biometric sensors and has the ability to graphically portray patient sensor data in a familiar Windows® environment. Addressing the full range of requirements for robust wireless sensor medical applications, the Hospital Wireless Sensor PoC combines state-of-the-art virtualization, remote management and hardware security on an advanced multicore processing platform. The LynxSecure hypervisor simultaneously runs Red Hat Linux and Windows XP on the commercially available Portwell platform. Data is acquired from a network of SHIMMER wireless sensors, each with a Bluetooth radio and EMG sensor pads, capable of sensing a 70mv differential between pads.
The LynxSecure separation kernel and hypervisor provides the state-of-the-art software virtualization necessary for both a Linux® operating system and an unmodified Windows operating system to operate in parallel on the platform. The Hospital Wireless Sensor Platform Proof-of-Concept (PoC) is built on Portwell WADE-8067 Mini-ITX board with an Intel Core™2 Duo processor. LynxSecure makes it possible to safely run multiple applications on a single platform by isolating them into separate partitions to prevent unintended or dangerous software interactions.
