Visible Light Communication (VLC) applications in Remote Patient Monitoring Systems (RPMS) offer several advantages and opportunities, including security, privacy, and efficiency. Specific applications include:
1) Continuous Vital Signs Monitoring: VLC can be used for real-time transmission of biometric data, such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and oxygen saturation. Wearable or patient-implanted sensors can capture this data and transmit it via modulated light signals to a base station or monitoring device.
2) Intra-hospital communication : Secure communication between medical devices is crucial to ensure the integrity of healthcare data. VLC can play a key role in enabling secure data transfer between devices, such as bedside monitors and infusion pumps.
3) Precise geolocation and patient tracking : Precise geolocation of patients inside hospitals is a key application of VLC. Visible light-based tracking systems can locate patients with high accuracy, which is particularly useful for monitoring the movements of patients with cognitive impairment or those requiring continuous monitoring.
