New Hardware (Beta Testing) with Potential to Be Used in Medical Care Using Wireless Technology and Virtual Instrumentation

Abstract:

In this paper we would like to strengthen the idea of how new hardware interacts with software technologies and how these new devices can be integrated in the medical care applications by using “Virtual Instrumentation” (software programs developed in the well known LabVIEW from National Instruments company) and wireless technology. The given examples will be referring to the new Intel “RealSense” product line, programmable systems-on-chip (PSoC and SoC), FPGA – field programmable gate array (Intel Galileo, Cypress PSoC4 Pioneer kit, Terasic DE2i-50, NI myRIO, etc.) and to the latest developed wireless systems that can work in mesh networks, being connected to the Internet (Microrisc IQRF wireless system, Intel Edison, Cypress wireless system, etc.). The new developed platforms are low-cost, product-ready, general purpose computer platforms that can be used or integrated for implementation of different parameters surveillance systems, data acquisitions, remote controlled applications, etc., all of these being very suitable for the medical care development domain.
