A ZigBee-based wearable cardio-pulmonary monitor for mobile health care is introduced in the article. The monitor, which detects cardio-pulmonary parameters, exactly the heart rate, R wave and respiration rate, makes the mobile medical care available in the wireless communication way via Zigbee. Only three surface electrodes (Ag-AgCl) have been used in the device for cardio-pulmonary parameters detection. The acquired physical data are sent to the serve station via the ZigBee, where the data can receive the further analysis and the results can be stored properly. With the help of the wearable wireless monitor, both efficiency and quality of medical care will be greatly improved. In addition, not only the pain those patients suffered but also the death rate of the ICU patients will be significantly decreased. The device has the advantages of low cost, low power consumption, miniaturization and high comfortableness.
