傳統在醫院中正常新生兒的照護是以人工的方式每4-8小時量測一次新生兒的生命徵象，新生兒如果發生異常狀況需要等到下次量測生命徵象時才會被發現。若可以即早發現新生兒的異常狀況，護理人員就可以即早進行治療。在論文中我們提出了一套無線監控系統，用來監控新生兒的心跳與呼吸。若有異常狀況發生時，會透過手機與護理站的電腦有效的通知護理人員進行處理。本系統是透過量測心電圖訊號來計算新生兒的心跳與呼吸次數，系統量測到的心電圖訊號會透過IEEE 802.15.4的無線通訊協定傳到護理站的電腦即時顯示。我們提出的系統在沒有移動的傳送端可達到98%以上的資料完整率，在移動中傳送端也有95%以上的資料完整率。另外，使用了資料庫中新生兒的心電圖訊號和呼吸訊號來驗證心跳與呼吸計算的準確性，心跳與呼吸計算都分別有98%與95%的正確性，其中，心跳有計算的範圍為每分鐘99到174下，呼吸有計算的範圍為每分鐘28到79下。總結，本系統提供了新生兒異常的主動警報，並且在無線傳輸上有高的資料完整性以及在心跳呼吸計算上有高的正確率，本系統可以增進正常新生兒在醫院的安全性。

Traditionally, the healthcare for normal neonates in hospitals is to manually measure vital signs every 4-8 hours. The health status of neonates between successive measurements is unknown, which cannot detect the abnormal status immediately. If the abnormal heart rates and respiratory rates are detected as soon as possible, the abnormal statuses can be treated immediately. Our system provides a wireless monitoring system for heart rate and respiratory rate of normal neonates in the hospitals. When abnormal status is detected, the system will directly alarm the nursing staff through the phone and station, allowing the nursing staff to handle the event immediately. The heart rates and respiratory rates are calculated from ECG signal. The ECG signals are transmitted by IEEE 802.15.4 communication technology. The proposed system achieved more than 98% received data integrity with static transmitters and more than 95% received data integrity with moved transmitters. In addition, the accuracies of heart-rate and respiratory-rate computation are 98.74% and 95.75%, respectively. The computational range of heart rates are between 99 beats/min and 174 beats/min, and computational range of respiratory rates are between 28 times/min and 79 times/min. Summary, the proposed system supplies actively alarm and performs high received data integrity and high accuracies of computations. It is able to enhance the safety of normal neonates in the hospital.
