Oyeleke O.r, Emuoyibofarhe, O.j . Healthcare Personnel�s Preference for Age Ranges to Wear Intelligent Mobile Biomedical Sensor (IMBS) for Blood Pressure Monitoring. International Journal of Applied Information Systems. 2, 1 ( May 2012), 17-21. DOI=10.5120/ijais12-450238
Intelligent Mobile Biomedical Sensors (IMBS) combined with telemedicine have been introduced to overcome problems associated with distance. In order to get prompt access to medical and accurate health care, persons with chronic diseases (i. e. diabetes, rheumatism, hypertension and heart defects) may be monitored remotely for better treatment and response for changes in the illness development at home. This paper presents an overview of remote healthcare delivery with its conceptual frameworks, healthcare personnel's level of awareness and age preference for the use of IMBS for blood pressure monitoring.
