Remote patient monitoring (RPM) of physiological
measurements can provide an efficient method and high
quality care to patients. The physiological signals
measurement is the initial and the most important factor
in RPM. This paper discusses the characteristics of the
most popular sensors, which are used to obtain vital
clinical signals in prevalent RPM systems.
The sensors discussed in this paper are used to measure
ECG, heart sound, pulse rate, oxygen saturation, blood
pressure and respiration rate, which are treated as the
most important vital data in patient monitoring and
medical examination
