title: [Development of an automatic measurement system of biological signals].
abstract: Recently, in-home treatment of hemodialysis has been focused on the enhancement of the quality of life (QOL) of patients. However, no medical staff monitors the treatment, and the family helpers have to take care of the patients during hemodialysis. Sometimes the patients themselves have to do it according to their circumstances. In order to reduce the burden placed on the patients and people around them, we are trying to develop a system for preliminary diagnosis of the patient's condition before the hemodialysis session, which estimates the condition of the patients and encourages a necessary treatment to them. In this paper, we describe an automatic measurement system of biological signals, which consists of two subsystems, a measurement system and a data collecting system. These subsystems are connected through wireless communication, allowing remote observation of patients' biological signals.
