Abstract:
This article presents a simple yet unique health monitoring system especially for the critical or unattended patients who need continuous observation. In this system patients' physical information i.e. body temperature, pulse rate, blood glucose level have been measured using different sensors which are then automatically uploaded to online for observation of their physicians or the relatives who are at distance places from the patients. Here, firstly patients' body temperature, pulse rate, blood glucose level are measured using different sensors which are then fed for processing to a micro-controller. The processed data is sent to LCD display, where these information has been viewed for the first time, as well as to a computer through RF (Radio Frequency) module. Next the data from module is converted by RS232 to USB converter and decoded by mikroC software. At last the decoded data from the device is updated online automatically in the interval of 15 seconds with the help of a software platform. This novel system would be helpful for the relatives as well as the doctors to monitor the patients' condition from anywhere and to react quickly in case of unwanted serious condition.
