and body temperature by implementing cloud computing and low-cost Broadcom BCM2837 ARM family processors with all sensors integrated in the vest to record major physiological parameters that can be worn in form of jacket. The sensor values received can then be transmitted wirelessly using inbuilt Wi-Fi module to Google Firebase which gets updated from time to time and further updates the android app for convenience of doctors to follow up with the patients immediately during emergencies. The system will have the ability to monitor more than couple of patients at the same time.
