A wireless heartbeat and Temperature Monitoring System for Remote Patients

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a wireless heartbeat and temperature monitoring system based on a microcontroller at a reasonable cost with great effect. Most monitoring systems that are in use in today’s world works in offline mode but it is of great need that a system must be designed so that patient can be monitored remotely in real time. The paper consists of sensors which measures heartbeat and body temperature of a patient which is controlled by the microcontroller. Both the readings are displayed in LCD monitor. Wireless system is used to transmit the measured data to a remote location. The heartbeat sensor counts the heartbeat for specific interval of time and estimates Beats per Minute while the temperature sensor measures the temperature and both the data are sent to the microcontroller for transmission to receiving end. Finally, the data are displayed in the LCD at the receiving end.
