Abstract :
A portable parameter monitoring and analysis system for physiological studies and for assisting patient-centric health care management is developed. The system uses the network approach to acquire the data from sensors and transmit them to a server through wireless propagation means. The system automates the acquisition and monitoring of physiological parameters by continuous display on the monitor screen. Programming is done using industry strength software to display data and trends in real time on a standard PC. The measured data is accurate and lives up to the standards of the industry.
