Abstract

Nowadays, most effective nurses time was spent on recording patient information data manually. By monitoring wirelessly, the nurses routine work processes can be fully automated, saving time while at the same time ensure patient care continues to remain effective and efficiency. In this paper, the 2.45 GHz monitoring system using dipole antenna is presented. The performance of Spo2 monitoring for indoor and outdoor environment is discussed and verified. The performance in outdoor environment is better compared with indoor environment.
