  • Abstract
    This article is about monitoring patients health, where patient´s physical information i.e. body temperature and pulse rate have been measured which will automatically be updated to online for the help of those who lives distant places and wants to know the condition of their physician. In this project, firstly the temperature and pulse-rate data have been taken from the patient and fed for processing to a microcontroller. Then the processed data have been sent to LCD display, where the real data has been viewed for the first time. After that the data has been send to computer through RF (Radio Frequency) module. Next the data has been converted by RS232 to USB converter and decoded by “mikroC” software. At last the decoded data which is patient temperature and pulse-rate data from the device have been updated to online automatically. This facility would help the relatives´ as well as the doctors´ to monitor the patients´ condition from anywhere. In this project the research on the design of a health monitoring system to support patients. The focus has been on the automatic data reading of their temperature and pulse rate and then transfer the reading online through internet so that the patient´s physician and relatives can check it. The data will be updated in the interval of 15 seconds. A software platform was built to handle these data from the experiments.
