A Non Invasive Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Remote Monitoring System

Abstract

Health monitoring systems have become an important research field today. Research on health monitoring were developed for many applications such as in home care units, emergency monitoring systems etc. This paper proposes the design of a non invasive wireless heart rate and blood pressure remote monitoring system based on an embedded board and Bluetooth wireless technology. The real time biomedical signal is sensed and measured using an optical measurement circuit based on Photoplethysmography technique. Blood pressure and heart rate readings are calculated on the basis of the developed algorithm and are displayed on the LCD screen. Moreover these numerical values of heart rate, systolic and diastolic pressure can be transmitted to any bluetooth enabled computer or smart phone via Bluetooth wireless technology.
