Vital Signs Monitoring in Human Body

Abstract

Vital signs monitoring system embeds the data acquisition of vital signs such as ECG, respiration rate, temperature and glucose level in the blood of the patient. In this work, a system is designed for acquiring and monitoring several vital body parameters. These signals are transmitted to the user through Wi-Fi. The device receives the body temperature reading from standard thermometer and the glucose level in the blood from standard Glucometer via Bluetooth. The ECG, Respiration rate, Temperature readings and Glucose level readings are processed using ARM microprocessor and transmitted to the receiver such as Personal computer/Mobile/Tab through Wi-Fi module. It is a wearable battery equipped device which allows the user to operate effortlessly. It also includes the Beeper/Audio codec to signal or alert the user when abnormal ECG or respiration rate is sensed. All these can also be visualized through LCD display.
