Abstract

In medical treatment, diagnosis plays a very important role. A reliable, affordable wireless patient monitoring system has been designed. The designed system records the physiological parameters - body temperature, oxygen saturation in blood (SpO2 ), heart rate, as well as two bioelectrical signals-Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Electroencephalogram (EEG). The recorded parameters and signals are then transferred via bluetooth communication protocol to an android based smartphone. The recorded parameters/signals can be transferred to the physician through internet storage and generates alert messages in case of abnormal situations. The android based application comprises of the following features such as, storing the location of the patient, data on the device and internet drive, and view of ECG and EEG graphs. In addition, it helps in monitoring the patient's physiological parameters over the smartphone. An alert mechanism is also provided, which will send the message to the physician when the abnormal condition arise.
