For safe and effective home medical care, a network system for observing one's vital signs noninvasively and evaluating one's health conditions is highly desirable. In this paper, we described a portable vital sensing system and a home medical server to establish a home telemedicine system. In order to develop a portable vital sensing system, physiological sensing circuit, digital signal processor and wireless communication device are integrated into a small electrical circuit, called "smart telecom unit" with a size of 25mm * 37mm. By using a smart telecom unit, noninvasive vital sensing units including blood pressure, electrocardiograph, pulse wave and body temperature were developed. These sensing units are able to communicate vital records to a home medical server, which consists of a small computer and virtual physiological model to estimate health conditions and can seamlessly connect to the Internet. The accuracy and stability were evaluated in the system pe...

In this paper we present wireless solution for continuous monitoring of vital parameters by using the leverage of both the biosensors and the smart technology. The proposed solution consists of three commercially available biomedical sensors and a portable smart technology device. The integration allows continuous capture of the heart rate, respiratory rate, part-time blood pressure and oxygen saturation. The application enables insight into the recent history of the parameters, additionally providing information of the shock index, Glasgow comma scale score and the hemodynamic stability of the patient. The solution is suitable for pre-hospital, during the vehicle transport and in-hospital environment. Given all the hardware used is commercially available, the integration is highly cost effective when compared to the hospital equipment. The reliability has been tested in hospital environment

In this survey paper, we will develop a portable device to monitor the vital health parameters of a patient. The system can be used to monitor vital parameters such as blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature and pulse oximetry. Most of the time patients are unaware of their actual conditions. It is not necessary that doctors are available by their side every time. Now-a-days most of the disease are curable if detected in time. So we have tried to design a system that gives information about his/her physical condition. The device gives information of the vital parameters. This device provides a low-cost, easily accessible human health monitor solution bridging the gaps between the patients and the doctors. The solution is based on the Raspberry Pi and integrated sensor ICs. It also comprises of blue-tooth module to share data. Home care technologies play important role in the home-based health care approach. The main goal is to develop a cost-effective user-friendly health syste...

Over the years people have been monitoring some vital signs in human's health. Notably, in the physiological study of mankind, various methods and techniques are being used to track the heartbeat, body temperature, respiratory rate and arterial blood pressure. This quest was to ensure that humanity is in good condition at all time. Since health is wealth, the human's health becomes a crucial and vital to every medical professionals and scientists as well. Up till today, it is still in progress, and more ways of solving human's health problems keep on unfolding on daily bases. This work takes a critical survey of human health monitoring system, with focus on heart beat, body temperature and blood pressure monitoring devices and systems, how they evolved over the years, and what the human health monitoring system of today are capable of. It also noted some research gaps and sets some agenda for further research work. The ideas presented in this paper will open up more areas for further studies. It will enable researchers to further advance the methods and tools used in monitoring the identified vital signs in human health.

In this paper, we will discuss the modern visionary of the health care industry in order to provide better health care to patient anytime and anywhere in the world in a more economic and patient-friendly manner. Therefore, for increasing the patient care efficacy, this arises a need to improve the patient monitoring devices. The medical world today faces basic two problems: when it comes to patient monitoring, firstly the need of healthcare providers present the bedside pharmacy to the patient and secondly the patient is restricted to bed and wired to large machines [2]. In order to achieve better quality patient care, the above-cited problems have to be solved. This paper discusses the acquisition of physiological parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, breathing and ECG and displaying them in Graphical User Interface for being viewed by the doctor.

Unexpected deaths among humans are an issue that arises from delayed medical attention. Therefore, it is essential to create a system of assessing physical health. Blood pressure, body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, and numerous electrophysiological signals are human physiological characteristics that indicate how the human body functions and are therefore helpful as benchmarks in assessing a person's health. Wearable devices, contact-free devices, and contact-less devices have all been developed by researchers to monitor physiological indicators. This study reviews the various currently existing physiological parameter monitoring systems, their technologies, the sensors used and their performance, etc.

Design of the health monitoring system for the researchers is the hot topic. Health monitoring system is used every field such as hospital, home care unit, sports. This health monitoring system use for chronicle diseases patients who have daily checkup. So, researchers design a system as portable device. Researcher designed different health monitoring system based on requirement. Different platform like Microcontroller, ASIC, FPGA, PIC microcontroller are used to design the system based on this performance. The integration of different medical instrument on the single system on-chip is main achievement for researcher by using different biomedical sensor. Different biomedical sensors like temperature sensor, heart rate sensor, blood pressure sensor are used to monitor the health condition which is integrated on single system on-chip.

From the moment we enter a doctor's office or hospital, we are confronted with equipment designed to improve the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Most of the initial clinical evaluation is aided by seemingly simple devices. However, the fact that these devices have become commonplace does not detract from the elegance of their technological development.Along with the ageing of population, the low cost and high efficiency physiological information monitor systems for the realization of long-term community guardianship are of great significance. This system can improve the life quality and reduce the medical expense. Our paper is a working model which incorporates sensors to measure parameters like body temperature, heart beat rate, blood pressure; and transfer it to the computer so that the patient's health condition can be analyzed by doctors in any part of the hospital. Thus, it reduces the doctor's workload and also gives accurate results. Further this system uses Zigbee technology In ex Terms—Temperature Sensor, Pressure Sensor, Zigbee, Arm Microcontroller, ADC
