Abstract

The advancement of technology has helped the world at large in various sectors. The application and improvement of technology in the health sector is very essential to provide timely and accurate health services. This is a project that adds great value to the healthcare sector and reduces the high mortality rates from cardiovascular related diseases. This project emerged due to the high death rates in hospitals owing to lack of constant monitoring of critical patients. The intelligent monitoring system was achieved using fingertip sensors to detect the temperature and heartbeat of patients, the signals are sent to the microcontroller that processes them and outputs the readings on the liquid crystal display (LCD). When the normal value range is exceeded, signals are sent wirelessly to the receiver unit to notify healthcare workers for immediate patient care. This medical system is cost effective and can be used in clinics and hospitals. This project could be further improved to have more vital signs such as blood pressure, respiratory rate and the detected data could be sent to a mobile phone via a GSM module for further analysis.
