ABSTRACT
In this paper, we are proposing an advancement of the already designed health monitoring system by using a heart beat rate, respiratory rate and ECG monitor system. It offers the advantage of portability. The paper focuses on: how microcontroller board is used to analyze different data/input from patients in real-time, how to use data from different sensors, heart beat rate, respiratory rate and ECG and fire an alarm in case of any emergency or abnormality faced by the patient. This is very useful for future analysis and review of a patient’s health condition. This system can also be useful in controlling and monitoring a patient’s health and/or athletic people’s health for a long time period. The program reads, stores and analyses the rate of heart beat signals, respiratory rate and ECG signals continuously. Hardware and software architecture is tailored to a single-chip microcontroller-based device, thus minimizing scale. Also all the process parameters within an interval selectable by the user are recorded online. The first tests were encouraging.
