Wireless Patient Monitoring System

In todays' world, remote patient health monitoring using wireless technology plays a vigorous role in the society[1]. This paper presents a monitoring system that has the capability to monitor physiological parameters like body temperature, pulse rate [2] from multiple patient bodies. In the proposed system, a coordinator node close to the patient's body collects all the signals from various sensors and sends them to the receiver node (base station)[3]. The proposed prototype includes two sensor nodes and receiver node (base station)[4]. The sensor nodes are able to transmit data to receiver via RF network using wireless nRF transceiver module. The nRF transceiver module is used to transfer the data from microcontroller to PC [5] where it is then displayed using windows form application and then save the data into a database. This system can reduce energy consumption to prolong the network lifetime as well as provide a cheaper, easier and quick means to monitor patient's health.
