Design and Implementation of a Wireless Patient Health Monitoring System

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of an IoT wireless patient's health monitoring system. The system can be used to continuously monitor the body temperature and pulse rate of a patient located in a hospital room using biomedical sensors. The temperature and pulse rate values are taken from the sensors and processed by an Arduino Uno. Furthermore, they are sent wirelessly via RF communication using a 433 MHz transmitter and receiver kit. The readings are encoded and sent to the receiver where they are decoded and displayed on an LCD screen. Finally, the temperature and pulse rate values are also displayed and stored online using an Arduino Ethernet Shield 2 for future analysis.
