Low Cost Wearable Monitoring System(Sensors,Microcontroller,Mobile/Cellular Phone)
Submitted: April, 2010
The project is related to an emerging area of applied research called “wearable computing”. Our task in this project is to design, implement and test a wearable healthcare monitoring system. The main idea is to develop a complete unit consisting of sensors, a digital signal processor or microcontroller, a small battery, etc, that monitors a patient condition and sends information wirelessly to a nurse room or to a doctor’s cell phone alerting them to the condition of the patient and perhaps the location. The unit has to be light, wearable, and consume power efficiently.
