Development of a device for remote monitoring of heart rate and body temperature

Abstract

We present a new integrated, portable device to provide a convenient solution for remote monitoring heart rate at the fingertip and body temperature using Ethernet technology and widely spreading internet. Now a day, heart related disease is rising. Most of the times in these cases, patients may not realize their actual conditions and even it is a common fact that there are no doctors by their side, especially in rural areas, but now a day's most of the diseases are curable if detected in time. We have tried to make a system which may give information about one's physical condition and help him/her to detect these deadly but curable diseases. The system gives information of heart rate and body temperature simultaneously acquired on the portable side in realtime and transmits results to web. In this system, the condition of heart and body temperature can be monitored from remote places. Eventually, this device provides a low-cost, easily accessible human health monitor solution bridging the gaps between patients and doctors.
