Wireless Low Cost Patient Monitoring System

Abstract

In this ameliorating vogue of medical field, the impending danger of pandemic had driven us into gloom. The doctors can’t monitor each and every patient by coming near to them at all time. This leads to inconvenience for patient and made hospital management to feel helplessness about the problem. Though Conventional PMS monitors the physiological signals constantly but failed in providing it to the medical personnel during emergencies in real time. Other issues with traditional PMS is that most are heavy and bulky machines. Hence we propose to develop a low cost, portable PMS which measures the physiological signals of the patient with minimal intervention and contactless, providing correct and reliable data at the same time. Thus, we proposed a portable real time device that obtains various biological signals from the patients using electronic sensor network.. The acquired signals are processed and displayed in OLED display. Apart from this the emergency signals are transmitted and received wirelessly to the medical professionals for speedy necessary action without the intervention of them self. The proposed PMS system could be connected to a internet in a wireless mode , so that the patients will be free to move while their physiological signals are monitored. Thus, the critical condition of the patient can be informed to doctors and they could be treated promptly if any emergency occurs. This is suitable for the critical care of patients suffering from COVID -19 and monitoring the well being of old people who are at home and need constant monitoring. This is why we call our device low cost Wireless Patient Monitoring System (WPMS).
