Embedded Patient Monitoring System

Abstract

ICU stands for Intensive Care Unit, a place in the hospital where very ill patients are monitored very closely. Typically, the patient-staff ratio is very low and the LIFE-SAVING EQUIPMENT used is very advanced Generally ICU is a hospital facility for provision of intensive nursing and medical care of critically ill patients, characterized by high quality and quantity of continuous nursing and medical supervision and by use of sophisticated monitoring and resuscitative equipment The patients in the ICU need a constant monitoring of their Temperature and heart beat blood pressure. This project is a working model, which incorporates sensors to measure important parameters namely the Temperature, Respiratory temperature and Heart Beat. The sensors are interfaced to computer, so that the condition of a patient can be analyzed by doctors in any part of the hospital wherever they are.
