ICU Patient Monitoring And Alert System

Its very important to monitor the vital signals of patients in the ICU. Some times this can be a very difficult job when there are many signals to monitor and some of them are very important. Electronics sensors are available for almost all of the vital signals. And those sensors are very accurate. The vital signals are

1. Temperature
2. Pulse Rate
3. Blood Pressure
4. Respiratory Rate
The aim of the monitoring system is to measure all these signals and send them to server for continuous monitoring and notification. A device will be attached to the patient with all these sensors. The readings from these sensors are digitized and then transmitted to a central server via bluetooth, wifi or a wireless serial link. At the server end the signals are continuously monitored and if any signals are at alarm levels the system will automatically inform a doctor or responsible support person.
