Abstract

Health monitoring is one of the most important parameters to diagnose a patient, and it can be done in many ways. Temperature monitoring and pulse rate of a patient is one of the ways. Temperature sensor and pulse rate sensor have been used to get the physiological data from a patient’s body. These data can be used to monitor the health of the patient. The acquired data is then sent to a website server from which the doctors can check the patient’s vital signs anytime. Therefore, low-cost monitoring can be used in remote areas where people are not able to afford the healthcare. Future improvement can be done by sending an email containing the status of the health parameters to the doctor in case of emergency.
