Real Time Wireless Health Monitoring System

In this paper a Health Monitoring System is presented. The System can be easily adopted to monitor the conditions of patient or performance of an athlete in Hospital and Gymnasium respectively. Blood Oxygen level, Temperature, Heart Rate and Breath Rate are called vital signs. Human body's most basic and important functions can be described in term of vital signs. The System incorporates data acquisition of vital signs using noninvasive approach, wireless transmission of the data, results display and their interpretation using soft computing. Health of a Patient can be monitored based on vital signs. Endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness of an athlete can be described in terms of VO2max, Anaerobic Threshold (AT) and Total Calories Expenditure. The system is equally reliable to monitor endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness of athletes. Suitable results are achieved based on the system.
