Monitoring the health of patients continuously is a big task for doctors. The design and development of a ZigBee smart noninvasive Wearable monitoring device plays a major role in measuring the physiological parameters such as temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, patient's movement. The system consists of an electronic device which is worn on the wrist or finger of an at-risk person. It consists of several sensors which measures different vital signs that are to be measured during emergency. An impact sensor has been used to detect falls. Wireless sensing units integrate wireless communications with transducers to deliver a sensor platform. The device detects if a person is medically distressed and sends an alarm to a receiver unit that is connected to a remote computer. The care taker gets alerted and takes the remedy according to the situation. Here results are obtained using LabView software.
