E-healthcare system to monitor vital signs

Nowadays, a lot of older people suffering from chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and sleep apnea which require constant monitoring of certain health parameters of patients which sometimes, does not exist only in the hospital. This work presents a model design for observing with testing the vital signs of the patients depend on sensors and web services. A proposed monitoring system uses e-health shield connect Arduino Uno that collects medical information from the patients. Different parameters measured, like blood pressure, heart rate and glucose level into blood which are transmitted via ZigBee to the microcontroller then uploaded to the system website platform by a gateway. In addition, the proposed system is capable of giving alert message whenever an abnormal condition occurs. Therefore, the GPS/GPRS services were used to send the alert mobile message to a specialist doctor.
