Abstract

In hospital there are more activities that are performed by medical staff and doctors which put less time to attend patients regularly. Patients sometimes need urgent treatment which is unaware by nurses and doctors. In current day technology and intelligent systems play important role in hospital to improve lives of patients. This paper we developed wearable system that uses sensors such as temperature and pulse rate to sense condition of patient. Microcontroller together with Wi-Fi module send information to cloud (Thingspeak) able nurses and doctors to monitor patient's activities. Data is continuously monitored all the time, this can help to medical staff to safe time going to each patient to that measurements and more time to attend patients who require urgent assistance. Also device allows patient to move freely in and outside patient room.
