Patient Monitoring and Care System

Abstract

Patient Monitoring and Care System is the term for all the various devices that are used to supervise patients. One category of such devices are those that alert and react accordingly if the patient gets into a critical state. Examples of such devices are heartbeat and temperature monitors. To a large extent computer based monitoring and intensive care unit systems have become cheap enough to be deployed on a large scale in many intensive care units around the world. The bedside has become an important point of displaying data. Bedside, these devices have capabilities of intelligent monitoring, intelligent alarming and reacting accordingly depending upon the treatment prescribed. Patient monitoring is vital to care in operating and emergency rooms, intensive care and critical care units. In our project, we aim at developing a prototype that simply the vital information of the patient will be displayed and henceforth develop a care system for the patient which prevents criticalities.
