The proposed device delineates the design and development of a low-cost wearable unobtrusive wrist band for monitoring the health parameters, namely, blood pressure, heart rate and surface body temperature, and transmitting the data to the healthcare givers. The hardware was realized with the help of physiological sensors, namely, blood pressure sensor and Thermistor in conjunction with Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller board. An android application was designed which allows the Smartphone of the user to connect to the device via Bluetooth.During the scheduled check-up time, the user triggered a control command using the android application, which in turn, initiated the sensors of the stand-alone wearable device. The sensors recorded the body parameters and sent them back to the Smartphone. Bluetooth was used as the mode of data transmission. The parameters, along with timestamp, were stored as text documents and were shared with the health care-givers through e-mail. This device is also capable of working automatically with varying temperature conditions. The proposed device provides the ease of usage by any kind of people any-where at any-time.
