A novel approach which has potential to improve quality of patient care about Heart beat & pulse oximetermonitoring system on general Intensive Care unit is proposed. Patient care is a labour-intensive task that requires high input of human resources. A heart beat & pulse oximeterMonitoring system is proposed which can go some way towards improving patient monitoring on general Intensive Care unit. Sometimes it becomes necessary to monitor physiological events from a distance monitoring a patient in an ambulance and in other applications away from the hospital, collection of medical data from a home or office and use of telephone links for transmission of medical data. When the patient is in critical condition and is admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) or is being operated upon in the operation theatre (OT), it is crucial to monitor the patient for his physiological parameters such as heart beat, blood pressure, temperature, respiration rate, pulse oximeter rate etc. This monitoring is necessitated on account of the immediate response required for support of patients. The monitor provides the healthcare team with the information that is used to make decisions about the patient’s treatment. In this system vital signs i.e. signals are gathered from patients and sent to a control unit for centralized monitoring. The heart beat & pulse oxymetermonitoring system can complement the role of nurses in monitoring patients’ vital signs. They will be able to focus on holistic needs of patients thereby providing better personal care. Wireless network technologies, ZigBee, Bluetooth, GSM and Wi-Fi, are utilized for transmission of vital signs in the proposed heart beat monitoring system. They provide flexibility and mobility to patients. The results illustrated the capability, suitability and limitation of the chosen technology.
