INTRODUCTION
What is patient monitoring system?
A monitor is a thing which gives a warning. The aim
of patient monitoring is, by continuous surveillance, to
detect early or dangerous deterioration, with reliability
and accuracy, and to give an appropriate warning or alarm. The
functional parts of such a monitor are concerned with input, data
handling and output. These are called sensors, processor and
communicator.

What is our Project?

The proposed system will continuously acquire three different
physiological signs, for example, ECG, Pulse rate, and temperature.
All physiological signs will be immediately transmitted to the
Android Application, we will receive physiological parameters such
as ECG, pulse rate and temperature via the Bluetooth connection
between the Android device and the detecting module; we will
process the received data with special algorithms to get steady
waves and then we will display data by waveform and digit.

TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
A temperature sensor is a device that
gathers data concerning the temperature from a
source and converts it to a form that can be
understood either by an observer or another
device.
IN OUR PROJECT WE USED:
LM35 gives an output voltage which is linearly
proportional to the centigrade temperature.
LM35 is voltage dependent, do not require any
external calibration.
It is directly connected to the AVR atmega16.

Pulse rate
What is pulse rate?
Heart rate, also known as pulse, is the number of times a
person's heart beats per minute.
Normal Heart Rate depends upon following factors
age
body size
heart conditions
whether the person is sitting or moving, even emotions
can have an impact on heart rate.

The signal
consists of

conditioning

circuit

Passive low pass filter with a cut-off frequency of

about 15.9 Hz.
High passive filter with a cut-off frequency of about
1.59 Hz.
It means the maximum measurable heart rate is
about 150 bpm.
We use operational amplifier IC used in this circuit
is OP-07
Filtering is necessary to block any higher frequency
noise present in
signal.
The gain of each filter stage is set to 500, giving the
total amplification of about 10000
The two stage filter provides sufficient gain to boost
the weak gain signal that coming from the photo
sensor unit and convert it into a pulse

What is an ECG?
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a representation of the
electrical events of the cardiac cycle.
Each event has a distinctive waveform, the study of
which can lead to greater insight into a patients cardiac
pathophysiology.
3 distinct waves are produced during cardiac cycle

P wave caused by atrial depolarization

QRS complex caused by ventricular
depolarization
T wave results from ventricular
repolarization

Placement of Electrodes
1) Right arm limb lead is red (Red goes to the right)
forearm,
proximal to the wrist.
2) Left arm limb lead is yellow and is considered the
Earth lead, and is placed at the forearm, proximal to
the wrist.
3) Left leg limb lead is green and is placed at the left
lower leg, proximal to the ankle.

BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth technology is a short-range
wireless communications technology to
replace the cables connecting electronic
devices, allowing a person to have a phone
conversation via a headset, use a wireless
mouse and synchronize information from a
mobile phone to a PC, all using the same
core system. The Bluetooth RF transceiver
(or physical layer) operates in the unlicensed
ISM band centered at 2.4 gigahertz (the
same range of frequencies used by
microwaves and Wi-Fi). The core system
employs a frequency-hopping transceiver to
combat interference and fading.

 IN OUR PROJECT WE USED:

The HC-06 acts as a serial port through which you can send
and receive data. So using a serial terminal or a Bluetooth
customized application on your computer or phone, you can
control and monitor your project.

What is Android?

One of the most widely used mobile OS these days

isANDROID.Androidis a software bunch comprising not only
operating system but also middleware and key applications.Android
Inc was founded in Palo Alto of California, U.S. by Andy Rubin, Rich
miner, Nick sears and Chris White in 2003. Later Android Inc. was
acquired by Google in 2005. After original release there have been
number of updates in the original version of Android.

The Platform Distribution

IMPLEMENTATION
The Java programming language, Eclipse [8] and the android
Software development Kit (SDK) are used as the development
tools and environment. Eclipse IDE is selected for the
development as it offers direct invoking of tools that are used
for developing applications through the eclipse Android
Development Tools (ADT) plug-in. Android contains a set of C
and C++ libraries that are responsible for performance
optimization and efficiency.
Dalvik Virtual Machine is special virtual machine used to run
Java based applications. Dalvik having its own byte code
format which is different from Java byte code. So we cannot
directly run Java class files on Android; we need to get
converted in the Dalvik byte code Format..

Algorithm for developing Android

Application
Android applicationsSteps
are primarily written in the
Java programming language in eclipse software
The Java source files are converted to Java class
files by the Java compiler.
The Android SDK contains a tool called dx which
converts Java class files into a .dex (Dalvik
Executable) file.
The .dex file and the resources of an Android
project, like images and XML files. They are
packed into an .apk (Android Package) file
So finally whole Android application (.apk file)will
be created and deployed

ECG Capturing
We can read ECG in mobile phone
using ECG
sensor . The Android multimedia
framework
includes
support
for
capturing and encoding a variety of
common ECG formats, so that we can
easily
integrate
ECG
into
our
applications..
