In the last decade the healthcare monitoring systems have drawn considerable attentions of the
researchers. The prime goal was to develop a reliable patient monitoring system so that the healthcare
professionals can monitor their patients, who are either hospitalized or executing their normal daily life
activities. In this work we present a mobile device based wireless healthcare monitoring system that can
provide real time online information about physiological conditions of a patient. Our proposed system is
designed to measure and monitor important physiological data of a patient in order to accurately describe
the status of her/his health and fitness. In addition the proposed system is able to send alarming message
about the patient’s critical health data by text messages or by email reports. By using the information
contained in the text or e-mail message the healthcare professional can provide necessary medical
advising. The system mainly consists of sensors, the data acquisition unit, microcontroller (i.e., Arduino),
and software (i.e., LabVIEW). The patient’s temperature, heart beat rate, muscles, blood pressure, blood
glucose level, and ECG data are monitored, displayed, and stored by our system. To ensure reliability and
accuracy the proposed system has been field tested. The test results show that our system is able to measure
the patient’s physiological data with a very high accuracy.
