Abstract—The design and development of a Zigbee smart noninvasive
wearable physiological parameters monitoring device has
been developed and reported in this paper. The system can be used
to monitor physiological parameters, such as temperature and
heart rate, of a human subject. The system consists of an electronic
device which is worn on the wrist and finger, by an at-risk person.
Using several sensors to measure different vital signs, the person
is wirelessly monitored within his own home. An impact sensor
has been used to detect falls. The device detects if a person is
medically distressed and sends an alarm to a receiver unit that
is connected to a computer. This sets off an alarm, allowing help
to be provided to the user. The device is battery powered for use
outdoors. The device can be easily adapted to monitor athletes
and infants. The low cost of the device will help to lower the cost of
home monitoring of patients recovering from illness. A prototype
of the device has been fabricated and extensively tested with very
good results.
Index Terms—Body temperature measurement, fall detection,
heart rate measurement, home monitoring, physiological parameters,
sensors, wireless transmission, ZigBee.
