Abstract
The application of embedded systems in the field of Biomedical Sciences provides the means to build an accurate health and vital signs monitor. The usage of superficial and non-superficial sensors allows the extraction of various parameters required for the diagnostics of a patient. Such health monitoring devices are not a viable option for the less fortunate who continue to use traditional detection techniques. Furthermore, the systems commercially produced are not open to customization and hence may not be incremented upon to detect new parameters, hence requiring the purchase of a new system. The proposed system instead grants more customizability and portability to the user to allow the creation of a general purpose health monitor that is offered at a lower cost. In this project, we measure the viability of the proposed system by fabricating sensors of various vital signs such as sweat levels, body temperature, pulse rate and blood oxygenation levels using superficial sensors and a tracking system on a smart phone device that serves as a back end. An alternate cloud model approach has also been proposed considering the benefits of cloud computing and to enact the requirement of the ubiquitous nature of the project.
