System for wireless health monitoring

A telemetric system that can measure physiological parameters in an unobtrusive way and can transmit it for remote monitoring can prove to be quite useful in providing the ambulatory patients with the freedom of mobility while their health is being monitored continuously. Such a system can be equally useful to monitor the vital signs of service personnel e.g. firefighters working in hazardous environment during their course of duty. In this paper a similar system that has been designed & developed for unobtrusive and continuous health monitoring, is being described The system uses RF and GSM communication methods to provide the physiological data online in real time.
