    Normal method of monitoring the blood pressure is through manually measured by medical practitioners through the use of sphygmomanometers or automatically by blood pressure devices. These methods having drawbacks which might concur fatalities. Manual measurement is susceptible to human errors and environmental fluctuations. High or low pressure during the time interval in which the medical practitioners did not measure the pressure might not be administered in the treatment of the patient meaning there is a gap in data which might lead to misdiagnosis. Wireless System module is been used to obtain the objective of this project in which desirably a wireless monitoring system is designed

    The project is named Blood Pressure (BP) Monitoring System. The expected results of this project are; to design and implement a reliable blood pressure measuring device and integrated with wireless technology for monitoring purpose. Author are required to build a device that measures blood pressure and transmit the readings wirelessly thus it can be displayed on the computer’s screen. In 26 weeks’ time, Author had successfully designed and implemented the circuitry of the system, and developed a coding to capture systolic and diastolic values. The project is fully completed and author managed to achieve all objectives where the BP measuring device is integrated with XBee Series 1 and able to transmit systolic and diastolic values to the computer wirelessly

    This paper presents experimental results of four prismatic concrete reinforced beam and strengthened by NSM (Near surface mounted) FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) reinforced technique, with additional roots planted in the concrete. The strengthening technique causes load capacity of beams to increase from (6%-8%).A decrease in mid-span deflection was also observed from (4%-5%).Using this technique gave increasing in flexural beam resistant under the same conditions and this increasing was also noted in shear beam resistant

    In this project, our goal is to design a wireless sensor system, which can monitor user's vital signs and notifies medical personnel. . During health emergencies, there is little tolerance for system errors and poor usability designs. Clinical and technological efforts are being directed to focus on post surgery concerns to enhance the safety of the patients during this vulnerable period. This system will consist of a monitoring device, data transmission and the monitoring station. The proposed device will be asked to measure the blood pressure of the patients. Data will be transmitted using Hyperterminal and RS 232 into PC and the development the GUI will be based on LAB VIEW. This system shall facilitate communication between patients and medical professionals from distant locations

    Gas Pressure Measurement Device and Medical Vacuum Design

    Two methods are used in a digital pressure meter available in the market, namely positive pressure, and negative pressure. The positive one is used to measure the air pressure on a sphygmomanometer and medical gas pressure at an outlet in the treatment room so that operators can easily check medical gas pressure for the safety of the patient, or they can routinely check to find out how much pressure of the medical gas. Based on the background, the research aimed to design a digital pressure meter equipped with a medical gas measurement mode so that the device can be used to calibrate the sphygmomanometer, suction pump, and measure the medical gas pressure available at the medical gas outlet in each treatment room

    Stethoscope is a special device to hear heartbeat sound and monitor pulmonary disease. The most type of stethoscope used these days is the acoustic stethoscope. However, the problem with this acoustic stethoscope is the sound level very low. It is hard to analyze the heart sound and difficult to be diagnosed by a medical doctor. Therefore, this project was developed to monitor and display heartbeat sound using wireless digital stethoscope. The condenser microphone is used as a sensor to capture the low sensitivity of heart sound signal and transmit the signal using Antenna Arduino ZigBee Pro Series 1. Microcontroller Arduino Nano and Arduino Mega were used as a platform to process the signal and sent the result to the computer. Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed using MATLAB software to monitor real time electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform and for data logging purpose. The result shows that this device able to transmit and receive ECG waveform wirelessly. The ECG signal can be recorded through data logging application for further analysis by the medical personnel

    DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

    This project is about designing blood pressure monitoring system that integrated with wireless technology. The concept design of the system is consisted of multiple blood pressure sensors and a single computer. The blood pressure level is measured by blood pressure sensor than the information is sent through a wireless technology to the computer. Unfortunately, the project was not completed as proposed due to blood pressure measurement accuracy issue
