    There are numerous conventional methods used to determine or monitor one’s respiratory rate. The methods available are by using the measurement technologies of induction, resistivity, Piezo, thermistor, impedance, pressure, magnetic, optical and capacitivity. There is a need for utilizing one of these methods or technologies and implement it in such a way that it is portable, minimum discomfort and easy to use. Numerous studies were conducted on the methods to measure one’s respiratory rate. However, even with these researches done, there is a lack of a simple and cheap device in the market to be able to determine one’s respiratory rate. The respiratory rate monitoring system proposed by the author is using the concept of piezo resistivity coupled with microcontroller (Arduino-UNO) and wireless transmission through the use of Zigbee module. Piezo-resistivity is being used in many fields nowadays due to its flexibility in term of usage and its relatively low cost coupled with its simplicity. Through this proposed system, patient’s respiratory rate could be monitored through easier and cheaper means

    Developing Continuous Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring System

    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
