In the last decade the healthcare monitoring systems have drawn considerable attentions of theresearchers. The prime goal was to develop a reliable patient monitoring system so that the healthcareprofessionals can monitor their patients, who are either hospitalized or executing their normal daily lifeactivities. In this work we present a mobile device based wireless healthcare monitoring system that canprovide real time online information about physiological conditions of a patient. Our proposed system isdesigned to measure and monitor important physiological data of a patient in order to accurately describethe status of her/his health and fitness. In addition the proposed system is able to send alarming messageabout the patient’s critical health data by text messages or by email reports. By using the informationcontained in the text or e-mail message the healthcare professional can provide necessary medicaladvising. The system mainly consists of sensors, the data acquisition unit, microcontroller (i.e., Arduino),and software (i.e., LabVIEW). The patient’s temperature, heart beat rate, muscles, blood pressure, bloodglucose level, and ECG data are monitored, displayed, and stored by our system. To ensure reliability andaccuracy the proposed system has been field tested. The test results show that our system is able to measurethe patient’s physiological data with a very high accuracy.
