Abstract
In this work we designed a user friendly compact biomedical device that helps user to monitor and record change in general vital signs like- body temperature, heartbeat and ECG (electrocardiogram) with simple digital sensor models. Conventional biomedical devices are costly and requires expert personnel to operate the device. This device was designed to ensure portability, user-friendliness, reliability, ease of maintenance and cost optimization. The device also incorporates a computer interface software which will show real time ECG graphs and other measured biomedical data. This device can ensure user-friendly patient monitoring and better medication based on data statistics collected.
