CuraBand: Health Monitoring and Warning System

We have come to an era where the hospitals have increasing needs in terms of staff members. The ratio of patients to hospital staff has increased drastically over the years. One nurse cannot continuously monitor all the patients throughout the day. Hence, there is a constant desire for devices for continuous monitoring of patients that are just shifted outside the ICU and are still at grave risk. This paper deals with the design and development of a smart wristband—CuraBand, which is a compact vital parameter monitoring device. It continually monitors the temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation level and alerts the respective authorities in case of abnormalities in the readings through an android application, thus ensuring immediate action. This project aims to provide a provision for the doctors to monitor their patients from anywhere in the world.
