Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of a low power embedded system for the measurement and monitoring of physiological parameters like body temperature, respiration, blood pressure and ECG. The design is developed around a low power microcontroller MSP430 from Texas Instruments. A wireless sensor module is used to transfer the data from microcontroller to the PC and a graphical user interface (GUI) is developed to display the measured data in the graphical form.
