Abstract

In English:
This project corresponds to the implementation of group of sensors capable of measuring a patient`s blood pressure, glucose and corporal temperature. The system is part of the sensors network Konócete, which is a remote vital signs monitoring network capable of sending a SMS with the health status of an over 18 year old patient to the responsible of his or her medical condition. The system counts with an ADC digital sphygmomanometer and a Roche Accu-Chek Aviva, in which for both cases an implementation of a circuit was made in order to communicate with them and acquire their measurements, so then those measurements could be sent to the Information Central of Konócete. A digital oral thermometer was designed to acquire the patient’s temperature. For the acquisition of the patient’s blood pressure, the circuit designed was capable of reading the EEPROM HT24LC16 of the sphygmomanometer used. For the acquisition of the glucose concentration, the circuit designed and implemented was capable of communicating, in an infrared manner with the glucometer. For this circuit, a PIC24FJ64GB002 microcontroller and a TFDU4101 transceiver were used. Finally, with the DS18B20 it was possible to implement an oral thermometer with an accuracy of ±0.4°C.
