Abstract/Summary
Power Line Communications is a technology that utilizes the existing AC lines for data communications. There is no need to set-up new wires because the power lines behind the walls of any structure can function as a transmission medium.
Vital Signs monitoring on the other hand is a basic task of any medical practitioner, specifically the nurse. Nurses regularly check the vital signs of their patients Body Temperature, Pulse Rate, Respiration, and Blood Pressure. But this task proves to be tedious especially when nurses are assigned a lot of patients.
This thesis solves that problem by using the existing AC lines as the transmission medium. Modules will be set-up for each patient, acquire their vital signs and send the data through the AC Lines. On the monitoring station, a Graphical User Interface processes the data and stores it in a database for future use.
