Medical Multiparameter Measurement System Development for Doctors

Abstract

To determine the overall fitness and risk developing chronic diseases of person, doctors need to know the various parameters of person which are height, weight and temperature. For measuring these parameters doctors need different devices. Hence, in this paper, a system is designed to measure height, weight and temperature of a person in a single device. The system includes hall sensor, load cell, LM35 PIC microcontroller, LCD display, pulley with handle and base on which person has to stand. The hall sensor, load cell and LM35 sensor are used for measuring height, weight and temperature, respectively. These three sensors and PIC microcontroller and LCD display are mounted on a same base on which person has to stand. The procedure involves measuring the parameters which are height, weight and temperature using sensors and converting the parameters into digital form using ADC and displaying them on the LCD with the help of PIC microcontroller. This paper concludes with the cost effective system which will also helps to measure body mass index of person along with the mention three parameters.
