“…Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), as the name suggests consist of a network of wireless nodes that have the capability to sense a parameter of interest like temperature, humidity, vibration etc [3,4]. The health care application of wireless sensory network attracts many researches nowadays [5][6][7] . Among these applications ECG monitoring using smart phones [6,8], wearable Body sensors [9], remote patient mentoring [10],...etc.…”

This work presents a healthcare monitoring system that can be used in an intensive care room. Biological information represented by ECG signals is achieved by ECG acquisition part. AD620 Instrumentation Amplifier selected due to its low current noise. The ECG signals of patients in the intensive care room are measured through wireless nodes. A base node is connected to the nursing room computer via a USB port , and is programmed with a specific firmware. The ECG signals are transferred wirelessly to the base node using nRF24L01+ wireless module. So, the nurse staff has a real time information for each patient available in the intensive care room. A star Wireless Sensor Network is designed for collecting ECG signals. ATmega328 MCU in the Arduino Uno board used for this purpose. Internet for things used For transferring ECG signals to the remote doctor, a Virtual Privet Network is established to connect the nursing room computer and the doctor computer. So, the patients information kept secure. Although the constructed network is tested for ECG monitoring, but it can be used to monitor any other signals.
