Vital signs are measures of various physiological statistics, often taken by health professionals, in order to assess the most basic body functions. Vital signs are an essential part of a case presentation. The act of taking vital signs normally entails recording body temperature, pulse rate (or heart rate) and blood pressure, but may also include other measurements. Vital signs often vary by age.There are three vital signs which are standard in most medical settings:body temperature,pulse rate (or heart rate),blood pressure. The equipment needed is a thermometer, a sphygmomanometer, and a watch. Though a pulse can often be taken by hand, a stethoscope may be required for a patient with a very weak pulse.In this research paper, we have introduced the ANDROID operating system to measure the vital signs such as Heart rate, blood pressure and temperature.s Heart rate, blood pressure and temperature.

“…For instance, in location-aware networks-which support a host of services such as emergency response [14], mobile advertising [18], and target tracking [23]-wireless nodes that are deployed in an area of interest must be able to localize themselves using distance measurements obtained from direct communications with their neighbors. Another example can be found in biochemistry, where the positions of atoms in a molecule-which provide important information about the properties and functions of the molecule-are typically determined from a set of geometric constraints that include a subset of the interatomic distances [6].…”

“…User interface issues are seldom covered, except for topics like simulation [11,31], quality of service [26,29] and deployment [32]. Emergency response is sometimes put forward as a suitable application area for ad hoc networks [10,24], and there has also been conducted work on network solutions targeted at emergency response [6,13,21], but most of this work also focus on network issues.…”

Abstract. In this paper we use findings from three empirical studies to analyze how the use of wireless ad hoc networks as part of an ICT solution for emergency response imposes requirements to the user interface of these solutions. The analysis starts by arguing that explicit details about the network used (like availability, coverage and connected nodes) should be visualized for the user and may be used by applications to obtain useful information. It continues by discussing requirements to user interfaces for local leaders and field workers, identifying cross-platform support as an important need for the leaders and supporting different modalities as an important need for field workers. These and other requirements are used as input to an analysis of challenges when developing these user interfaces, concluding that handling flexibility is essential. Finally, we turn around and look at ad hoc networks from a user interface perspective. In particular, we present requirements to ad hoc networks used in ICT solutions for emergency response, focusing on size, speed and providing awareness of network status through the nodes in the network themselves.
