Abstract
Periodic monitoring of patients' physiological data is important in order to maintain in-ward patients' wellbeing under control. However, such an approach is exhaustive and may not be suitable for patients, because a slight negligence from medicinal services staff may lead to serious ramifications for the patients. This paper proposes a Patients' Monitoring System (PMS) in which multiple patients' vital sign data may be monitored automatically or on demand without human intervention. The suggested system is designed around Single Board Computer (SBC) based Message Passing Interface (MPI) Cluster. Low-cost Raspberry Pis are used as SBC. A prototype of the proposed system has been presented. Development steps have been discussed.
