Online published on 4 June, 2019. Abstract Vital sign monitor is used to scan the complete parameters of a person in an ambulance, ICU ward or at home(portable).our project is a working model which incorporates sensors to measure all these parameters like body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and the partial pressure of oxygen-SPO2. The SPO2 circuit can also function as a saline monitoring circuit which gives alarm when the saline bottle becomes empty. The IR sensor emits infra red rays which when absorbed by the tissues gives the oxygen saturation of the arterial blood. Both audible and visual alarms are produced when there is any sort of errors. The main components of our project are the sensors, signal conditioning board and the microcontroller. The microcontroller used is PIC 16F877A.
