significance of the study, scopes and limitations, hypotheses, and the definition of
terms. 1.1 Introduction Vital signs are estimations of the body's most fundamental
capacities. The 4 main vital signs routinely monitored by healthcare providers include
Body temperature, Pulse rate, Respiration Rate, and Blood pressure.
Vital signs help perceive or monitor medical issues. They can be measured in a clinical
setting, at home, at the site of an emergency zone, or elsewhere. (The Johns Hopkins
Medicine, 2020) Monitoring system its fundamental is to allow users to capture data,
process, and systematically disseminate information. The monitoring system enables us
to measure trends of various indicators based on the information gathered in the field.
A monitoring system is fundamental in supporting post-catastrophe relief and
recuperation. (MONITORING INFORMATION SYSTEM, n.d.)
There are some patients are being confined in a hospital because they need to be
monitored, some cannot afford to stay for a long time in a hospital because of high
hospital bills and there are patients that have a personal caretaker at home. It is a good
thing to have someone who will monitor your situation especially when your life is at
risk. Therefore, 2 San Sebastian College – Recoletos de Cavite we will develop a Vital
Sign Monitoring System that can be used at home or in the hospital that will show the
vitals of the patient.
The primary concern of the study is to design and develop a Vital Sign Monitoring
System. The developers will create hardware that can monitor the vitals of the patient.

with or necessary to the continuation of life. Monitoring System – are answerable for
controlling the technology utilized by an organization to dissect their performance, and
to recognize and alert about the conceivable mistake.
Pulse Rate - is a measurement of the pulse or the occasions the heart thumps every
moment. The ordinary heartbeat for grown-ups goes from 60 to 100 thumps for each
minute. Blood Pressure - is the force of the blood pushing against the artery during
withdrawal and unwinding of the heart. Typical blood pressure is systolic of under 120
and diastolic of under 80 (120/80). 5 San Sebastian College – Recoletos de Cavite
Respiration Rate - is the number of breaths an individual takes for each minute.
Ordinary breath rates for a grown-up individual reach from 12 to 16 breaths for each
minute.
Body Temperature - the normal temperature of the human body. Normal body
temperature can range from 36.5 degrees Celsius to 37 degrees Celsius for a healthy
adult. 1.6 Scope & Delimitation The developers set that the scopes and delimitation of
the VISITORS are stated below: 1.6.1 Scope The VISITORS will only give the vital of the
patient who has been connected to the device. The device will show the pulse rate,
blood pressure, respiration rate, and body temperature. 1.6.2 Delimitation ? The
VISITORS only gives the vital information of the patient who has been connected to the
device.
