INTRODUCTION
The medical monitoring system which are

composed of two parts, which are monitoring

unit and a monitoring center. Here the user can carry the mobile monitoring unit and it can monitor the physiological real time data from the user with sensors. The intelligent control system automatically

connect to the monitoring system.

HARDWARE FUNCTIONALITY
ARM7TDMI ECG MODULE GPRS MODULE LCD DISPLAY MAX232-MAX2323 IC

ARM7TDMI
ARM stands for advanced RISC machines In this project using Philips LPC 2138 microcontroller with an ARM7TDMI processor core. ARM7TDMI-S processor, running at up to 72 MHz. ARM7TDMI is a 32 bit processor Up to 64 kB of SRAM on the ARM local bus for high performance CPU access.

ARM7TDMI
10bit A/D converter with input multiplexing among 8 pins and 10 bit D/A converter. General purpose timers. PWM/Timer block with support for three-phase motor control. External count inputs. Real-Time Clock (RTC) with separate power pin 2 kB Static RAM powered from the RTC power pin, allowing data to be stored when the rest of the chip is powered off. Watchdog Timer.

ARM7TDMI
In this project the main modules of ARM7TDMI that are going to use are UART ADC GPIO UART stands for universal asynchronous receiver

transmission.

It

is

used

for

transmission

and

reception of data. ADC stands for analog to digital conversion. We have 10 bit 8 channel ADC.

UART
In ARM7TDMI ,UART is used for transmission and reception of data. At a time 1 byte of data is received or transmitted. 16 byte Receive and Transmit FIFOs. UART1 with the addition of a modem interface. UART3 includes an IrDA mode to support infrared communication.

ADC
We have 1 ADC channels in ARM7TDMI It is a 10-bit 8 channel ADC It takes 2.44 s for conversion of ANALOG values to DIGITAL value. Measurement range 0 to 3 . ADC has a power down mode i.e. even when the processor goes to sleep mode A/D conversion will still continue

ECG sensor module

Electro cardio gram module, here it includes three leads system. One lead, ground connected to right leg, the other two at left arm and right arm or left arm or left leg or right arm and left leg. The output signal from the sensor should processed before connected to processor.

LCD DISPLAY
A 4 bit LCD display used in this project. The LCD has a 16X2 display. It consists of 16 pins in which 4 pins are used for data/command 3 control pins

LCD PIN structure

VEE : contrast. RS :0 command 1 data. R/W : 0 write 1- read Address: 0x80 onwards

GPRS MODULE
GPRS module is used for sending the ECG signal value to the control station. At first we pass AT in order to initialize GPRS along with enter key We have a set of instructions known as the AT command set in order to initialize the GPRS module. We then get an OK from the GPRS module

MAX232-MAX2323 IC
This is an RS-232C standard IC which is used for serial communication. It is used for interfacing the microcontroller with GPRS module. This IC is used in applications where 12v is not available.
