Abstract--A scrutinizes of patient during the crucial situation plays a vital role in every house. Point-of-care (POC) patient monitoring refers to near patient testing, usually outside the central hospital or primary care facility. Sometimes, poc testing is performed by a hospital employee by regular visits to the patient's home to monitor vital parameters or the state of a patient in the recovery process of rehabilitation. Remote patient monitoring is an alternative to regular home check-ups of patients with certain special medical conditions or the elderly who are unable to regularly visit a healthcare facility. Here we used wireless technologies to reduce the number of home visits which are now only required when special attention is needed. In Home section, patient monitoring unit with parameters such as ECG, movement sensing and body temperature. The measured parameter data will be transferred to the central receiving unit through Zigbee communication. The Central receiving unit fed the parameter values into the PC In the remote section, parameter data will be displayed and stored into the database.
