A portable electronic device that can take physiological measurements from sensors and display them on a Bluetooth capable cell phone.

The device takes signals from several different sensors mounted either on the skin or on a PCB. These signals are then amplified, processed, and sent wirelessly to a Bluetooth cell phone.

At the end of the project a working prototype that can measure the pulse rate, skin temperature, galvanic skin response, and steps taken (i.e. a pedometer) is expected. These measurements will be sent via Bluetooth to a cell phone for display and analysis purposes.

This device will enable patients to monitor their health continuously from the privacy of their own home. It will let them lead their normal lives where as before they would have needed to be connected up to a machine.

There is a possibility for this device to replace some types of in hospital monitoring. Active athletes can use it to monitor themselves during training and the average person who is trying to get fit, or is under doctors' orders, can set goals and view them easily.

There is a possibility to expand this research to enable the device to have "clip" on sensors, so that the device can measure whatever the user wants information on.
