Abstract
The development and implementation of different technological projects, supported by the corresponding medical knowledge, can contribute to solving various problems in the health sector. Although enormous efforts have been made in recent years to develop technologies applicable to clinical environments, developing technologies for home healthcare could reduce the pressure that currently overwhelms hospitals. In this project, the design and implementation of a system for monitoring vital signs is carried out, which measures a person's heart rate, blood oxygenation, and body temperature. The information obtained from each vital sign is sampled and processed by a digital platform and subsequently sent through a Bluetooth module to a mobile device for analysis and visualization. The prototype was evaluated through a battery of tests to measure vital signs in different patients.
