Infant Monitoring Device (IMD) Group 4 Power PC Medical Team
Objectives Create monitor that will allow the parents to record an infant’s vital signs. Pulse Temperature Blood Pressure Respiratory Design and build a system that allows this information to be stored and transferred for medical review.
Project Background A medical monitoring system can help reduce concern over an ill child by assuring the parents that the child is in a stable condition. The IMD is a device that a hospital will lease to concerned parents, especially those of children with special medical needs, such as premature babies.
