Telemetr-acking

This project aims to reduce errors in medical institutions by leveraging advances in biotelemetry and RFID tracking technologies. Our objectives include wirelessly transmitting vital sign data, uniquely identifying personnel, and ensuring patient safety while promoting freedom. We will demonstrate our approach by collecting heart rate signals, determining approximate locations, and transmitting data to a central computer where it will be displayed on a user-friendly graphical interface. Future improvements will focus on refining device capabilities and enhancing modularity.
