In present days, Health issues are occurring more frequently. Because of climatic changes, industrialization and technical advancement which led to reduced physical activity. Saving lives requires monitoring the health conditions of people who have chronic diseases or heart related problems. Decrease in morbidity from disease and extend lives can be achieved by earlier detection of problems. When we reach a certain age we have to keep monitoring the three vital signs of the body to extend our lives. In this paper, we are designing a healthcare monitoring system which can either monitor or measure three vital signs i.e. heart rate, respiratory rate and body temperature of human body. The developed system uses wearable sensors to measure body temperature, heart rate and breathing rate. In order to minimize human involvement and respond at an appropriate time a health monitoring designed FGPA system will take the data from the sensors and analyze the date. It will give the health report, health status and alerts the concerned whenrequired.
