An implantable medical device to monitor the vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature and respiration rate is developed and its performance is estimated. A rechargeable battery is also embedded with the device so as to support uninterrupted monitoring of the signs. The status of the battery can also be monitored externally. The information gathered by the device is transmitted to the PC or mobile with the help of RF transceiver and a portable Wi-Fi based module. The system is optimized to operate at a nominal input power, achieve quick response and provide accurate output.
