Design and Development of a Prototype Signal-based Hospital Communication System

Abstract

Bamisaye AJ

The signal based hospital communication system is focused at enhancing effective communication and monitoring of patients by the health officer within the premises of the hospital. It is simple in design, effective and serviceable with the wired logic approach while the use of radio waves for the final link was avoided because of the inherent danger to human health. The various units consisting of power supply, multivibrators, logic gates and indicating system for lighting were designed to specification putting in mind the relevance and availability of parts. The prototype was constructed and testing was made contiguous to the hospital situation.
