Development of Non-contact Vital Sign Real-time Monitoring System by Using IR Camera

This paper describes a non-contact monitoring system by using IR(Infra Red) camera as an u-Health device to record a person's thermal heat. The IR. camera is used as one of the very important medical device in the field of non-contact vital sign monitoring and u-Health care service. The developed system is composed of an IR camera module, a wired communication module and application program. The developed system is experimented under various persons; young men, young women, old men and old women. And we compared the developed system with the existing thermometers. The result of experiment shows the promising possibilities to estimate a person's thermal heat as a non-contact method.
