The wireless technologies itself have been developing and on increasing trends throughout the years. This study discusses on the comparison on two types of wireless technologies to be deployed in the healthcare industries for monitoring patient's vital signs, which are, heart rate and temperature. RF and Zigbee technologies were used in series of experiments to monitor these vital signs. It was found that the Zigbee technology produced reliable and accurate data with longer transmission range. This study also discusses on development of the device from designing until the printed PCB version. Series of tests were conducted using the variations of parameters and Zigbee technology produces stable and similar output vital signs reading compared to the conventional device. © 2014 IEEE. date: 2014 publisher: IEEE Computer Society official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84906342268&doi=10.1109%2fICIAS.2014.6869493&partnerID=40&md5=0e2f5f50a2b6bc67cdf2ceb7fb6eb03c id_number: 10.1109/ICIAS.2014.6869493 full_text_status: none publication: 2014 5th International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems: Technological Convergence for Sustainable Future, ICIAS 2014 - Proceedings place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781479946549 citation: Gulcharan, N.F.I. and Daud, H. and Nor, N.M. and Ibrahim, T. and Nyamasvisva, T.E.
