Jefferson S. Berbano, Arvin Lorenz E. Pineda and Ryunico Ray C. Sumilang. A Prototype of Microcontroller Based Body Temperature Monitoring System. Unpublished Project Study for the degree Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, College of Engineering, Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation, Lucena City, February 2013. Body temperature is a very important aspect to consider, for determining whether the person is in normal condition or has an illness. The main purpose of this study is to provide usability, reliability efficiency in monitoring the body temperature of a patient continuously and wirelessly. This document focuses on designing a prototype of a microcontroller based body temperature monitoring system using zigbee. The research and development investigate the accuracy and the range distance ability of the zigbee. Source of data for the research includes books; publish papers, evaluation as well as the internet. The knowledge gain from the institution helped on the development of the system actual working model. As for the effectiveness of the system, students of College of Engineering and Technical department, as well as the other departments of the university especially the students and faculty member of the College of Nursing were given evaluation sheets. This measures the usability, reliability and efficiency of the study. The results of the evaluation designate the satisfactory for each measure. The designing and development of the study was accomplished due to combine principles and theories that the researchers learned from the institution. Recommendations sighted the things to be done for the progress of the project such as using MCU for the ease of control in charge controller of the temperature monitoring system and the use of the zigbee transmitter and receiver for the communication of the system.
