Vital signs are very important to determine the patient's health status. Vital signs abnormalities appear several hours before the patient health quality decrease. Therefore, checking vital signs regularly helps to prevent chronic diseases. Vital signs that are focused on this thesis are body temperature and respiration rate. Body temperature is a vital sign that most people pay attention to and the respiration rate is the most neglected vital sign in clinical practice. In this final project, an Androidbased portable product development that integrates measurements of body temperature and respiration rate is carried out. Body temperature will be detected by an infrared temperature sensor. To calculate the respiration rate, a thermistor will be used. The accuracy that achieved by body temperature measurement is 84% with ±1,37% precision. The accuracy that achieved by the respiration rate measurement is 97,78% with ±3,98% precision. The two sensing systems are integrated into the microcomputer with a serial communication channel. And then, the measurement results that have been processed on the microcomputer are sent to Android using Bluetooth. Measurement results can be displayed and saved on the Android application. Product portability parameters are measured by weight, size, durability, and power supply. This final project can be included as a portable product. This product dimension is 27×23×7 cm3 with a weight of 1.06 kg which has good durability. The power supply for this system uses a power bank with a capacity of 12000 mAh which can operate for 3 hours (± 12-times measurement).
