In this 21st century we must agree the advancement of technologies and the inventions especially in healthcare sector. The technologies allow the doctor and nurses to analysis and evaluate patient's health with more accurate readings. The use of Body Area Network (BAN) for health monitoring is to provude the users with logging of patients' vital signs for health monitoring is an approach to monitor the patient health condition and able to send the data to the doctor for reference. A BAN is consisting two nodes which is heart rate and temperature rate. Each of nodes consisted of a pulse sensor, a temperature sensor, microcontroller and Wi-Fi module. All the information about the patient condition will then transmit a data to a server. The captured data was inserted into a "ThingSpeak" database where a webpage that is displaying the data of the patient condition. The system is tested in real time and the data was successfully obtained and displayed. Further research is being conducted to protect the data that can be encrypted that is also being research as well.
