Java Based Serial Data Logging System

The main objective of this project is to develop a Java based GUI (Graphical User Interface) for database entry through serial port. This paper proposes direct database entry through Java API (Application Program Interface) and database entry through serial port using Java software environment. Since the programming language is Java, this document deals with features and configuration required for the Java project. The technological aspects of this project are database connectivity, serial port communication and developing GUI.The project ―Java Based Data Logging System‖ demonstrates a prototype that can be developed at server side within an integrated campus or pool. The back-end installed architectural independent nature of Java can be useful for quick data entry and analysis between client-server in a secure and easy manner. Nowadays most users already own the requisites such as a mobile phone or desktop PC; hence the cost of the system considerably reduced. In more and more healthcare facilities, patient files are being kept in databases that can be accessed from anywhere in the facility. This is not only a time saver but it also results in better data coordination and management. The widespread adoption of electronic health records has resulted in significant savings in health care costs as well as improved patient health and safety.
